Could you confirm if surfing or kitesurfing can be added as optional activities in suitable locations, or arranged during free time within the current itinerary?

Based on the current itinerary, surfing and kitesurfing are not listed as official optional activities offered through G Adventures. The tour includes free time in destinations such as Valparaíso, Pucón, and Bariloche, where travellers can choose from a variety of optional activities, including hiking, rafting, volcano trekking, thermal pools, and sightseeing excursions. For surfing, the best opportunity would likely be during the free time in the Valparaíso region, as Chile's central coast has several well-known surf beaches. However, participation would need to be arranged independently and would depend on available time, local conditions, and seasonal factors. Kitesurfing is not a commonly offered activity in the destinations included on this itinerary, and there may be limited opportunities that fit within the tour schedule. Independent arrangements may be possible, but we would recommend researching local operators closer to the travel date. As optional activities arranged independently are not part of the G Adventures programme, availability, safety standards, equipment, and transportation would need to be assessed directly with local providers.

Can you advise single supplement

My Own Room for the Thursday 12 March, 2026 departure is $949 AUD. Please note this is on request, so we would need to get confirmation of availability from our local office. You will receive your own single accommodation for all night stops, with the following exceptions: Night 3: Overnight bus, Nights 4-5: Pucón.

What is the cancellation policy for this tour?

The cancellation policy includes various deadlines for non-refundable deposits and fees depending on how close to the departure date the cancellation occurs. Specific percentages and conditions apply.

After the overnight bus journey arriving in Pucon on day 4, do we have access to the hotel straight away or do we need to wait until a check-in is available later in the day?

The hotel check in is around 2pm. Usually the group arrives and drop of their luggage at the hotel (in the hotel storage area), and either rest in the lobby then leave together for a meal, walk around etc.. The hotel will let everyone check in as soon as the rooms are ready, so could be before 2pm, like 12pm or 1pm.

What are the physical demands of the tour?

The physical rating for this tour is light, suitable for most fitness levels, but it includes multiple travel days and considerable walking.

What are the optional activities available during the tour, and how can they be booked?

Optional activities can be booked through your CEO (tour leader) during the tour. Most of these activities require cash payment at the destination.

What meals are included during the tour?

Details regarding the inclusion of meals vary depending on the specific tour schedule. Typically, most breakfasts are included along with some lunches and dinners.

What if we are 3 people and all want to stay in one room?

All rooms are twin share, we only request triples for when there is a minor travelling with their parents.

Is there a minimum number of travellers required for the tour to proceed?

Our trips are guaranteed to depart, and we do not have a minimum number of travellers required to proceed with the tour.

Could I check the below please: 1) Trip cost: my friend booked this trip and invited me to come along but he purchased it for a lower price. Am I missing something? 2) Are the flights from/to London included as well? If so, can I arrive before and leave after the fixed dates? 3) There is an overnight bus journey. I am not terribly good with travelling on cars and buses for long period of times due to motion sickness. How bad is the journey? Don' want to be a nuisance - lol. 4) I love mountains and would be very much interested in adding a trek to my trip. Is it possible to fit this in by booking locally?

International flights are not included and need to be booked separately. We do have long drives on our tours as you move around between cities and countries. You can speak to the guide to enquire about trekking - this is not something we can pre arrange.

This was a fun trip, made great by a wonderful group of six people to travel with and led by a CEO, Valentina, that was the best I've had in 23 trips. Valparaiso was vibrant and quirky, Pucon wild and adventurous, Bariloche breathtakingly beautiful and quaint and Buenos Aires historic and passionate. The succulent red wine, seafood, trout, beer and chocolate fueled the adventure. The day spent on the ranch on the back of a horse will not be forgotten.Show more

I have been on 15 tours already with different companies and I can truthfully say this one was the worst tour. The accommodations were below average. The first hotel had mold all over the room and when I told the CEO he did NOTHING.A tour provided by them was a museum in Santiago and the city tour guide and the CEO would not go with us and all information was in Spanish. (I do not read Spanish). We traveled public buses twice and one of those was for 12 hours. The buses were filthy! The CEO left the group the evening before the tour was finished,telling us he had to start another group. We had no one with our group the last 16 hours. Total waste of time and money.....Show more

This was an excellent tour that well and truly exceeded my expectations. I was expecting quite a 'dull' trip overland from Santiago de Chile to Buenos Aires, and I was delighted by how active it was, all the included activities and optional ones, and the enthusiasm of our guide. I will say I did not expect the region to be so cold, but I should have done more research there. All in all, I'd gladly do this journey again.Show more

William
Asked on June 23rd, 2026
Could you confirm if surfing or kitesurfing can be added as optional activities in suitable locations, or arranged during free time within the current itinerary?
Tour Details
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2026
  Based on the current itinerary, surfing and kitesurfing are not listed as official optional activities offered through G Adventures. The tour includes free time in destinations such as Valparaíso, Pucón, and Bariloche, where travellers can choose from a variety of optional activities, including hiking, rafting, volcano trekking, thermal pools, and sightseeing excursions. For surfing, the best opportunity would likely be during the free time in the Valparaíso region, as Chile's central coast has several well-known surf beaches. However, participation would need to be arranged independently and would depend on available time, local conditions, and seasonal factors. Kitesurfing is not a commonly offered activity in the destinations included on this itinerary, and there may be limited opportunities that fit within the tour schedule. Independent arrangements may be possible, but we would recommend researching local operators closer to the travel date. As optional activities arranged independently are not part of the G Adventures programme, availability, safety standards, equipment, and transportation would need to be assessed directly with local providers.

  By "how bad the journey is" I mean that I suffer from motion sickness so if the trip involves spending over 4 hours on bus, specially overnight, then this is not the trip for me.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2024
  The bus journey overnight will be 8 hours minimum, and there is at least one other day where we will be travelling for 4+ hours by coach also.
