    The boat trip gives for some some amazing pictures, including seagulls presenting themselves. Do keep in mind while on the lake it is remarquably colder than on shore. The island is amazing and also the forest is otherwordly.

    It's a wonderful world!

    Patricia_O, Mar 2026
    I love this tour. It was in Spanish and English and Spanish was the dominant language on the tour. But the guide was very good at taking us aside as English speakers and explaining what we should do and also giving us more information about the landscape of things. We got our pickup on time we got our drop off on time the boat rides were was great and the venue was wonderful and just a very beautiful Island I would do it again and I recommend that you do it too.

    Jamie_R, Feb 2026
    There were a variety of boats, some newer and some older. You don’t know which one is yours til it’s time to bard. We were on an older boat with wood finishes- very comfortable with character. Everything was bilingual, and the “hostess” was very helpful when our ticket was incorrect. The ride was relaxing (even though weather was a bit rainy and windy), and walking around the parks was enjoyable ( you can take a tour on Victoria Island or roam on your own. ) A nice way to spend an afternoon.

    Rip-off

    Daniel_S, Feb 2026
    DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR WITH VIATOR! Go to the port and purchase a ticket directly for less than half the price. Additionally, the extra fees stated are about half of what they actu!ly are.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. Before booking, all travelers are free to research and purchase their tours through any channel they prefer. No one is required to book with us. Please note that prices offered through online platforms include commission fees, marketing and operational costs charged by those platforms. For this reason, it is normal that the price differs from purchasing directly at the port. All prices and additional charges are clearly displayed on the booking page before payment, and by completing the reservation, customers confirm that they have reviewed and accepted these conditions. We always aim to be transparent and provide accurate information so guests can make an informed decision before booking. Thanks. Guido

    Overcharge for english speakers and then nothing said in english

    Stella_X, Jan 2026
    Amazing boat ride but for $480 for 2 people seems crazy. It's a giant ferry that takes you to 2 islands drops you off then picks you up. There's NO explanation of what it is on the bus for english speakers. There's an machine that talks about it on the ferry. THEY CHARGE WAY FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS THAN SPANISH. JUST PICK THE SPANISH TICKET EVEN IF YOU'RE ENGLISH SPEAKER, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the boat ride. We’d like to clarify that, as clearly stated in the tour description, this experience includes an audio guide, not a live English-speaking guide. A live guide in English is available as an optional service with an additional cost, which was offered at the time of booking and declined. There is no difference in the tour itself between Spanish or English tickets; price differences only apply when optional services are added. We always recommend carefully reading the tour details before booking to ensure expectations align with the experience. Best regards. Guido

    While the area was...

    Selina_M, Oct 2025
    While the area was amazing with incredible scenery, if you request an English guide, you don’t really get one. There are a couple of pre recorded translations in English on the boat but that is it. No explanations or times to return to the boat or anything like that provided in English which made the logistics very confusing, especially the initial part of getting on the boat.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hello! Before booking, it would be a good idea to read the publication carefully to avoid any confusion! We take the time to explain in detail what the tour is like, what it includes and what it doesn't... and you can't even take two minutes to read what it includes and what it doesn't!

    Amazing!

    Carlos_B, Aug 2025
    The lake, the surrounding mountains and the crossing in such a historic vessel is amazing. The arrayanes forest is interesting but simple. The trip as a whole qualifies top.

    Our experience

    shelly_s, Apr 2025
    The views were incredeable. We bookd an English toor, but in reality no one from the stuff spoke English and there were only some recordings in English. If someone wants to buy an English tour, make sure you are really getyinh one.

    You would be better off just booking directly with with boat companies.

    Farrah_R, Jan 2025
    The excursion was fine. However, the driver who provided transportation to the port just dropped everyone off and left. He did not explain where we needed to go and what to do to board the boat. This created unnecessary stress for the English speakers as we were scrambling to figure which boat we needed to get on. The confusion could have been easily avoided if he has just taken a few minutes to explain the process. Also, there are only two boat companies that provide the excursion. You would better off just booking directly with them.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Friend unfortunately the lack of coordination is because they do not pay attention to the guides, and that's when they write to us by whatsapp asking place and time of meeting! The guides are there for a reason. Pay attention!

    Victoria island tour

    Pervin_S, Jan 2025
    The forest was wonderful. Victoria island was ok. To get the boat was a bit confusing. Probably because the driver did not give us instructions in English at Porto punhelo. If you have time, I recommend the tour. But Cerro Tronador was way better.

    English/spanish translations

    Elizabeth_M, Nov 2024
    The boat ride was inclusive and had English and Spanish translations, but when we got to Victoria Island, I was not able to understand anything being explained because the guide only knew Spanish.

    Underwhelmed

    andrea_h, Nov 2024
    The views from the boat were fantastic but the arrayanes forest very underwhelmed, most of then are dead or very small. Not worth it and expensive

    Nice tour

    Monica_M, Nov 2025
    Nice tour to Arrayanes Forest and Victoria Island. The explanation on the Guide Island enriches the tour. Just a little sprinted the tour in the Arrayanes Forest, it would be worth giving you about 10 more minutes. But it was worth enjoying the scenery.

    Mauricio_F, Sep 2024
    La entrada al parque ya debería estar incluida en n el precio. Y deberían tener una sucursal en San Carlos - Bariloche, me parece mucho que te cobren 100.000 pesos de impuestos cuando estoy operando dentro del país!!!

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Hola Mauricio, no entendemos bien tu comentario. Quien te cobra los impuestos, es tu medio de pago argentino, no nosotros!! Deberias saber que al comprar o pagar en una divisa extranjera, argentina cobra impuestos. Incluso esta en las informaciones de la publicacion. Te sugerimos leer bien la proxima, antes de ofertar, y dejar comentarios pateticos como el que estas haciendo. Saludos, Guido

    Hermoso paseo
