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!

I took a very informative hike with Manuel. The day was very, very windy and he suggested an alternate hike that was safer. I am glad that he did as I had heard from hikers earlier that with high winds the original route could get dangerous. We hiked through the forest and Manual knew the horticulture and the history of the area and this made the hike very special. We did hike to the top of the hill and stood in the wind and surveyed the mountains surrounding Punta Arenas. After the hike we had a wonderful lunch at one of the local restaurants that I might not have ordered for myself but was very good. A very enjoyable day.

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.

We were disappointed that our ship was not able to dock, and therefore we were unable to do the hike. However, this company maintained good communication through the whole process and promptly refunded our money. Hoping to use them again if the opportunity presents itself!

It was a beautiful and varied hike through the Patagonian forest. Our extremely charming and competent hiking guide entertained us with little anecdotes and conveyed many interesting facts about the different ecosystems. In a relaxed atmosphere we walked through the forest where we learned a lot about the different mushrooms and other plants. At the end we had local specialities which were really delicious. And I was lucky: although I hadn't announced it, there was a gluten-free version for me. Altogether a nice excursion, especially because of the nice hiking guide.
