5Amazing tour to break up typical activities in the area!
We had a wonderful time on this kayaking and hiking trip! Kayaking on the steppes was a great change of pace from the glaciars and mountainous hiking in the area. The kayaking itself was very fun and beautiful in the glacial water. Our hike was cut a bit short because of rain the prior night rendering some paths too muddy to pass, but it was still super fun with lots of unique natural formations. Freddy was an excellent guide and we would definitely recommend this tour to others considering it.
5Great trip through a stunning landscape
Great experience. Beautiful setting. The guides provided everything we might possibly need for the kayaking part, wet suits and shoes, dry bag etc. The hike part was stunning as well and we were shown petrified bones and trees. We were the only people in the area. The guides were supper attentive and knowledgable. Would highly recommend this trip!
5Wow, highly recommend.
A fantastic experience. This was suggested for our trip for El Catafate to El Chalten, a brilliant suggestion which made a journey into an unforgettable experience. Granted we were lucky with the weather, but the KSC team had all the controllables sorted. Good equipment and the most amazing scenic route, but most importantly friendly staff who made every effort to cater for different levels of experience, always with a smile and exuding confidence (my wife was very nervous, unnecessarily). The walk and their knowledge was the icing on the cake, with the most spectacular lunch spot.
5Wonderful day. They have ...
Wonderful day. They have ton of equipment for the kayak that keeps you dry during the ride. The kayak ride itself was also easy, fun, and beautiful. The hike was also super interesting - lots of fossils, bones, and great views. It’s a different view of calafate that you can’t get elsewhere. Definitely recommend.
5Great tour with wonderful guide for both the kayaking and the hiking
Great tour with wonderful guide for both the kayaking and the hiking and guide knew much about geology as well, showing dinosaur remains
5A wonderful experience with an incredible guide.
Eduardo is a fantastic guide with an extensive knowledge of the geography and wildlife of the area. He shared so many interesting pieces of knowledge that made the trip even more enjoyable. The journey in the minibus was comfortable and never felt rushed, stopping at places where wildlife was visible. The equipment provided for the kayaking was of good quality and we felt safe and prepared before entering the river. Kayaking down the La Leóna river was a wonderful experience, as was the hike to the petrified forest. Overall, this was an amazing experience made even better by the guide and his team. We highly recommend!

About El Calafate
El Calafate is a small Patagonian town on the shore of Lago Argentino, the base for the Perito Moreno Glacier and Los Glaciares National Park.
El Calafate lies on the south shore of Lago Argentino, a milky turquoise lake fed by glacial meltwater, with the Andes on the western horizon. The town is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with dark berries, and a local saying promises that anyone who eats them will return to Patagonia. It was founded in the 1920s to serve the surrounding sheep estancias and now exists chiefly as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park.
