5.00I highly recommend this kayak tour. It is a different way of knowing nature and landscape. We appreciated the fauna and flora through what Mariano, our guide, told us. Super interesting everything we learned and could ask him. The feeling of going over the lake in the kayak is amazing.We were super quiet and at our pace. We stopped to rest on a beach on Menedez Island and prepared a delicious super complete picnic to recharge energy. We had so much fun! Super recommended excursion with Dalca!
Beauty and peace all wrapped in one amazing package!

5.00The experience was sensational, it was great to be able to kayak along the Nahuel Huapi. If they are afraid of getting wet you have a wet cover, it is super safe because the forecast is checked and the ages of the participants are taken into account. The beautiful beach, especially quiet! And the snack to me surprised me for the quality, very good everything: the very good fruit and I tried the crescents and fried cake to gather forces lol. Very good experience to also do something out of the ordinary.
The perfect paddling, on the perfect day, in the perfect scenery with the perfect guide. We absolutely loved it.

5.00We kayaked with Mariano and Victoria and had the best time. We aren’t experienced paddlers but Mariano explained everything extremely well and assisted us with the equipment and getting into the kayaks. We even had neoprene skirts to keep our legs completely dry and warm. The weather was exceptional with no wind and not a cloud in the sky. And the water was every shade of blue and turquoise. We stopped at a perfect small beach and ate a delicious picnic of fresh fruits, pastries, fresh orange, tea and Mariano made and shared some Mate. Thank you both so much. We had a wonderful day in picture perfect scenery. And if you make it to Scotland, come visit us.

5.00We went on a kayak trip with Mariano for the second time. Since we had had our first trip last summer (in Bahia Mansa), he made sure not to repeat the place, so we went on a half day tour to Lake Espejo. He's truly a great guide, very kind and attentive, who makes sure that everybody is having a good time. He also gives a lot of interesting information about the species, the history of the place, the geography. To top the experience, you get to have a second breakfast in an amazing hidden beach. We will for sure come back! Thank you so much Mariano
