½
Day Sea Kayaking in Puerto Natales
|
|
|
The kayak guide will pick you up at your hotel, where
your personal gear will be passed out. Then the transport
will take you to the Puerto Natales waterfront, where
you will be given your kayak and listen to an instructive
talk on safety and how to paddle a sea kayak.
We will enjoy the scenic landscape surrounding the city
of Puerto Natales, while observing colonies of cormorants,
swans and flamingos up close. During our trip, we will
also visit the fishermen’s pier and see many small boats,
making their journey from the fjords to the open sea.
It is also possible to visit the Historical Museum of
Puerto Bories, where the economic growth of the town started.
This is a perfect half-day trip option to enjoy nature
and the local environment. At the end of the excursion,
we return back to the Puerto Natales coast, where a transfer
will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.

evaluate current weather conditions, before heading out on
the water. At this point your guide may decide to shorten
