Loved the penguin tour ate the best empanadas I’ve ever had in my life and enjoyed Valparaiso sightseeing - Lautaro was an amazing guide for our penguin experience. He’s spoke English very well was fun and kind. The penguins were hilarious in a little fishing boat and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We went to Valparaiso and had a wonderful picture on their sign then went to have empanadas at the most amazing restaurant called monkey or something. I highly recommended best empanadas I’ve ever had in my life! Highly recommend this tour, and this tour company, the car with air conditioned with seatbelts.

Penguins are so darn cute!! - Ok, so this tour (with any company) is on the expensive side, but still well worth it. Be sure whoever you book with that the boat to the island is included. You may be able to walk somewhere on the coastline where you could see them with a really good camera lens or binoculars, but it would not be nearly as good. The boat ride out itself is an experience and was quite choppy, which is not a problem for us but maybe someone else. Expect about 30 minutes out, 30 minutes or so around the island, and 30 minutes back. You should also be flexible since the boats can not go out every day due to weather (we shifted our a day at our guides suggestion due to the forecast which was a very good decision) Our guide's English was OK, but he did work to make it a great experience and it was.

The Perfect Day Trip - Terry took us on a leisurely drive to Zapallar which is a small, lovely town with a beautiful beach walk. We got to enjoy this beautiful area and then we boarded our small boat for a trip to Cachagua Island to see the Humbold Penguins. We had a chance to see the penguin nesting areas, the baby penguins and mamas guarding their nest from the vultures overhead. Terry was very knowledgable about the Chilean history throughout the trip We learned a lot and had a lovely time. After touring we stopped at a famous spot for empanadas. Yum. It was a perfect day trip.

Great coastal tour - We highly recommend this private tour to see nearby coastal towns and visit a protected penguin colony. Our guide Terry was knowledgeable, friendly, prompt and efficient. He even supplied binoculars during the private boat ride and took us to a lunch of great empanadas. I wish we were in Chile longer to try his horseback, kayaking and mountain biking tours!

Amazing Family Experience to Remember - My family and I had the BEST time on this tour with our guide Terry. He was very informative during the whole experience. We loved getting so close to the penguins. The empanadas were also great! Our whole family had an amazing time.

Great experience! - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Chile! It was my wife and I as well as our two sons, ages 14 & 11, as well as my son’s friend, also age 14. The waves were predicted to be too rough on day we originally had scheduled our tour. Fortunately, Waldo was able to reschedule our tour for the afternoon before as we were free and the waves were not so rough. Our tour guide was Esteban – a very kind and knowledgeable guide. He was very flexible and seemed to get joy from us having a nice experience:-) Transportation was solid to/from our Airbnb in Valparaiso. The boat was just big enough for our group of 5 plus our tour guide. It was so cool to see penguins for the first time in their natural environment! Our boat captain was Juan, who seemed very experienced. After our boat ride, we walked around areas where we saw cool plants, some of which we had never seen before as we are from the US. Though not deserted, we were surprised that our tour areas were not overcrowded with tourists, which was nice. On the way back, we stopped at a place where we had the best empanadas I’ve ever had! Highly recommended! Tip: we had two members of our party who sometimes get seasick. If this is you, I recommend taking some of the seasickness medication medication before you get on the boat. We are only on the boat about a 30 minutes.

Go see the penguins! - Terry was a great guide! Loved the empanadas and the penguins! I would highly recommend Terry and this tour.

Perfect Penguin Trip! - What an amazing adventure! We loved every minute. Our guide, Terry, was so knowledgeable and fun. We learned so much about Chile, it’s history, geology, the flora and fauna. Worth every penny . It should be on everyone’s “must do” list.

Great, Knowledgable Guide - Terry is personable, knowledgeable, and a great guide! My husband and I enjoyed the experience and would call him again for future trips.

Best tour guide ever. - The boat trip to Penguins Island was fabulous, this was a private tour for just my wife and I. The tour along the coast with lunch on the beach was great. The highlight of the trip was our tour guide Terry. We have been on many tours all over the world, but have never seen anyone as good as Terry. He did whatever was necessary to insure our experience was exceptional.
