Private format with a shorter, focused route
Cruise Shore Private Excursion Osorno Volcano & Petrohué Falls
Best for: Travelers who want a private vehicle and a short, focused shore excursion
This option is the most straightforward private shore excursion in the set. It focuses on a compact route around Osorno Volcano and Petrohué Falls and is listed at approximately six hours, which suits travelers who want a defined outing without a longer city circuit. The confirmed inclusions are private transportation and bottled water, while lunch and coffee or tea are not included. The product also points to personalized attention and a modern vehicle fleet. Choose this if you prefer a private format and want to keep the day centered on a single main sightseeing corridor.
Private excursion to Osorno Volcano and Petrohué Falls
- Private transportation is included.

- The route is built as a private shore excursion.
Shared cruise-friendly circuit with included tastings
Shore excursion Frutillar Petrohue and Puerto Varas
Best for: Travelers who want a shared shore excursion with multiple stops and some included food and drink
This tour is built as a full shore-excursion day with a shared format and three clearly listed stops. It runs about six to seven hours and combines Petrohué Falls, Puerto Varas, and Frutillar, so it offers a broader sample of the region than a single-site visit. Confirmed inclusions are pickup, red and white wine, a baked beef Chilean empanada, and the Petrohué Falls entrance fee. The itinerary notes also mention free time in the towns, which makes this a good fit for travelers who want a guided day with a balance of sightseeing and light independent exploring.
Shared shore excursion with Petrohué Falls, Puerto Varas, and Frutillar
- Three named stops are included in the route.
- Pickup is included.
- Wine, an empanada, and entrance to Petrohué Falls are included.
Private route that adds Puerto Montt city sightseeing
Private Day Tour Frutillar, Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt
Best for: Travelers who want a private day that includes Puerto Montt along with Frutillar and Puerto Varas
This is the only option that explicitly includes Puerto Montt in the route, making it the best fit for travelers who want a private overview of the city together with Frutillar and Puerto Varas. The trip is listed at approximately seven hours, so it is the longest of the three. Confirmed inclusions are bottled water and a museum entrance fee, and pickup is included in the listed option. Lunch is not included. The itinerary notes refer to downtown, a main viewpoint, a fish market, a music hall, a German museum, and the lakeshore, so this tour leans more toward city and cultural stops than the shore-excursion products.

- Private pickup is included.
- Bottled water is included.
- A museum entrance fee is included.
Choosing a Puerto Montt itinerary style

A private shore excursion centered on the volcano-and-falls route, with Puerto Varas mentioned in the itinerary notes.
Petrohué Falls, Puerto Varas, and Frutillar
