“The boat was comfortable and calm. Short hike to waterfalls was pleasant. The only stop on the lake was to a hotel with a $30 lunch and $20 visit to a sort of petting zoo. I would have preferred more stops on the lake and more lunch options.”

“We had the best day of our trip so far! The river and its surrounds were lovely - clear, deep water as well as shallow parts with interesting flora, a steady current, beautiful surrounds and lots of birds to watch. Phillipe was a great guide with lots of info about the habitat and guidance about kayaking in this area. Between him and Steve the whole activity was a pleasure - really nice to chat with them at the end over pizza and a beer. Highly recommend this day trip.”

El servicio de transporte no tiene nada que ver con ello. Nuestro guia muy amable y nos fue explicando todo al paso que ibamos llegando al volcan.”

“We booked a small group of three private tour with William as our guide and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The itinerary was great and William whisk us away early to help us beat the big tour buses to the destination points. The volcano was amazing, the waterfalls were beautiful and the little town of Puerto Varese was exceptional. A little German town on the Shores of a magnificent lake with generations of history. I highly recommend this tour for anybody else who really wants to enjoy one day shore excursion in Puerto Montt.”
