    Fascinating trip to Magdalena Island to observe penguins' habitats. The guides were outstanding with providing us background information.

    Excellent experience...

    Excellent experience seeing the penguins on the island. The tour operator had experienced staff who could explain interesting facts about visiting the island and penguins

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us !

    Starting time is checkin....

    Starting time is checkin. One hour before departing. Great service and staff is amazingly helpful. Please follow the protocols on the island. It protects the land species. Some tourists are idiots and should be kicked off.

    It's a must see when in Puenta Arenas. We had a wonderful experience. The boat was clean, very comfortable and efficiently run. The island is breathtaking. Our tour operator picked us up and dropped us up on time. The car was clean. Overall we are happy. Just wished that the tour agent would be more timely in communication or provide complete information once booking is confirmed. We spoke to another couple on the trip and they feel the same.

    Dear passenger Thank you for the good comments. About the communication you are right. It's just because we had a lot of cancelations in this tour so we can't confirm the tour and send information until the day before. Best VDSTours

    Unhappy

    We booked three days before the excursion. The night before, we received an email from their partner that the trip was canceled. No explanation as to the reason. They offered an alternate time which was unacceptable as we were on a cruise ship. They said they will refund our money. I’m still waiting.

    Dear passenger. The refund was required the same day of the tour through Viator. We are very sorry for cancelation, we are just reseller and depends of official tour company. unfortunately they cancel the day before without another explanation that we gave you.

    Fascinating trip
