Strait Park - Fort Bulnes

Exciting experience to see the end of South America continent and the converge of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Be aware the Magallanes area is extremely windy and cold, wear appropiate warm clothes including hat , neck and hands clothes. History part is boring and the cafeteria too expensive, so bring snacks or wait to arrive at Punta Arenas for lunch or dinner.

We had a great day out in the park with our guide Jose. He took us to the Fort and made sure we stopped on the way to take in some of the beautiful scenery and explained the history, the Chilean way fo life and how this developed. He was happy to answer our various questions.

Prompt pickup, our guide Francisco and driver were very good and informative. Plenty of photo stops on route. Fort and museum were very good . Onsite restaurant very good too Excellent value for money.

Good route and friendly guide. Comfy minibus however the mic wasn’t working properly, the aircon didn’t keep the windows clear so difficult to see passing countryside, driver was stressed and driving initially erratic. 2 people were very late and we waited for them so instead of a 9pm start we didn’t leave till 10:25. Should have left them. Not fair on the rest of the group. However 5 hr tour but we’re back by 2:10. So actually 4hrs. Not impressed.

Great guide who spoke good English , really interesting information and half day was the correct timing for this visit.

Excellent guide passed us to look for the Hotel super quiet and comfortable took us to my son and to me he explained along the way helped us with taking pictures and in the Fort we did the tour what is cultural you learn a lot and then gave us time to walk and there are options to walk fed up or little we took the 45 minute and was amazing the views the flora and fauna . Then back we go to the museum which is nice but as an advice the souvenirs are very expensive, so if you have option to go to the free zone they are very cheap and make you want to bring everything. Back we stopped at the entrance to the Fort and took pictures and left us at the hotel.....it was a very different and relaxing afternoon I recommend it 100% is magical

The trip did not run. I waited at the advised pick up location, for a 9am pick up. The arranged pick up did not happen, and I did not receive any notification that there was an issue. I waited 30 minutes then tried to contact both Viator and the operator. The operator did not respond immediately. By 10am, the operator responded and said the van had mechanical issues. They offered a tour later in the day, I could not do that time. The reason I gave a 2 star rating is that the operator provided a prompt refund. I understand that issues can occur but there is no excuse for not notifying.

The experience was great, the tour guide was awesome. Our ship docked at a commercial port instead of tendering, which is always great. But in this case (NOT), the ship used a shuttle bus to drop us off at the main square. I was suppose to met the guide outside the passenger port, in which I was not there. I called the company and they said no problem I will send the guide to come and pick you. He arrived a few minutes later and off we went, So Greatful. The tour was very nice spent a lot of time learning about the fort. The scenery was awesome, including the drive. Highly recommend this tour.

Hernan was able to communicate in English and did a good job in explaining the history of the fort and of the surrounding areas.

The only bus travelling here arrives 8h45 and the park only opens at 10am. Return bus only at 8pm... yes, that's true! There's no one around to explain the importance of the site or guide you through it. Costly/pricy entrance for what you get in return! It's worth going here if you're planning on doing the 10km hike along the cost. Beautiful!!! You might even get to see the fisherman and have a chat with them.
