Best day in Chile! - My husband wasn't super excited for this, he thought it would be a lot of car time to see penguins for a few minutes. However this turned out to be his favorite thing on our trip to Chile! We loved the guides, they were the right amount of friendly / chatty and helped us to really enjoy the day. The boat ride itself was great, fantastic views of the coast, seeing the penguins and otters was really enjoyable. We were then taken to grab delicious empanadas for lunch which we ate at picnic tables watching the paragliding school. We were both interested enough that we signed up for paragliding and it was so enjoyable! I'm afraid of heights but felt really comfortable with the instructor and was so happy to have experienced paragliding with the ocean right there. On the way back we stop for sandboarding, super fun and harder (at least for me than it looks)! The whole time we hung out with our guides, it really just felt like we had friends showing us around. It was such a great day, we would highly recommend this tour!

Penguinos - Jimmy was a great guide. Only 3 people on this tour so it was extra nice. Comfortable transportation. Jimmy was super nice, had lots of information about where we went and the empanadas for lunch were unbelievably good. And we saw penguins! Very end of the season, so we only saw maybe 30-40, but 1 was enough. The boat ride was great too. Sand dunes sliding too. Great time!

It exceeded our expectations. - Excellent everything, Jimmy a genius, passed us looking for the apartment and brought us back, very friendly and giving the right data about the places we visited, we started going to see the penguins, then a very rich lunch of empanadas, the paragliding that was a good addition (charged apart) and the sandboard was very fun. I recommend it 100%, with my wife we were delighted, I do not put more stars because you can not.

Visit penguins - What an amazing tour. Our tour guide Jimmy and his colleague Larissa did a very good job. First we saw sea lions, than penguins, we had a nice boat ride, we had the best Empanades I ever tried so far at a very unique place. At the end we also did sand boarding which was a lot of fun. It was a really great day. A big thank you to Jimmy and Larissa it was just amazing!

A tasting menu - We traveled through several spas in the area, with incredible landscapes and each one with its own attraction. The guide is a local, a fan of Valparaíso, who knows and has a strong will to overcome any unforeseen event that may arise in order to provide a quality experience to the client and no less (we went at the end of the season and we had bad weather that day) Everything was excellent, the empanadas, the views, the contact with the fauna. The pearl: sandboarding. Even if you don't participate, it's a lot of fun! More than recommended. Includes pisco sour and pebre recipe!

Penguins and sand boarding - Jimmy is an excellent & friendly guide, who picked us up on time, took us to see sea lions at the fish market, boat tour to see the penguins, tour of the towns along the way, empanada lunch at the paragliding training center, then off to the Con Con dunes for sand boarding. We had so much fun & education. We highly recommend this tour!

Sea lions and penguins - Great opportunity to see penguins and sea lions in the northern part of the country. Most Chileans don’t even know there is an island protected for penguins so it’s a pretty unique excursion. Finished the tour with delicious empanadas and wine.

Jimmy was an excellent... - Jimmy was an excellent guide. The experiences were unique, and the food was delicious. If you are afraid of the ocean this might not be right for you, as traveling to the penguins is in a small open boat. Sand dune surfing is a great experience for everyone. Bring a wind breaker for the boat ride and flip flops for the dunes. Comfortable clothes that dry quick in case you get wet on the boat ride.
