Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas.

4.00Nothing in the description said we would go up the volcano to the ski area. From there you can take the chair lift up a little ways. Or hike the trail. Or stay in the cafe have coffee and empanadas. The waterfall park tour is just buy a ticket with your credit card, and walk 1000 meters down the trail to overlook platforms. Can't get so close to the waterfall, but you get the idea what it's like. There were a couple stops along the drive to take photos. Then a drive through Puerto Varas, which is the nice town in the area. I think I would have taken the other tour that visited the german settlement. Not much around Puerto Montt. Tour guide described port area as run down, and it was.
Nice option for cruisers

5.00Our tour guide Darla is a sweet girl. She gave us enough of time for each stop . We did everything on the itinerary. It was just some people in the group didn't come back in time that's not under her control. We made it back to the ship in time.

5.00Knowledgeable guide, excellent locations visited. We were lucky with the weather with clouds lifting later in the day so we saw all 3 volcano peaks. Bus had some technical issues but they kept us informed and assured us about alternate arrangements if required.

3.00While the trip itself was much more economical than the one offered by the cruise ship, I was concerned about the safety of the bus and the experience of the driver. The bus was alarming throughout most of the trip up to the volcano. Our tour guide told us not to worry. It was just a water issue. We ended up stalling out and losing power several times up the very steep switchbacks at the base of the volcano. I asked if we could transfer to another bus but was told there were none available. The tour guide said she requested a new bus be waiting for us at our next stop at the national park. She later said it was not the bus, but rather the driver not shifting out of manual???? When we left the volcano to head for the park, there were more alarm notifications on the driver dashboard. We also did not get a new bus at the park. The anxiety surrounding the safety of the vehicle really took away from the experience.
Gorgeous scenery and a great guide

5.00Time spent on the bus is filled with interesting history and information on the area. Stephanie is fun and knowledgeable. We were impressed with her language skills, shifting back and forth between English and Spanish so easily. Buying tickets for the falls went quickly and the experience is worth it for both the waterfalls and the volcano view.
Fantastic Tour!

5.00We took this tour off a cruise ship that was in town for the day. A great value and perfect alternative to the cruise ship tours. We saw some excellent sites and while I wish we had more time at each site, it was just enough to see it all. Maria, our guide, was informative and very accommodating! She was excellent. Highly recommend taking this tour, especially if you are here on a day stop from a cruise ship!
Great tour run by great company

5.00We’re very late due to Princess’s water shuttle arrangement (two hours late). We were so worried. But Yellow Penguin not only waited us but also kept communicating with us insuring that we’ve been taken care of. That was very helpful to customers like us who’ve never experienced such a delay by the ship. The shore excursion itself with two hours less than originally designed was a big success. Our tour guide Stephany and our driver Christian were so good. They managed the time perfectly such that we not only visited the beautiful national park but also the volcano itself, so wonderful, so beautiful! And on the way Stephany kept telling us a lot of interesting stories about the area, very informative, knowledgeable and professional! Yellow Penguin and her agents are the best, all of them! Strongly recommend Yellow Penguin to anyone. You won’t be disappointed if you book with them!
