Best day ever - Seeing penguins, riding horses on the sand dunes to the Pacific Ocean and then galloping on the beach!! We then had an amazing lunch of vegetables rice steak and sausage cooked on a grill before us under some tall eucalyptus trees

Amazing way to experience Chile! - I cannot say enough great things about this adventure. Penguins, horseback riding, a tour of a ranch, and lunch with vino - absolute perfection. Terry and the Terraventura team took care of every detail. The trip is more like 8-10 hours, and it is full of adventure and activity. For the boat ride to Penguin island, it is not a large craft, so plan accordingly. It is so cool seeing the Humboldt penguins and their habitat. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Great experience - The tour was a great experience. Seeing penguins in the wild was probably one of the most spectacular things I have seen. Out tour guide, Terry, was great. He was very knowledgeable about the region. I would highly recommend the experience.

Chile visit - We had an outstanding experience with Terry. He picked up from our hotel. The car ride was great and very comfortable. The trip was tailored to our interests. We had a great tour of multiple sites. The highlight was the horseback riding. We had an excellent guide named Millary. She was outstanding. The whole experience was great and I highly recommend Terry and Millary.

Terry is amazing and the trip was sooo beautiful! - Terry was great and it was clearly important to him that we had a great day! The waves were too high to travel by boat so he took us to all the locations by land and I think we ended up with an even better experience because of this. The horse back riding was beautiful too! The dunes were really cool and we got to ride down by the ocean. Afterwards he grilled us up a meal that was amazing. We had such a good day with Terry that we asked him to take us somewhere else the next day.

What a great day! - We highly recommend this tour. Terry, our guide, made this a day we will never forget. We laughed, some of us cried, there was fun, food and booze. Beautiful scenery at very isolated locations - we did not see another tourist the entire time. Highly recommend, you will not regret it.
