“This is the total package… accommodation, food, fellow travellers, guides, cooks, scenery… ohhh the scenery. And in a very remote and unspoiled part of the world. Wonderful and unique.”

“Australis takes us to the pristine nature of Patagonia. The crew is excellent, and the guides are young, nice, and well-prepared. An unforgettable experience. The glacier’s world is fascinating and deserves such a well-organized visit.”
“Everything about this trip was very well done. The attentiveness of the staff, the well-organized expeditions, the choice of difficulty of the excursions, and the concern for safety were all high level. I would definitely recommend this trip to friends.”
