★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 92 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $150

Kayak Lake Moreno near Bariloche on a private half-day trip with mountain views, Llao Llao, local snacks, and yerba mate.

“Excellent experience and the highlight of our Bariloche trip overall! The kayaking route is gorgeous, with seemingly new views around every corner, and no other tourists in sight. The guides are outstanding and great conversationalists... we could have spent all day with Andy! Finally, lots of bonus features on this one. The route to and from the journey also takes you around the Circuito Chico sightseeing route, so you get to enjoy that tour as well. In addition, we had local snacks and a yerba mate experience while resting at the halfway point of our kayak trip. Basically a bunch of the Bariloche highlights all rolled into one!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 75 reviews · 8 hours · from $158

Trek Tierra del Fuego, enjoy lunch in a geodesic dome, and paddle inflatable canoes from forest to Beagle Channel near Ushuaia.

“La parte con la canoa é stata la più divertente (e faticosa), le guide sono state bravissime, ci hanno fornito tutte le informazioni e le indicazioni. Pranzo al DOME molto caratteristico, ovviamente spartano come era facile immaginare. Il trekking é la parte meno riuscita: organizzazione ottima ma forse si potevano scegliere sentieri più panoramici.”

Ride from San Telmo to Tigre, kayak through quiet canals, and enjoy an Argentine asado on this active Buenos Aires day tour.

“We showed up for our tour only to find they didn’t have it on the schedule even though it had been confirmed via VIATOR. The biking company was apologetic and suggested and abridged version of this tour, which we accepted. They asked us to wait an hour for the guide to arrive. We said yes, and an hour later were told the guide would not be able to take us today. While they were very nice and our money was fully refunded, we ultimately wasted one or two of our days in Buenos Aires.”
