What people are saying about Patagonia, Chile

A seamless experience with a very efficient company & crew. The commentator is very informative in English as well as Spanish, the coastline is uniquely beautiful and the wildlife is abundant. Whales, sea lions, penguins and birds all around. Bring a handful of your own special snacks, enjoy the trip!

Well- organized, beautiful boat trip! Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable crew staff! They know where to find animals, tried to get to them as close as possible and let us take great pictures. Thank you so much for the unforgettable trip!

Had a really great time. Saw loads of whales, the beautiful glacier and met some very nice people. Food not amazing, but it did the job.

I recommend. Our eyes are charmed all day by whales and also sea lions, albatrosses... We are not bored. A real treat

A really great tour. Totally worth the money and getting up early!
