Description
The Kayak on Lake Gutierrez tour from Bariloche, suitable for people with no prior experience, allows you to navigate at a relaxed pace on this lake’s waters in double kayaks. It combines nature, adventure and mountain scenery, covering a total of 3 kilometers divided into two segments of approximately 50 minutes of paddling each. It is an ideal option for those looking for an active yet relaxing excursion, always guided by professional instructors.

Those who book the excursion with transfer from the city center of Bariloche will be picked up at the agreed meeting point, while those with their own vehicle must present themselves at the beach located on Lake Gutierrez, at 16 km from the city.

Once at Lake Gutierrez, the team of guides will provide a complete briefing on technique and safety, as well as assist participants with the necessary equipment. After the short instruction, the navigation begins towards a natural beach located about 3 kilometers away, where there will be a break to rest and enjoy a snack while admiring the mountain scenery.

After the break, you will board again to complete the second segment of kayaking, returning to the starting point where the tour ends. The total duration of the excursion is approximately two and a half hours, from the moment you get into the kayaks, including the break on the beach.

This tour is perfect for those who want an outdoor experience, enjoying the quietness of Lake Gutierrez and the beauty of its surroundings. The combination of gentle paddling and Patagonian landscapes makes it an excellent option in Bariloche.
