Extending your adventure

When you take a Swoop Group Tour, your adventure doesn’t have to begin and end there. As Patagonia specialists, we offer a variety of ways to make your journey even richer.

If you want to arrive early and settle in, or linger a while longer at the end of the tour, we offer a selection of packages allowing you to explore further, ranging from fully formed experiences in Buenos Aires and Santiago, to short journeys or adventure cruises that allow you to keep discovering more of Patagonia. Many of our tours are even designed specifically to complement an Antarctica expedition cruise.

We can even create additional tailor-made itineraries created just for you – get in touch to discover the possibilities.

Is there a supplement for solo travellers?

All our group tours are based on two people sharing accommodation. They attract like-minded travellers from around the world, so solo travellers will be matched with someone of the same sex to share a room.

What type of accommodation do the tours use?

All our group tours operate between November and March, during the summer months of the Southern hemisphere, and the peak time for travel in Patagonia.
