What are people saying about Victoria Island (Isla Victoria)

Victoria Island and Arrayanes Forest

Holly_H, Mar 2026

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.

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.
