Deer Island
The first thing you are told about this tour is don’t expect to actually see any deer even though there are over a hundred red deer on this island. We did see deer excrement so the deer actually exist. The tour is actually a 2 hour hike on a small island with some beautiful views --- sun would probably had made some the view spectacular.
Prior to the tour, we stood on the deck and enjoyed the view as our ship dropped anchor and launched the tenders.
On the other side of the harbour we could see a house, maybe a small farm.
From the dock area we looked back at our ship.
We had a bit of time before our tour was to start so we wandered into town. Puerto Chacabuco is a small town but it had a very nice park.
We started the tour with a 20 minute boat ride. The island is privately owned and no one currently lives on the island but there are remnants of a building and a shed on the island.
There is an interesting red barked tree on this island and without google I can’t come up with name. I believe the flower is a foxglove.
The following photos are some of the views we saw.
When we arrive on the island it was a relatively straight forward walk across the floating dock and get on the island. When we returned to the boat it wasn’t quite as straight forward …. Part of the dock was under water.
