Great experience!!! - wonderful experience! all the way you pass through extremely beautiful seaside towns and there are some spectacular views of the ocean. We had the opportunity to try paragliding, sand dune boarding and to eat the most delicious empanadas. All of this accompanied with the wonderful company of Jimmy.

Jimmy's tours are a MUST-DO! - ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!! I don't even know where to start! The tour was absolutely fantastic!!! In the course of one day, I saw a lot of central Chile (eg from Santiago to Valparaiso to viña to zapallar and everything in between). We saw the local fish market and sea lions then headed north to see sea otters, a dolphin and a handful of penguins. Lunch was delicious and I even went paragliding before heading out to go sand boarding. What an action packed day!!! Maybe even more importantly, Jimmy is simply AMAZING!!! The BEST. My phone was stolen out of my hands in Santiago 12 hr before the trip started (and 12 hr after landing in Chile). It was super stressful (as I didn't know most #s - including Jimmy's - and was locked out of all accounts due to "suspicious logins" in Chile). Jimmy took me to the mall to help me get a cheap temporary phone as soon as it opened!!! He could not have been nicer or more gracious. He is amazing - and his tour company is as well!!! 1000000% recommended!!!! You won't regret it!

Amazing day! Worth the price! - I had an amazing time with Jimmy! I was nervous when he said that no one else had signed up for my day but he kindly took me anyways!! It was such a beautiful day and it was so great to see the penguins, go paragliding, and try sandboarding! The penguins were very cute! I'd 100% recommend!!

10/10 Amazing Day Trip with Jimmy - The expedition we booked with Jimmy exceeded all of our expectations! Even before the excursion itself, Jimmy was prompt and professional in terms of scheduling, payment, and communication. Our day started with Jimmy picking us up in his comfortable and spacious passenger van right from our hotel. From there, he drove us to beautiful Zapallar for our penguin viewing. A boat was waiting for us to take us to the penguin island where we saw tons of penguins, sea otters, and even sea lions! From there we drove further down the coast for what was by far the best meal of our entire week in Chile. I don’t know how Jimmy found the place, but the empanadas he served us (along with homemade salsa, snacks, and Chilean desserts) were out of this world. We had our little picnic overlooking the ocean and enjoyed every second. Next up was our amazing sand boarding experience. Jimmy drove us to another beach town where he took us to a HUGE sand dune and taught us how to sand board. None of us had even been skiing or snowboarding before but Jimmy was very patient in teaching us. We were cruising down the sand dune in no time. On top of all this, the scenes we saw on our road trip gave us a much greater appreciation for the natural beauty and diversity of Chile, something we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. All in all, an absolutely amazing experience with an amazing guide! Jimmy knows his stuff and will make sure you’ll have a once in a lifetime experience in Chile.

Best tour of the trip - Absolutely everything was great. The boat got quite close to the penguins though I did zoom in on my iPhone for the photos. I loved paragliding and they were the best empanadas, the best pisco sour, and the best tour of our trip! Full disclosure, we all chose to skip the sand boarding because none of us were that athletic, the rest of the tour in Valparaiso and c Viña Del Mar just left us wanting more, so we booked Jimmy for another tour there! Great experience!

Penguins, picturesque views, empanadas and sand boarding, a wonderful introduction to the seaside in Chile! - This is an exciting tour worth the money. Jimmy, our guide took wonderful care of us. The views are spectacular, sand boarding was really fun to learn. Lunch was delicious and so was the homemade Pisco! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Best tour of my South-America trip - Yesterday I did a tour with Go Penguins and it was so f****ing great! We went to see penguins, sea lions, did sand boarding and saw so many beautiful places! The guide, Jimmy, is amazing and he just gave us the best day possible. If you are around, please treat yourself to this tour! I dont usually write long reviews but the reason I'm sharing this, is because a friend recommended it to me and I want to spread the word haha. If I would have stayed longer i would have booked one of the other tours as well! Thank you so much Jimmy! 😊

Great day - Seeing penguins was on our bucket list. We had an amazing day. After a few hours’ drive where we learned about local attractions, history, and other stuff, we saw not only penguins with their baby penguins, but also pelicans, sea lions, and dolphins – captivating view! Authentically served empanadas for lunch and attractions on the way back were an unexpected bonus. Simona, Jimmy, Liliana – thank you so much, we loved it!
