Amazing! - The day was great! The guides were wonderful and very informative. Kayaking and hiking was the perfect mix of activity. It was very fun and entertaining with lots of information mixed in. Pack an entire change of clothes though!

Great adventure - What a great day kayaking the river, hiking such interesting geology then kayaking again. Our guides were so friendly, knowledgeable and skilled, I felt very safe and enjoyed the whole experience. Advice: was very windy - bring a neck gaiter to hold on to your hat and expect to get wet.

Super recommended - The excursion combines kayaking with trekking seeing fossils and rock paintings and native engravings. It is bilingual and the kids are super attentive all the time. I was afraid of being cold due to the icy water or the wind but the neoprene equipment was more than enough to fully enjoy the experience. Clarification: neither navigation nor trekking required experience or were complicated. In our case (I went with my 16-year-old son) it was the first time we kayaked and we thoroughly enjoyed it I RECOMMEND IT 100%

It's worth the adventure! - A trip worth it for those who like an adventure! The team is very experienced and competent, and conducted the tour with great professionalism, always putting safety first. In our case, we had to interrupt the tour halfway due to weather conditions, and we still loved kayaking. In the end, the agency offered us a partial refund for not having completed the tour. I recommend the experience and the agency 😊

Amazing day! - Amazing day! We enjoyed the beautiful landscape up close with fantastic guides. It is a bit challenging, but manageable with a little effort, definitely worth it, and the guides are attentive to your needs. They will help you if you need it. They gave us full wet suits and shoes, so no worries about bringing the right gear. We loved it and definitely recommend!

Great day, great tour company - Incredible day out. The team are great, very knowledgeable very good guides spoke in english and Spanish. Really passionate about patagonia and showing you things you might not see on a standard tour. No kayaking experience necessary. Very safe and very enjoyable. Cannot recommend this trip enough if you are in El Calafate.

Incredible experience with excellent guides and people 🫶🏼 - It was a beautiful experience. You guide them with a remarkable vocation that excites you very much. We fill ourselves with knowledge. At all times they cared about each of the 10 participants and surprised us with snacks and beer. It is worth highlighting the equipment they provided us, which, without a doubt, makes the experience much more enjoyable. 1000 points!!!

Unforgettable kayak - I would like to leave my kindest thanks to the guide Frederick and the boys!!! Together with my partner we went for a kayak activity, but this exceeded our expectations. The guide made every effort to explain to us everything we were seeing, both in the river and on the walk. He took the time to answer questions and showed a lot of kindness, something you don't see a lot. We feel very safe at all times. The 2nd guide showed a very pleasant and energetic spirit!!! And the driver always respecting all times, speeds and viewpoints!! An unforgettable experience, thank you very much, we will return with you if we pass through Calafate again.

Great experience with good guides and a small group! - We were looking for a day long excursion on the more active side and this was PERFECT! The kayaking is spectacular, and while easy, it is definitely more engaged than paddling on a lake or walking along a boardwalk so we loved it. And the hike is beautiful and enriching as you learn about the geology of the area. The trip was perfectly managed and the guides were great. In addition to the paddling and hiking, the guides also provided lots of information about the area while driving to and from the river. Highly recommended.
