If you love water and kayaking, this tour is a must. It was very well planned and safe. Our guide Ruben was fantastic! Kayaking down the Santa Cruz River is a whole new perspective of Patagonian nature and wildlife. And the food and hospitality: fantastic!
Highly highly recommend!

I enjoyed the kayaking and the beautiful surroundings along the Rio Santa Cruz. A tasty barbecue lunch provided a pleasant ending to the experience. The trip was organized and carried out expertly by the guide Ruben Valle.

Our guide (Ruben) was so great! This trip had more specialized gear than I anticipated, but it was so worth it! The water was beautiful, the day was perfect, and the instruction was wonderful. Plus once we got to the end, they had prepared the most beautiful lunch that was delicious! We couldn’t have been happier! (It’s quite a bumpy road heading home though!) :)
