About This Trip
Seriema Nature Tours runs offshore pelagic trips from Mar del Plata harbour into the productive South Atlantic waters of the Buenos Aires shelf, venturing approximately 20 nautical miles offshore. These full-day trips target an impressive suite of Southern Ocean seabirds including Black-browed and Yellow-nosed Albatrosses, Southern Royal and Shy Albatrosses, White-chinned Petrel, Southern Giant Petrel, Cape Petrel, Southern Fulmar, Wilson's Storm-Petrel, and multiple shearwater species. The Patagonian shelf break is one of the most seabird-rich marine environments in the South Atlantic, drawing large concentrations of tubenoses year-round.
