Great tour with awesome Guides - Thank you,muchas gracias, to our tourguides Pablo and Oscar, who made this great tour even better. We had luck with the weather, we saw many penguins for that time of the year and we had tourguides, that enriched our experience with their great knowledge as well as their funny and sympathetic manner.
Thanks for this great experience.

A unique experience - An extended day trip that is more than worth it for the unique experience of seeing Humbolt and Magellanic Penguins in the natural habitat. Coupled with a highly informative guide that kept us engaged the entire trip and a few interesting stops on the way there and back will not leave you waiting. All made possible for me by the excellent team at Patagonia Austral. I will definitely be going back and Patagonia Austral will be my first choice for arranging local excursions.

Excellent - Javier was an excellent driver and guide, fluent English, humorous and full of knowledge. We enjoyed the ferry to Chiloe and the touring on the island as well as the boat trip to the penguins.

Beautiful experience!! - The tour to Chiloé was very nice. The landscapes and places we could know are must-see stops in Chile. It's definitely the cutest thing in the South.
It wouldn't have been the same without our guide Carlos. He made the path and the adventure fun and relaxed, I thank him for sharing with us the history of the place and answering our questions, he allowed us to go with the music that we will like the most and talked a lot about the folklore of the Island and Puerto Varas. It definitely enlivened the trip as few do. We were very lucky to have him as our guide.
The place he took us to eat was also delicious. I recommend this tour 100%!! Greetings from Mexico.

Don't miss Punihuil when on Chiloe Island - Short boat ride from the beach, but plenty to see. Loads of wildlife. Penguins are the star, both Magellenic and Humboldt, but plenty of other birds to see. Definitely worth the stop. Plenty of restaurants on the beach for a meal.

Essential tour and excellent tour operator - Tour highly recommended to know the island, both its beautiful landscape and its impressive fauna (penguins, sea lions, birds, etc.). Alexis our friendly guide, very professional and with great knowledge of the areas we visited. A wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone on their visit to Chile. Excellent gastronomy at a very good price, thanks to the tour operator. Essential for families with children (and not so children).
