Reviews

Fuimos con nuestros dos chicos para festejar el aniversario y el kayak en El Calafate terminó siendo un planazo. El traslado fue comodísimo: nos buscaron en una combi limpia, con sillitas para los niños y espacio para el equipo. La navegación entre témpanos fue tranquila y el guía estuvo atento. Por lo que cuesta, incluye bastante y ofrece una relación precio-calidad excelente. Volvimos cansados, felices y con fotos increíbles.

Kayak entre témpanos, traslado cómodo y aniversario familiar inolvidable

Booked this during our family trip and ended up joining the kayak group solo, which worked perfectly. The package felt fairly priced: hotel pickup, all gear, a safety briefing, and a short glacier-viewing trek were included, plus hot chocolate and alfajores afterward. Paddling quietly near the blue ice was the highlight; the guides kept things relaxed and genuinely helpful throughout.

Kayaking, glacier views, warm alfajores, and a surprisingly complete day out around El Calafate

Remar pelo Lago Argentino foi um dos pontos altos da minha viagem de verão. Como viajei sozinho, gostei muito da atenção na reserva: responderam minhas dúvidas pelo WhatsApp e ajustaram o horário porque meu ônibus chegava cedo. O guia Martín explicou como o vento desce do Cerro Calafate e indicou um pequeno paredão de gelo antes que aparecesse. A remada foi tranquila, com equipamentos bem cuidados e pausas para fotos. O grupo era pequeno, então deu para conversar e aprender sem pressa.

Caiaque tranquilo, paisagens enormes e guia atento

Für uns als Ehepaar war die Tour ihr Geld absolut wert: Die Abholung am Hotel in El Calafate kam pünktlich um 8:10 Uhr, und trotz kurzer Einweisung lief alles entspannt. Besonders schön waren die ruhigen Buchten mit Blick auf die Berge. Kajaks, Kleidung und Transfer waren gepflegt organisiert; der Preis wirkte angesichts der Betreuung und Dauer sehr fair.

Après une année de boulot intense, cette sortie en kayak m’a vraiment fait décrocher. La réservation s’est faite sans stress : l’équipe m’a répondu en français et a confirmé par WhatsApp l’heure exacte du transfert depuis mon hôtel. Notre guide, Martín, connaissait parfaitement le lac ; il nous a montré une petite crique abritée du vent et expliqué pourquoi les icebergs tournent près de la côte. Patient, attentif et plein d’humour, il a rendu la balade inoubliable.
