5.00Unforgettable kayak ride through dreamy landscapes. A unique learning about flora, fauna, history and many other details provided by the Mariano guide, who demonstrates a deep knowledge of the area and Patagonia in general. A connection experience with nature highly recommended. And, as a color detail (and no less), an excellent picnic in an incomparable setting. Eternally grateful for the experience, dear Mariano.
Amazing multiday and kayaking trip

5.00I did a multiday trip with Dalca Adventures and it was amazing! We crossed the Nahuel Huapi Lake by boat and camped at a local campground. The next day, we hiked to a very cosy refugio that isn’t known by most tourists 😁 The whole experience was unforgettable! Mariano is a very knowledgeable guide with a lot of expertise in trekking, plants, trees, and wildlife, as well as the local area and its history. I also did a kayaking trip, which was very well organized. The colours of the lake are indescribable! I would 100% recommend booking a trip with Dalca Adventures! 🤗
An amazing adventure

5.00An amazing and unforgettable experience. Mariano, our guide, with all the good vibes, made us feel super safe while enjoying a spectacular day. Contact us from the day before making adjustments to our departure, to make sure the weather is ideal. And it was. Fully recommended for nature lovers, who want to know more about the flora and fauna of the beautiful Villa Las Angostura. Day of much learning from our Mariano guide.

5.00Today we make the crossing that leaves from Bahia Brava in El Puerto and runs throughout Fray Menendez Island. The day was unbeatable, sunny and very calm the Lake, which allowed this tour. Mariano, the Guide, an incredible treatment, explained us super detailed in every moment that he maneuvers in the Kayak, flora and fauna of the place and history of it. Halfway through, we stopped at a very nice beach and prepared a super complete breakfast (fresh fruit, nuts, delicious crescents, infusions, everything). An amazing and unforgettable experience. You have to live it in the flesh to feel what it generates.

5.00This was a wonderful trip, I could do this over and over again. It’s a beautiful location, very peaceful and nice views. You stop at an island for a snack and drink and it’s a nice break. The group had fun and I just was so happy to get a chance to be on the water in this amazing place.
An Essential Kayak Tour of Lago Nahuel Huapi
Benhiker,,Nov 14, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our half-day kayak tour with Mariano was a magical experience. Lago Nahuel Huapi is a wonderful habitat, full of beautiful forests, birds and history. But the real treasure of this experience is Mariano himself. His kayaking equipment is top-notch, and Mariano made sure we were secure and comfortable at every stage of our trip. He is tremendously knowledgeable about the regional habitat and has the global travel and guide experience to put it into proper perspective. Our beach picnic was delicious, with an excellent presentation of and participation in the hierba mate ceremony. Mariano is a terrific ambassador for Argentina and Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi. We recommend his tour highly and would gladly do it again.
