Mari Mari’s pristine environment is home to dozens of bird species, some unique and endemic to this part of the world. Qualified naturalists will not only share their enthusiasm for wildlife but will also help you identify the different species by observing them or by listening to their sounds. Field guides, binoculars, and scopes are provided. Depending on weather conditions and the season, we will venture out to visit penguin colonies, crowded sea lion isles, and migratory lanes for the Humpback and Blue whales. Mari Mari’s 35 ft-motor boat offers guests a relaxed and contemplative experience with a respectful approach to the marine wildlife. The vessel allows guests to observe the wildlife not only in the utmost comfort but also in safety. Another way of exploring the ocean is by kayak, an exciting way to witness the bio-diversity of the Pacific Ocean. They prepare all guests with the appropriate safety equipment, instructions, and an expert guide. This area of the South Pacific Ocean is renowned for its abundance of saltwater game fish such as the Chilean Sea Bass, Brackish Water Bass, Sierra Mackerel, Bonito, and Salmon. At Mari Mari you have the opportunity to practice surf fishing from the shore after the Chilean Sea Bass; a tide runner that feeds on pools near shallow water. If Vertical Jigging is more your game, go on a deep-sea adventure out on the open water. Depending on the season, Bonito and Sierra Mackerel will test your skills. Catch & Release or Catch & Cook, it's up to you. The well-prepared team of guides will shed light on local and ancestral cultures, and how they learned to survive and love this land. Guests can enjoy in-depth cultural experiences with visits to patrimonial churches, archaeological highlights, and neighboring communities among others.

Guides and staff will make sure the youngest guests have as much fun as the adults. A good example of an interactive and child-friendly activity is a visit to our organic garden, during which the young guests identify plants and herbs and even pick ingredients for dinner. The swimming pool and a variety of board games are there to enjoy.. Babysitting and child-care services are available but will depend on availability. |
