Whale Sound is an organization administered by marine biologists with a view to studying the marine fauna in the area in the Magallanes Straight. Since 2000 Whale Sound has pioneered research in this field in the area which led to the Chilean government to establish the first Marine Park in Chile around the CarlosIII Island in the western channel of the Straight.

On CarlosIIIIsland is an eco camp for tourists and marine biologists that comprise a small number of hard-shell dome tents that can sleep two people each on simple beds that are elevated from the floor. The domes are spacious and offer good protection from the elements. There is also a communal dining hall, also within a larger tent, and outdoor bathroom facilities. From one end of the dining hall is a direct view out to the bay and any whales that happen to be passing. Max capacity is for only 10 people.

We can offer a 2 night / 3 day package at Whale Sound that includes transport from Punta Arenas onboard a small boat (that takes a few hours to reach the Island), accommodation with meals at the eco camp, visits out to whales that are in the bay, and weather permitting, a visit to the Glacier on SantaInesIsland. There are also options to kayak close to the whales and around the shore line. A stay on CarlosIIIIsland offers a truly remarkable adventure experience where one is totally isolated from the world of “Man”. Time here will offer total seclusion, tranquility and peace and an opportunity to be in a very remote location in the heart of nature with the spectacle of a real-life whale show, however, it is not for those who are seeking home comforts.

Helicopter Full Day

For those who do not have the time we can offer a trip to Carlos III by helicopter for a full day excursion.

Faro San Isidro

We can also arrange a combined package that includes a stay at a lodge next to the “Faro San Isidro” (San Isidro Lighthouse), which is located at Cape Froward – the most southern point if continental America. The old light house building has been restored and almost next to it is a small, modern lodge offering comfortable, hotel-style accommodation and services. Here visitors can trek various trails through native forest and up to the look-out where Charles Darwin went when he explored these parts. There is also an option to use the kayak facilities. Faro San Isidro is also in a remote location and offers a unique quiet and tranquil experience away from the developed World.
