Papudo Tour With Penguins And Horseback Ride

I looked at trying to reach Zapallar by bus, but the schedule was almost impossible unless you have several days. So I settled on this trip instead and it was definitely the right choice. Picked up from my hotel on time (they contacted me the day before with the exact time for pick up). Once they have collected all the other passengers (there were 8 of us) headed off to Zapallar. We stopped on the way for a toilet break and you can buy snacks if you want. The boat trip is on a small fishing boat with only 4 passengers and lasts an hour. They take several passes around the island and there were plenty of penguins as well as other sea birds. I have included pictures but I have a 600mm lens - you will not get as good pictures with just a phone. We saw one baby sea lion, but unfortunately no sea otters (but they are rare - so if you do see one remember how lucky you are) After the boat trip we went on to Papudo and horse riding. Only one of the group had done any riding before, but honestly they were very placid horses so don't worry if you haven't ridden before. We rode along the beach and back but only at a walk. Then back to Papudo beach where you can have lunch at a seafood restaurant (not included). The food was excellent according to the others - I opted to walk the beach front instead as I had brought my own lunch. Then back to the hotel. Overall a great day out and I think reasonably priced. The trip was originally planned for the next day, but the company contacted me about changing the day because there was going to be bad weather on the day I booked. So excellent communication. The guide was multilingual - English and Portugese for us - and kept us informed. I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes penguins.

We had an amazing time! Our guide, Paul, and driver, Sebastian, were really sweet and attentive. We felt very comfortable the whole time even when sailing in open waters and horseback riding on ocean cliffside. The views were spectacular! A truly unique way to experience the Chilean coast!!

Amazon experience! We had such a great time Unbelievable views! Perfect organization, everything on time. Highly recommended

It was an amazing experience, from horseback riding to sailing and seeing Humboldt penguins, a very professional agency with very friendly guides.

Tour for those who want to get out of the obvious tours in Santiago. Everything was very well organized, they pick up at the hotel and are warning by whatsapp who will be next and share the location of the van in real time, the guide Juan is excellent, explains the entire history of the locations, helps the people to relax, brings curiosities and takes beautiful photos! The horse ride is simply unavoidable! The coast is wonderful and the horses are very gentle, until I who had no experience felt safe. We also saw very cute penguins, a puppy giving their first fists in the water, more beautiful thing! And the van allows us to enjoy the landscape and rest after a long day of walking. I loved today and I recommend it to everyone!

Everything very well met my expectations

A fantastic experience! An unparalleled program in Santiago, with an excellent guide (Juan) and a first-rate driver (Sebastián). We were taught the history of the villages we visited and much about the local flora and fauna, Humboldt penguins, horseback riding on the beach, a beach break and, finally, a lovely little gift! Thank you so much! I highly recommend this amazing tour; you will not regret it!

Seeing penguins in Cachagua by boat was magical, and the ride in Papudo by the coast, spectacular, with incredible views. All inclusive. 5/5. From the best experiences in Chile.

It is a very interesting experience for lovers of marine fauna. The guides are very friendly and have an excellent layout. It is a must to know some of the most beautiful spas in the central area. 1000% recommended!

We had an unforgettable experience with Brothers Tours! I highly recommend it, we felt very safe, it was a quiet walk, along the beach and the Chilean coast, and with horseback riding (mansitos) and lush landscapes, a rare and extremely pleasant walk! The guide was super attentive the whole time! I only have praise! Let's have an inesquevel experience with Brothers Tours! I recommend muito, we feel very safe, foi um passeio tranquil, pela praia e Costa Chilena e com passeio à cavalo (mansinhos) e paisagens lush, passeio rare and extremely pleasant. Super attentive guide or tempo all! Just have praise!

The tour was amazing. Seeing penguins was beautiful and the ride 10/10. Really a great experience, the super attentive and patient guide Juan de Dios lets you take the photos you want and even helps you take them. From the first contact the experience was very good. I highly recommend, I would definitely contact them again for more tours✨❣️

An excellent tour had an amazing time, beautiful views and the dry guys at work would recommend it a thousand times. Nice and educational experience.

It was too rich, zapallar per se is a beautiful beach and it was there that we took the boat to first see the penguins and what a beautiful thing to be able to see them in their habitation, then came the ride and I felt too much in a film for all the flowers that you see along the way and finish with a super fresh and delicious lunch watching the sea gave the closure to a perfect day! Thank you so much!

Excellent experience, Don Victor (chauffeur) and Alexis (guide) a 10. We were guided and told stories of the area. This for me makes the experience more complete and know the localities better. We saw chungungo, penguins, and other birds, local tree info and relevant stories from the area. In my case I went alone. I recommend it.

The trip I found very interesting was well organized filled me with happiness to see the penguins and super happy with the ride Mr. Victor and Alexis super friendly watching for anything 10/10 this tour

I loved the experience the driver is very well educated Mr Victor is very careful when driving and also the manager Alexis too kind to us and commented facts and information 😊

Very good driver Don Victor along with excellent guide who was Alexis, super happy with his kindness and his treatment, we really had a great time and it was a very fun experience together with good people

Wonderful!!! A magical tour, full of beautiful scenery and interesting facts with guide Alexis Soto and driver Victor. The experience of being in the middle of the sea in the morning, riding along the coastal edge and having lunch overlooking the sea, is perfect. Thanks to Alexis who made the tour interesting and fun!!!!!

The experience today with brotherstours was amazing! It exceeded our expectations. It is also a very reliable agency, I recommend infinite.
