Definitely worth it! - This is a brilliant day, certainly one of the highlights of our Patagonia trip!
Eduardo and his team are all very knowledgeable and helpful. The kayaking on a milky blue river was amazing. (They have all the kit you need). Eduardo is clearly passionate about the geology of the area and was brilliant with explanations of different features along the trek, particularly petrified trees and dinosaur fossils!
The snacks and cold beer were a lovely touch, and also the photos.
Don't hesitate, book it!

Super cool tour. Can recommend to anyone who can see themselves Kayaking :) - Amazing tour. Genuinely friendly and nice people. They took care of everything, brought many little comfort-things to the tour that we would never have thought off, and showed us SO MANY impressive things on the hike in the middle of the kayak tour.
Whatever you book here - you will not go wrong. Absolutely worth the price.

Superb day from start to finish! - Overall a fantastic activity! Frederico and his team were brilliant from start to finish. So informative and made sure everyone had a superb time, they made a real effort to have fun and for us the best kayaking activity we have ever done! A perfect activity for novices or those with more experience. Thanks again - Jack and Laura

Must see experience - Eduardo and Nadia are awesome! - We went on this tour a few weeks ago and it was the BEST. Eduardo and Nadia were so kind and really made sure we enjoyed the experience. The morning starts with getting picked up and a drive of about an hour to hour and a half. You then get off and get ready to kayak for about an hour - it was so much fun!! The views are STUNNING and La Leona river is pretty calm. You then break to go on a hike for about an hour and a half - the area is very hilly, having been formed through various geological eras where sea tides changed. It almost feels like you’re on the moon, and you get to see real dinosaur fossils! After lunch (which you must bring - if you’re at a hotel in El Calafate many will have an option to preorder a boxed lunch), you get back in the kayak for a little under an hour and then get back in the truck to head back. We left around 0715 and were back around 1600, so it’s a full day activity.
I cannot say enough good things about the tour - the guides were super knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable on the kayak, and they were so kind. Highly recommend this trip. We did the glacier too and this was the perfect activity to get a different experience in Patagonia!

Do not miss out on this trip. It is unique. - It was a privilege to be able to walk in the prehistoric hills as part of this tour, seeing petrified trees and fossilised dinosaur bones. Something I will never forget.
The kayaking was fun. A bit cold on an Oct morning, but so worth it.
Eduardo and Isabella were brilliant guides and we learnt so much.
Highly recommend

Excellent excursion by people who know - Amazing excursion. The activity lasts all day and can be conveniently achieved by combining kayaking and trekking. It was amazing to find cougar prints, marine debris, volcanic lava, a petrified tree trunk and even fossilized dinosaur bones. The Guide accompanied with knowledge of the area, its natural environment and its history, in a super pleasant way and with support throughout the activity which generated security for me at all times. Excellent opportunity to get into nature in good hands and with good equipment to not be cold. Super recommended and fun. Thank you so much!

An obligatory experience when visiting El Calafate. - An obligatory experience when visiting El Calafate.
The activity has the right measure of rowing, trekking, adventure, nature and history.
The guides are very friendly and professional. They know a lot about the history and nature of the place.
For me, it is a very interesting activity to do if you want to experience the region.
