Come join us and Kayak Chile on the mighty Futaleufu River!

 

​Who is this trip aimed at?

We are aiming this trip at paddlers who are comfortable paddling grade 3+ big volume rivers and you should be able to roll but it doesn't need to be consistent. This trip can be physically demanding so a good level of fitness is also needed.

​

Sample itinerary - Futaleufu Adventure:

 

Day 1 – Arrival day, land in Santiago Chile then fly down to Puerto Montt airport (PMC).

We will pick you up from Puerto Montt airport and spend the rest of the day exploring the tourist town of Puerto Varas and the fishing port town of Puerto Montt. We will then board the night ferry to Chaiten, Patagonia.

 

Day 2 - Futaleufu River:

The ferry docks in the coastal town of Chaiten just in time for breakfast before making the 3 hour drive to the magical Futalefu valley, where we can outfit the boats for the trip, have lunch and settle in to our accommodation. During the afternoon we will do a warm up run down one of the easier sections of the river to get used to our kayaks and get a taste of paddling on the mighty Futa.

Safety:

We keep our group sizes small, with a maximum ratio of one guide to four clients, ensuring a more personal experience and greater safety. Your safety is our top priority. Every trip is equipped with a comprehensive group first aid kit, appropriate safety gear, and communication devices for the environment we'll be exploring. All our guides are highly qualified, experienced, and insured, to ensure your trip is safe, enjoyable, and professionally managed in all conditions.

 

Our expeditions are outfitted with industry-leading safety technology to manage risks in any environment:

​

• Satellite Connectivity: We carry Garmin inReach devices on every trip. This allows for real-time GPS tracking and reliable two-way satellite messaging, ensuring we are never truly "off-grid" even when phone signal vanishes.​

​

• Defibrillator: Rapid response is vital in remote areas. We carry a Portable Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on all expeditions, with guides trained to provide immediate life-saving intervention if required.

​

• Support Vehicle: a dedicated support vehicle is available to provide additional backup, transport, and rapid assistance if required - adding an extra layer of safety and flexibility to your trip.
