What people are saying about Tierra del Fuego

A great introduction to the National Park - canoeing, hiking, and sight-seeing; plus a delicious lunch with wine! The full day tour was excellent! Guides had everything well-organized. I would highly recommend!

It was a wonderful experience and our pilot was great. It’s a bit windy near the mountains, so can get a little choppy, but our pilot navigated it with ease.

Would highly recommend people taking this flight A wonderful different perspective of the mountain ranges and entire overview of the layout of the landscape

Wonderful experience, small group made the trip. Penguins up close. Various activities, boat row around fun with group, however rather pointless. Recommend.

Very good mix of activities, and the lunch tasted amazing !
