There is not really a lot...

There is not really a lot of time spent or things to do on the two islands that you visit. The time on the lake is gorgeous, but I was disappointed in the two islands.

Bariloche: Boat Trip to Victoria Island and the Arrayanes Forest

Andrew_S, Apr 2023

Great trip despite initial problems

The boat tour to Isla Victoria and Arrayanes Forest was absolutely excellent. Location is out of this world. We had 2 stops on the journey, the first for about 45 minutes which gave us plenty of time to walk around the island Los Arrayanes. The second stop at Isla Victoria was 1 hour and three quarters. Plenty of time to discover the island or just sit and enjoy the beach as some did. Unfortunately someone forgot to complete our booking so when we arrived at the port at the start there was a lot of confusion which was solved by a very helpful guy from the boat tour company who sorted us out with tickets on the following boat. So what did not start well ended up being a very good experience.

Nice boat ride and hike on victoria island

Very nice excursion. We asked for the english speaking tour and our guide was great. There were only two of us on the hike on victoria Island. We had a 50 minute hike at a good pace and saw lots of the island The boat ride was comfortable. In the beginning it was a bit confusing when we got to the port. We were not sure which boat and how things were organized. A few minutes explanation while still on bus would eliminate any confusion. Definitely recommend.
