Amazing day trip from Santiago

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Chile! Seeing a penguin in the wild, another item checked off the bucket list! Jimmy is a great guide and took care of every single detail. The Chilean picnic was delicious and great way to start paragliding. If you’re in Santiago and want a day that combines wildlife, adventure, and amazing Chilean food, this tour is 100% worth it!
Meet the penguins, go para sailing, and sand boarding… all in the same day!

5.00What a day!!!! Jimmy the driver/company owner is a really cool guy. Speaks great English! We meet the penguins!!!! Absolutely brilliant! The cutest little creatures on earth! And what a beautiful beach/waterfront area. Spent the whole day looking at the ocean! Had a great time para sailing… once in a lifetime experience! From there we went sand boarding! We ski a lot so this came quite naturally to us. What a great time! Sit back and enjoy, Jimmy will handle everything!
Amazing Experience!!

5.00An amazing and unforgettable experience. We were deeply shocked and in love with Chile. Jimmy and Nicole received us with such kindness, and Jimmy is an exceptional guide: funny, close and with impressive knowledge. He takes the time to explain every interesting corner of the city, sharing details that we would never discover on our own. The penguins were adorable and the boat ride, an adventure full of joy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, ideal for those visiting Chile for the first time and looking for a safe and welcoming space to enjoy its landscapes and charms.
Nature, coastal views, and extreme sports

5.00This was one of the most fun tours we've ever been on. Jimmy was very cool and calm. The trip to see the penguins was beautiful as we got to see a varied coastal landscape that gave us a unique slice of Chile both in the car and on the boat. We were initially a bit scared and intimidated by the sandboarding but he was a great teacher. He also found us a delicious empanada spot, and provided a lovely picnic with some great snacks and wines. Paragliding was an exhilarating experience and it was the perfect setting to try it.
Penguins and Empanadas

5.00We had the opportunity to travel with Jimmy — an excellent person and a highly professional guide. His knowledge of the city and its history is outstanding, and he is a great storyteller. He took us to exceptional locations where we were able to photograph Chilean wildlife, including Humboldt penguins, sea lions, and pelicans. The tour was very well organized in terms of timing, and the gastronomic experience was excellent.
A fantastic day exploring...

5.00A fantastic day exploring wildlife and adventure. Seeing the penguins and sea lions up close was an unforgettable experience, and the sand dunes were incredible (albeit very hot)—sand boarding was so much fun and a real highlight. Unfortunately, we missed out on paragliding due to the weather, which was disappointing, but overall it was still an amazing and memorable excursion.
Amazing team with well planned events

5.00At first I thought this was just a penguin watching activity, to my surprise there was an option to try paragliding(paid) and sandboarding (free) as well during the day. Team organizing the events were very kind. social, made home cooked food extras for us as well. It was a long day but so much worth it for the 3 unique experiences it covers and well justified the price point. Penguins were super adorable and the highlight of my trip.
So much to see!

5.00What an awesome adventure! On this tour, you get to see and do a lot of various things! We started out in a local fisherman's market and got to see Sea Lions. From here, we left and went on a boat to see penguins. There were many to see among different birds. Additionally, we got some yummy empanadas for lunch and had the chance to go Paragliding. I was lucky enough to do it with a professional on Chile's Red Bull team! This was the highlight for me! I asked him to do some tricks, and he did! It was so fun! Afterwards we did the sand boarding which was a cool experience and super picturesque. Thank you for all the various activities Jimmy and Jay!
Perfectly Planned, Full of Adventure — Highly Recommend!

5.00We had an amazing day on this tour with Jimmy and Jay! With a small group of just five, everything felt personal and well organized. Jimmy planned every detail perfectly—we saw penguins up close from the boat, watched sea lions, went paragliding (extra cost, as noted, but totally worth it), and even tried sandboarding, which was so much fun. Jay was wonderful—super helpful throughout the whole day and always there to support Jimmy and the group. As a world traveler, she brought great energy and made the experience even better. Jimmy treated us to delicious empanadas and even surprised us with Chilean magnets at the end. Both Jimmy and Jay are professional, caring, and incredibly fun guides. I highly recommend this tour if you want a full day of adventure, nature, and great memories.
