Chiloe Island, penguins and otters! - Wakeen, our guide was excellent. He went between Spanish and English flawlessly all day long. He was attentive to our needs and taught us about the culture, customs and history. The penguin excursion was a success with us seeing penguins and a bonus otter! Great trip! Thank you, mucho gracias!

Penguins are a must - It was a great and very informative trip. Ingrid is super knowledgeable guide - she probably knows all the birds in that island and Orland is a super careful driver. Penguins are super great part of the trip. And churches … yes in case of any doubts Ingrid would tell you all you need to know. Fantastic experience. Our kids loved it!

Great tour worth every dollar! - Very good tour, our guide took us to Chiloe island. It started raining we took a scenic route to Andy’s. There we toured a church and a museum. The penguin tour got cancelled but we still went to the beach where we take the boat to see the Penguins and there on the rocks we did see many of them. Overall both the guide and the driver showed us a great time despite the bad weather. Thanks so much!

Great tour with awesome Guides - Thank you,muchas gracias, to our tourguides Pablo and Oscar, who made this great tour even better. We had luck with the weather, we saw many penguins for that time of the year and we had tourguides, that enriched our experience with their great knowledge as well as their funny and sympathetic manner. Thanks for this great experience.

An experience - Chiloe Island is off the coast of the mainland about 15 miles. The island is HUGE at 90 miles long and 45 miles wide. Once on the island all the features of the mainland with town / farm / businesses, make you think you are on the mainland. We observe a lot of the wildlife existing way south on the content. There, we board small boats via a loading contraption (keep our feet dry) to a boat located just off the beach
