flecha SEA KAYAKING AND WILDLIFE

Duration: three days.

Time of year: all year round

Difficulty level: moderate.


Day 1: From your hotel we drive early in the morning north of La Serena to Humboldt Penguin National Reserve, which consists of three islands with white sandy beaches surrounded by emerald water full of marine wildlife such as penguins, seals, a colony of bottle nose dolphins and a great variety of marine birds. Once we get there we’ll prepare and pack our kayaks (the stable and comfortable Necky Amaruk model), have a safety talk and paddling instructions. This first day of paddling is to cross to Damas island, set up camp, have time for a soft trek around the island and have dinner.

Day 2: Early in the morning we cross to the Choros island and as we approach we’ll get sight of the seals who are located in front of large cliffs which on occasion we will navigate through. Once we’ll have visited the Choros island and have some food to recover energy we will go back towards Damas island, a place where we will have more opportunity of sighting dolphins. Free afternoon to enjoy the place and relax. Early dinner.

Day 3: In the morning after breakfast we’ll prepare and pack the kayaks and depending on the sea state we’ll start paddling back to the continent, where our transportation will drive us to a seafood restaurant and have lunch. Return to your lodging accommodation. This concludes our service.

Note: The program can be modified at any moment due to changes in the condition of the sea state or any other situation that affects the integrity of the group. If we are on the mainland and we cannot cross due to the evaluation of the conditions carried out by our guide, we will wait until the conditions improve. This may include a change of the condition of the sea after staying at the Damas island, which could mean that we have to stay on the island a little longer. These situations cannot be predicted and are out of our control so they are not a reason for a refund.
