5.00Excellent half day walk through the sunken Maullin River forest. Low difficulty walk ideal for going with children or adults. It doesn't take much physical effort. Amazing nature and magic of the native forest submerged in the river. Really recommended. Cahuil Adventure and the guides Felipe and Fernando were very professional and friendly and always concerned. Very good equipment. 100% recommended ride!
Excellent canoe through nature.

5.00This was an excellent half day kayak experience. We paddled in a beautiful area with lots of different birds to see and gorgeous scenery. Our guide Filipe was excellent. He had lots of knowledge about the birds and plants, which was very interesting. The instruction on paddling and steering technique was helpful and the advice on the route to take on the faster water was so helpful. We felt safe and supported. It really was a brilliant afternoon.
Great walk

5.00All perfect. We did it with rain and it was an equally great experience. Philip the very friendly guide. He knew a lot and helped us because we were inexperienced with Kayaking. It also helped us to distinguish the fauna and flora of the place, of which I knew a lot too.
