An absolutely wonderful day… Hiking in a beautiful forest with our guide, Jamie, and a small group, ending with a wonderful picnic and beautiful view! I would highly recommend this adventure for anyone. The hike was a perfect length and never too strenuous! Jamie was a delightful guide!

One of a kind hiking experience.

David_M, Dec 2024

This was the best hike tour I've ever been on. Not only were Manny and Jamie so incredibly amiable and knowledgeable - they were caring and attentive as well. Don't forget to ask them how they met, it's a story as lovely as the hike. Can't thank them enough for the wonderful experience!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much for your kind review, and for hiking in Punta Arenas with us! We both had so much fun spending time with you. Safe travels on your adventures, and we hope to see you in Patagonia again one day!

Private 4 hour Patagonia hike

Linda_M, Feb 2024

Jamie was waiting for me at the cruise port with a sign. She informed me that I had booked a private guided hike which was news to me. So happy that it was but in looking over the booking, the word “private” is not in there. I was not disappointed that it was a private tour but pointing it out so Jamie knows. I think more people would book her tour if they knew it was private. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Jamie is warm, friendly, knowledgeable and a very positive person. She supported me throughout the hike and made me happy. Her background in biology and birds and her love of nature were other pluses. We engaged in forest bathing and were blessed with a wonderful peaceful experience. So much better than the 2 large buses that we met coming in on our way out. She came equipped with walking sticks and wonderful local snacks. After a hike, Jamie brought me to a wonderful local restaurant were I experienced local seafood and pisco sour! I haven’t received my photos that Jamie took but I am hopeful that she will find me and send them. They would be a wonderful additional memory of my great day in the Patagonia forest!

Great day hiking in Patagonian Forest

Stuart_B, Feb 2024

First rate organisation. We were met as we passed through security at the dock. A very friendly welcome and introduction and soon on our way to the starting point for the hike. Expert, friendly guide who assessed our walking ability and sensibly clothing was suitable for a more challenging walk. Very informative, safe and enjoyable throughout. After the walk we were taken to a local restaurant for a very enjoyable meal with drinks. Super time - strongly recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

I want to say thank you so much for your support and great words which meant a lot to us. Happy to guide you and hope so you have an amazing year and time at home and in your next adventures. Big hugs from Punta Arenas Patagonia Chile Manuel

Magical beauty

James_G, Mar 2020

Well organized tour with Jamie. Originally from Canada English of course was great.She was very knowledgeable about flora and area and history. I had a bad knee and was able to keep up with use of trekking pole. Lovely sandwich, drink and treat when we finished. One other couple with us and was taken by van to gangplank.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Thank you so much for your kind review- we really appreciate it! I am so glad that you were able to enjoy our hike despite your knee giving you trouble (those trekking poles are so handy- that's why we love 'em!) and that you had fun on our experience. I hope that your legs are feeling better and that you have the best time on the rest of your travels here in South America! All the best!

Tour operator was excellent but the forest is average

jeanelverton, Feb 2020

The tour was late due to some guests cruise was late, so we had to rush because we had a cruise to catch after the hike. The tour operator did everything to help us to get back in time so we appreciate the effort and the communication was excellent. However, the forest was not the most interesting, good exercise and that's it.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Une belle ballade en forêt de Patagonie

veraserge, Feb 2020

Une très belle randonnée loin des habituels sites touristiques. La nature était magnifique. Notre guide passionné et très pédagogue. Un seul bémol concernant le repas. Trop frugal quand on fait tous ces efforts. Vivement recommandé tout de même.
