This sea kayaking adventure takes place in the heart of Pumalin Park, traveling along the beautiful Quintupeo and Cahuelmó fjords. Travelers will paddle between huge granite walls and waterfalls that plunge into the ocean and see plenty of austral dolphins, sea lions and endemic bird species. Visitors will also enjoy hot spring baths and walks to hidden lakes that very few have visited.
Requires high-intensity physical efforts that push the limits of one's fitness. May include tours with multiple days in a row of strenuous physical activity or single requiring more than 7 hours of activity. Recommended for travelers maintaining a demanding fitness level.
Arrive to Puerto Montt and transfer to Puerto Varas. Enjoy this quaint town this afternoon on your own. In the evening, the group will assemble for a safety briefing with the guides.
Day 2: Llancahue
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Rising early depart by van along the Carretera Austral and cross the southern end of the Reloncavi Fjord by ferry. At Comau Fjord, you will launch your kayaks and paddle for about 2-3 hours in the relatively protected waters until you reach Llancahue Island and its hot springs. After a relaxing soak and local dinner return to the island's B&B for the night.
Day 3: Quintupeo Fjord
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
After an early breakfast, you head towards the mainland, paddling towards the narrow entrance of Quintupeo Fjord. This day is a bit of a longer crossing into the heart of Pumalin Park. The fjord has huge granite walls and massive waterfalls that jump from the Andes to the sea. After a picnic lunch, maybe a shower under a waterfall, you gradually make your way to the camp site. Camp is set up at the end of the fjord and dinner is prepared for a relaxing evening.
Day 4: Cahuelmo Fjord
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Today, you paddle out of the Quintupeo Fjord into the cove of Cahuelmo, approximately 6 hours. Cahuelmo Fjord is a wonderful place with big mountains that rise from the sea and then go inland among narrow valleys. Keep an eye out for a colony of sea lions! At the end of the fjord the Pumalin Project area and the Cahuelmo hotsprings await you for a soak and view of the sunset. After dinner, set up your tent in the rain forest and say goodnight to another amazing day in Patagonia.
After a hearty breakfast, you have a short paddle to a local fisherman who will transport you back to the van transportation. From there you drive along the Reloncavi fjord on the scenic Austral Highway, arriving in Puerto Varas later in the evening.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!

Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.

This was a life changing trip of a lifetime and exceeded my expectations. No details were left out during the planning of this trip by Adventure Life. The entire crew on the ship could not have been more helpful and kind. Everyone went out of their way to make this trip as pleasurable as possible.
