A Full-Day Experience
Full-day fishing excursions for two anglers per boat.
Classic float trip:
We fish various rivers in different watersheds, such as the Calcurrupe, Bueno, Pilmaiquen, Chirre, Rahue, and Coihueco rivers, as well as the Maullín and Petrohué rivers.
Lake float trips:
Lake Maihue, Huishue Park, Futangue Park, and other lakes:
On Lake Huishue, we use aluminum boats with 4-stroke motors to navigate bays and streams.
On Futangue and other smaller lakes, we use rafts and NRS Catarrafts to float peacefully amidst nature.
Coastal float trips:
In the coastal mountain range, we have countless rivers and streams with pristine waters and lush beauty. They are home to a diverse array of birds and wildlife, and a healthy population of active trout.
Similarly, salmon migrate from the sea into the rivers to spawn, offering the opportunity to fish for Chinook salmon on their first upstream run.
