KAYAK BETWEEN NATIONAL PARKS (2 DAYS)

We’ll pick you up early from your Puerto Natales hotel and make our way to the shores of the Serrano River. Here, we’ll load our kayaks and listen to an introduction to kayaking safety and paddling techniques.

Today, our destination is the Last Hope Sound. Despite its rather foreboding name the Sound is a peaceful, glacier-carved channel watched over by snowy Mount Balmaceda (2,148 m / 7,047 ft.).

Our journey begins paddling down the Serrano River until the Serrano waterfall, where we’ll stop and carry our kayaks for about 50 meters (164 ft.).

Having boarded once again we’ll paddle on to Serrano Glacier, with shoreside lenga and cypress trees, and views of Tyndall Glacier and the Geike mountain range alongside us.

Soon after, we’ll join the waters of the Last Hope Sound, where we’ll be rewarded by a beautiful view of Serrano Glacier and may see cormorants, sea lions, dolphins and shore birds.

After breakfast we’ll carry the kayaks around 30 meters (100 ft.) to Serrano Lagoon at the end point of Serrano Glacier.

Our final kayaking experience is a morning’s paddling between the blue icebergs that have calved from the glacier.

* At noon we’ll board a boat bound for Puerto Natales, traveling once again through the Last Hope Sound. We’ll make a stop at Estancia Perales for a Patagonian-style lamb barbecue lunch, and arrive at Puerto Natales around 6:00 pm.

*Sometimes access Serrano Lagoon can be blocked by ice. If this is the case, it won’t be possible to paddle.
