Great little tour - gives you a taste of the countryside with a nice walk through the Magallanes Reserve. Also gives you a great city overview, with all key sights included. We enjoyed the nature walk, appreciated the great commentary from Guide - Nicolas. Highly recommended

We really enjoyed our hike with our guide. The views were incredible, but the walk wasn’t the easiest. The tour of the city was very informative.

Punta Arenas Town and Forest Reserve Tour

Tom_H, Mar 2026

This is a nice tour around the Punta Arenas area. It includes a peaceful and informative hike through the beautiful forest preserve close to town (about 2 hours) and an informative tour through town. Our guide Nicolas was a very fun and amazing young man. A source of many local stories (Ghost & otherwise), and a learned study of local politics and history. We enjoyed the tour and the discussions with Nicolas very much. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a look at the local Punta Arenas area and some great talks about the local history!

Thank you so much for your comments!

Great tour of the area on a short amount of time.

DeirdreC_M, Feb 2026

The tour of Nicholas home in Puenta Arenas was very nice. Some confusion when we had to change from small group to private but didn’t mind paying $50 more at all. Didn’t care for the organizer tour agent demanding we get to their tour asap. We got #19 in a tender boat slip and had to explain over and over that we have NO control of when the ship starts tender operations or how many suite guest can get off before us. Communicated every moment of the way but she should understand we couldn’t go any faster. Anyway Nicholas and driver waiting for us as we came off the dock and away we went to the National Park. Nicholas was very informative and listen well to our needs. We picked a trail that older persons could manage very easily and he gave us a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna. The area was beautiful and offered great views back toward the city. We then drove around the area & town. We stopped where we wished for pictures then went to their huge cities cemetery and walked the area. All the time Nicolás explained their culture and values. He dropped us off in town where we requested & gave us instructions how to walk back to the ship. It was an enjoyable visit.

When you book this tour as a regular tour and there's no minimum number of people, you can make it private by paying the difference. Thank you for your feedback.

Very nice 4hr tour

Wayne_J, Mar 2025

Nicolas our guide was knowledgeable and excellent. Private tour for 4 after we got off the cruise ship. Went for a walk through the forest reserve with great sights and then city tour of all the highlights. Enjoyed the tour but was pricey, $650 for 4 persons and that didn’t include the $8pp Magellanes National Reserve entry fee or cemetary entry fee.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

This is the first time I've complained about the price of the tickets. This is a private tour, hence the price. But we also have the regular option, which is cheaper. You should have asked for the regular option. We offer both regular and private options. Thank you.

Pemiel_P, Mar 2025

Great tour. Very nice English speaking guide.

Quynh_N, Feb 2025

Excellent, friendly, personable tour guide named Nicolas. He is knowledgeable, flexible and accommodated to our every request. Highly recommended this tour even though Veronica the tour main representative sounded very rude in pre-tour communications. Might be because of translation gap.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Dear, Veronica is very kind. But I found a bad translation into English since she is not an English guide. Thank you for your comments

National Park and City Tour

Donald_E, Feb 2025

The tour includes time in the national park as well as a city tour. We had a driver, an overall guide and a person to direct us on the walk through the park. The park guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyed her work. Our guide Fafy was excellent and was very willing to modify the tour to accommodate our reqeusts.

A perfect guide and a beautiful hike

Barbara_H, Feb 2026

We had the perfect guide with Nicolas. He was able to tell many interesting stories about the past and present and accompanied us on a beautiful hike through the national park. In a small group of four it was a very successful trip from the ship. After that we could still see the city.

Würde ich sofort wieder machen 👍👍

Für Wander- und Naturliebhaber ist dieser Ausflug für zwei Erwachsene sehr empfehlenswert! Der Guide kennt sich gut im Gelände aus und ist sehr flexibel. Je nach Kundenwunsch wird die Zeit für die Wanderung oder die Stadt angepasst. Für drei Erwachsene ist es vielleicht ein bisschen eng im Auto, aber die Fahrstrecken sind nicht lang. Eintritt im Park und dem Friedhof kamen noch hinzu. Festes Schuhwerk und eine Trinkflasche sind empfehlenswert. Mückenschutz ggf. auch. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß mit unserem Guide und haben viele tolle Plätze gesehen!
