About
We are here to show you the hidden and not so hidden natureā€™s treasures of this region. You will be surprised to find real penguins in their natural habitat just a short car drive away, a bunch of sea lions chilling like thereā€™s no tomorrow on rocks 100m from the coast and diverse flowers blooming next to a wild rocky path close to probably the prettiest beach in central Chile. Let us share the beauty of this Region wit you!

Excellent tour and service
Jan 2023 ā€¢ Couples
It was a very diverse excursion and we enjoy every part of the tour. The empanadas that they served during our lunch picnic was the best empanada we ever had.. They were so kind to let us do some paragliding after lunch which is not a part of the tour.. The sand surfing was also fun cause almost all of us in the group have not fond it before..the hike on the coastline with a very beautiful view was so breathtaking.. Overall Go Penguins did their best to make this tour excel from other tours on the area.. Highly recommended to other travelers in the area..

Great Service! Jimmy and team was able to accommodate my schedule. Absolutely loved the little touches they add in, they went above and beyond. I went for the penguins but loved the sea lions and sand boarding! Also as a single female traveller I felt 100% safe!

An excellent tour with superb guides Jimmy and Josephine. They both made sure we had everything we needed, gave us a wonderful day out and a superb lunch. If you like penguins and five star treatment, this is the tour to do.

If you come to Chile, you have to do this tour.
Jan 2023 ā€¢ Solo
If you come to Chile, you have to do this tour. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. The tour guides were amazing, food was fantastic, and the sights were spectacular. Had a wonderful time making stops along the coast and taking a boat ride to see some Penguins. After that, we grabbed some local food and had a lunch with spectacular views of the ocean. We end of the day was sandboarding right next to the Pacific. Memories for a lifetime.

Fabulous day with Jimmy & Simona!
Feb 2020 ā€¢ Couples
We were met promptly at our hotel at 9 oā€™clock by our tour guides, Jimmy and Simona. They worked together perfectly and made sure that we had a very memorable day. We enjoyed our boat ride out to the island to see the penguins and sea lions. We had a nice walk along the beach. We had a very memorable Chilean lunch and had the opportunity to do some hang gliding at a beautiful spot along the coastline. I only wish I had gone for it! Our guides wouldā€™ve been very willing to have given me the opportunity. We finished our day sand boarding at the Concon sand dunes. So much fun! We learned so much about the Chilean traditions and history, and had so much fun with our guides.

Fun with penguins, good local food, and even hang gliding!
Jan 2023
This tour was so much fun! I went with my granddaughter, who is a bird nerd and especially in love with penguins. We weren't able to take the boat trip closer to the penguins because of wind, but it was fun anyway. The highlight of the tour wasn't even on the itinerary: because of the wind, we went hang gliding at the lunch stop and loved it. The food and drinks were delicious, the guide was fluent, friendly, and fun. I wasn't interested in the sand boarding, so I just waited that one out, but my granddaughter enjoyed it, and overall the tour was terrific.

Nice people, nice day!
It was more a daytrip with friends than a classic tour -and I didn't know anybody! I loved the friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the places we saw, and the sandboard was very fun. It was a pity we didn't go on the boat to watch the penguins, make sure you ask specifically if this is possible when you go if you don't want to see them only with a binocular. Still, it was worth it.
