Magnífica experiencia, muy recomendable. Muy bien por Rubén, el guía, por Pablo, conductor y cocinero, la comida también de diez, y la compañía en el Kayak, y además tuvimos un muy buen día. Todo espléndido a pesar de mi muy básica experiencia en kayak

Impeccable work of guides Hector and Ruben, as well as driver Nacho (a genius at the wheel), Second cook and assistant Franco. The exquisite food and friendliness of the unrivalled staff, 100% friendly at all times, from the start with the directions to paddle as well as when giving the directions to put on the neoprene clothes and of course telling the story of Darwin.
We had a spectacular day, no winds, which led to everything being enjoyed twice as much. You could see the joy in the group and we could all enjoy every moment.
