(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) -- SayHueque.com have announced that the first Southern Right Whales sightings have been confirmed off Argentina's coast and the 2010 Argentina whale watching tour season has officially begun.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, June 17, 2010 -- New Argentina Whale Watching Tours announced by SayHueque.com. Today SayHueque.com have announced that the first Southern Right Whales sightings have been confirmed off Argentina's coast and the 2010 Argentina whale watching tour season has officially begun.
Southern Whales have returned from the freezing waters of Antartica to birth and raise their calves in the "warmer" waters of Patagonia, off the coast of Argentina's Valdes Peninsula. An important natural reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valdes Peninsula is one of the most pristine coastal regions in South America and also the premiere Argentina whale watching tour destination.
With a natural curiosity, the whales do not seem to fear the tourists, and they often approach the tourist boats for a closer look. The Southern Right Whale can weigh up to 50 tonnes, measure up to nearly 20 meters in length and is one of the largest mammals in the world.
SayHueque.com offers weekly departures to the Valdes Peninsula starting June 20th for the 2010 season. The Argentina Whale Watching Tour includes 4 days and three night's accommodation in comfortable bed & breakfast, whale watching tour, tour of the nearby penguin Rookery and local transfers from US$345. http://www.sayhueque.com/patagonia/peninsula_valdes.php
Besides the whales, it is common to see Commerson's Dolphins surfing the waves along the coast and swimming in the wake of the boat. Orcas, also known as Killer Whales, are also commonly seen in these waters and with a bit of luck, one may even see the dramatic moment when a hunting orca beaches itself as it attempts to capture a sea lion or elephant seal. The Valdes Peninsula is the only place in the world where this Orca hunting behaviour has been observed.
