Friendly awesome guides, fascinating area - highly recommend - This was an awesome trip - the guides were fantastic and oozed confidence which helped those us who were a little nervous! They were also very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, full of fun and interesting info. This area is less touristy so we had the place to ourselves and felt as though we were on a different planet. We all loved it!

Wonderful tour! - This was a wonderful day. Tour was well organized and staff were kind and helpful. Really fun day of kayaking, but the truly best part for me was the Petrified Forest! Saw so many interesting petrified and fossilized things and many wonderful views!

Unique experience - After a tranquil kayak downriver we stopped to hike in a private reserve with fossilized trees and dinosaur bones just there waiting to be discovered. The silence was amazing and the terrain incredible. The team had great energy and knowledge of the area and we wish them every success. A great day trip and truly a unique experience.

Awesome tour - Really awesome tour. Freddy and Sebastian went above and beyond. The kayak and gear they provided was awesome, the ride was a good distance and the hike was great. Freddy was super knowledgeable and taught me so so much about the area.

Adventure - For those who like adventure is good. The staff is well trained and well equipped and very friendly. The river is more or less quiet, but we feel quite safe.

Relaxing, educational and great way to see patagonian landscape from a different side rather than mountains and glaciars - Great experience, it was just my friend and me and the guide which made it really relaxing. Guide knew a lot of info as about environment, plants, history in the region and so on.. kayaking is quite simple and easy but we made 2 stops on the way for a hike which stretched the day. Recommend doing it when its sunny ofcourse!
Only comment is its quite expensive but hey thats Argentina for you these days.

Amazing experience, must do in El Calafate! - Great experience in all of its parts! Besides the kayak experience which is by itself worth the cost, the guides are super prepared with all sorts of facts and information about the area’s flora, fauna, history and tradition. The hike in between is an open air museum visit and has been such a pleasant surprise. The staff is amazing and super friendly, can definitely recommend! Also pick up and drop off service at your place/hostel works smoothly. Thanks Eduardo, Sebastian y Martin!
