Tour time was 8:00 but we left the parking area at 9:15! Not a good start. Tour was good and we enjoyed seeing the fort.

A must in Punta Arena to see history of the area and wonderful views.

A worthwhile trip along the straight of Magellan to a reconstructed fort of the 1st Chilean settlement in Patagonia on top of hill with an awesome view.

Fantastic

The tour guide, Romina, was very sweet and waited for us to get off the ship. Tendering was very backed up. She gave lots of information along the way and answered our questions at the Fort. We even stopped along the ride back at an amazing flower field.

Tour Guide Nico is Excellent!

We took this tour as a shore excursion on our HAL cruise. The tour got off to a rough start because Yellow Penguin told all of us it (5 of 6 couples) started at 8, but told the tour guides that it was at 9 and to arrive at 8:30. We were looking all around for our guide at 8 am. Once we found the guide, we had to wait around until 8:45 until they had located the one couple they thought had been told 9. We finally left about 8:45 am. Nonetheless, it was an excellent tour. There were 12 of us, picked up in a comfortable Sprinter van. Our tour guide Nico was excellent. He works as a ranger at the Fort Bulnes property 4 days a week and does tours on the side. He was passionate and very knowledgeable about the history and the natural environment. There was another small tour that met us later from Yellow Penguin and their guide was equally enthusiastic and attentive. We were fortunate to have a clear day. Even with the sun out, I was glad to have my down jacket. Dress in layers and very warm if the weather is poor. The ride to the Fort is along the coastline and a beautiful ride. Fort Bulnes is very interesting historically and located on a breathtakingly beautiful property with incredible views. After touring the Fort, we walked along the coastline trail down by the water, saw dolphins, birds, views, etc. I saw some HAL buses and I don’t think they bought guests down the coastal trail. Fort Bulnes has a nice gift shop with quality products and a restaurant/ coffee shop where we enjoyed pizza and coffee. Giving this a 4/5 due to the communication from the Yellow Penguin, which operates tours in several countries and should be able to do a better job. The tour itself and the guides were a 5 out of 5!

Experiencia muy recomendable

Altamente recomendable!!

Rossana_M, Apr 2025

Esta excursión fue una experiencia inolvidable. Nuestro guía fue increíblemente amable y conocedor, brindándonos una visión profunda de la historia de Fuerte Bulnes. El recorrido por el fuerte, con sus barracas, capilla y cárcel, nos transportó al pasado de Chile. Además, las vistas del Estrecho de Magallanes eran simplemente impresionantes. Tuvimos la suerte de ver delfines y ballenas durante el viaje ...Altamente recomendado!

La excursión a Fuerte Bulnes fue simplemente espectacular. A pesar de los cambios de horario del crucero, el equipo nos estaba esperando puntualmente para comenzar el tour y en todo momento estuvieron en contacto con nosotros. Los paisajes de la costa patagónica, con sus acantilados y praderas, eran impresionantes en cada parada. Nuestro guía demostró un conocimiento profundo de la geografía y la cultura de la región, respondiendo a todas nuestras preguntas con pasión y claridad. Además, viajamos en mini vans espaciosas y con asientos muy cómodos, lo que hizo el trayecto aún más placentero. ¡Una experiencia de primer nivel!

Más que un tour, una aventura compartida

Tuvimos una experiencia inolvidable con el CityTour al Fuerte Bulnes junto a Yellow Penguin. Desde el primer momento se notó la dedicación y el profesionalismo del equipo: cada detalle estuvo perfectamente cuidado, desde la puntualidad y la comodidad del transporte, hasta las explicaciones claras y entretenidas que hicieron del recorrido algo realmente especial. El tour estuvo muy bien organizado, con paradas pensadas para disfrutar tanto del paisaje como de la historia del lugar. El Fuerte Bulnes es un sitio lleno de significado y nuestro guía Harold supo transmitir su valor de una forma cercana, apasionada y amena. Además, se notó el compromiso con el bienestar del grupo durante todo el trayecto, lo cual hizo que las horas compartidas fueran aún más agradables. Realmente se sintió como una experiencia pensada para disfrutar en comunidad, con un equipo humano cálido, profesional y atento a cada necesidad. Gracias Yellow Penguin por este hermoso recuerdo. ¡Súper recomendable!
