Amazing day trip from Santiago
This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Chile! Seeing a penguin in the wild, another item checked off the bucket list! Jimmy is a great guide and took care of every single detail. The Chilean picnic was delicious and great way to start paragliding. If you’re in Santiago and want a day that combines wildlife, adventure, and amazing Chilean food, this tour is 100% worth it!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much James for your review! We hope to see you again in the future.

Meet the penguins, go para sailing, and sand boarding… all in the same day!
What a day!!!! Jimmy the driver/company owner is a really cool guy. Speaks great English! We meet the penguins!!!! Absolutely brilliant! The cutest little creatures on earth! And what a beautiful beach/waterfront area. Spent the whole day looking at the ocean! Had a great time para sailing… once in a lifetime experience! From there we went sand boarding! We ski a lot so this came quite naturally to us. What a great time! Sit back and enjoy, Jimmy will handle everything!
Response from the operator: Thanks Bryan for reviewing your experience! We got a great day with you guys :)

Nature, coastal views, and extreme sports
This was one of the most fun tours we've ever been on. Jimmy was very cool and calm. The trip to see the penguins was beautiful as we got to see a varied coastal landscape that gave us a unique slice of Chile both in the car and on the boat. We were initially a bit scared and intimidated by the sandboarding but he was a great teacher. He also found us a delicious empanada spot, and provided a lovely picnic with some great snacks and wines. Paragliding was an exhilarating experience and it was the perfect setting to try it.
Response from the operator: Thanks So much guys for sharing your experience! I hope to see you again in the future:)

Penguins and Empanadas
Jimmy was a great guide and host. Lunch was excellent, the empanadas were delicious and the homemade salsa was excellent. Boat trip to see the penguins was a blast and the sand boarding was very fun. Highly recommend
Response from the operator: Thanks David for sharing your experience:) best for your guys, Jimmy

Magnifique
We had the opportunity to travel with Jimmy — an excellent person and a highly professional guide. His knowledge of the city and its history is outstanding, and he is a great storyteller. He took us to exceptional locations where we were able to photograph Chilean wildlife, including Humboldt penguins, sea lions, and pelicans. The tour was very well organized in terms of timing, and the gastronomic experience was excellent.
Response from the operator: Thanks Juan for the lovely review !

Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.
Is Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fr STGO: WILD PENGUINS, SEALION, SANDBOARD, PARAGLIDING & PICNIC start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Santiago: Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & Casablanca Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santiago?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santiago?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
