“We did a 2-day sea kayak trip from Petrohue river to Cochamó with Catalina from Ko'kayak and it was a fantastic experience. Catalina is a very experienced guide, she is committed to high standards of safety and security in sea kayaking, she made us feel really safe. She shares her knowledge of birds and plants with great generosity, she was really nice. We slept one night in a very good tent on Yolanda's property and had a delicious supper with Yolanda and her family at her house. It was fantastic meeting them.

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26 reviews · 4 hours · from $171

Horseback up Cerro Dorotea from Puerto Natales for fjord views of Última Esperanza, border crossing, and coffee at the lookout.

“muy costoso para lo que fue. Al final me cambiaron el recorrido y me dijeron que visitariamos otro fiordo (lo vi mucho mejor desde el taxi que desde la ruta a caballo). La actitud del guía deja mucho por desear (con otros turistas fue grosero, y su forma de hablar cortante, al límite de lo irrespetuoso). Adicional a eso, allá les cobraron 90.000 pesos chilenos, no entiendo por qué terminé yo pagando mucho más. El guía decidió hacer la cabalgata un poco más corta y los otros también se quejaron al respecto con él, a lo que respondió que el clima no estaba muy bueno y había 2 turistas esperando…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 12 reviews · 10 hours · from $251

Grey Glacier from Puerto Natales, catamaran on Lake Grey with icebergs and 20m ice walls, pisco sour onboard.

“Lo que uds ofrecen no es lo que publicitan, no hay almuerzo y tampoco guía, nos agendaron para la primera salida de acuerdo a nuestros boletos y al hacer el check-in en el hotel para salir en el bote, estábamos para el segundo turno, no llegaron tres personas y pudimos realizar la navegación, de otra forma perdíamos la travesía. Por tanto realizaré un reclamo al Sernac por publicidad engañosa cuando regrese a mi lugar de origen. El lugar es maravilloso el servicio de uds malo, nadie se hizo responsable por el almuerzo ofrecido. En Puerto Natales ofrecen el mismo tour más económico en el mismo Grey III, hay operadores que…”

“Tuvimos un tour extraordinario, realmente fue de lujo el servicio. Con mucha propiedad (después de muchos tours por Chile y el mundo) es que el guia Jona ganó aplausos. Realmente tiene pasión por lo que hace, además de amable, atento y dedicarse al 1000% a su trabajo. Definitivamente valió todas las horas de viaje para visitar el glaciar grey con el catamarán (el que se acerca bastante al glaciar y a los icebergs) y recorrer dentro del parque de las torres del paine. Pudimos ver diferentes tipos de paisajes y lo mismo con los animales de la zona. Mi unico "pero" fue la ineficiencia al principio para poder agendar el…”
