Incredible rafting experience - Incredible experience rafting on the rio de las vueltas. The guides were professional and highly skilled. They provided all the necessary equipment to keep us warm. They also brought good jovial energy to make the journey fun and explained the different landmarks as we navigated down the valley. We saw the fitz roy from the river as well as condors soaring in the skies! They also give you photos and videos after the trip. I think this makes a good introduction to rafting if it is your first time.

Amazing rafting experience in El Chalten - I had an amazing rafting experience in Patagonia! Even with the bad weather, it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The staff was super nice, funny, and made everyone feel safe and excited from start to finish. This activity is truly a must-do in El Chaltén — unforgettable scenery, great atmosphere, and an incredible team. Absolutely recommended!

What a wonderful day out - What a wonderful experience, organised by a very professional team. They had all the gear that was required to keep you both warm and safe , top quality stuff as well (Mares). From the moment we started to get changed into the rafting gear I knew the day was going to be special. I am not an experienced rafter but have rafted in allot of the big named places (Zambezi, Colorado River, Nepal, Costa Rica, Tully River Australia) and the scenery on the Rio de las Vueltas was equal to any of it. A very professional crew and a very fun day. Keep up the good work Comarka rafting and all the best to you 😊

Bad experience - On Friday we went with you to the rafting at 10:00 am, (4 people) Being inexperienced in the topic of the weather we asked 3 times if the activity was done, since the weather was terrible, to which we were told that yes. We are reckless that we have come to this activity with the climatic conditions already existing before the activity. The letter of consent was signed in recognition of the dangers posed by rafting. But not even that we did, we will have been in the raft about 5-10 minutes at most. The rest of us had to climb, climb and dodge things that I don't think are part of their activity, it was more than dangerous. 3 guides for 14 people. Both they and we were hurt. At no point did we do what was said, which was to navigate some fast, or whatever. A raft was struck, we were CANCELLED right there because of the same thing that was in unsafe conditions. We request a refund and have not even been answered
