Puerto Natales Cruise Shuttles

As one of many handfuls of isle communities along the far southern end of South America, Puerto Natales offers an especially beautiful scenery for those looking to enjoy the waters of the Almirante Montt Gulf, as much as the vibrant downtown nightlife filled with casinos, historic museums and waterfront restaurants. Cruise ships arriving to the area are likely to anchor somewhere in the narrow strait adjacent to the city, smaller ships tendering guests ashore to the mainland’s Muelle Viejo, or ‘Old Dock’. Book the right lift to see the interesting backdrop with ease, looking forward to pristine coastline views with one of many private rideshare options ranging from basic sedans to spacious SUVs and vans. Also ideal are meet-and-greet services offering leisure drop offs ranging from chauffeured limousines toward upscale corners of Manuel Bulnes Street, to local personal drivers who can show the local charm of often overlooked mountain corners.

Get a good feel for what Puerto Natales is all about, mainly by taking a walk through the beautifully rustic Municipal Historical Museum and its many artifacts from simpler times, afterward walking through the neon-lit juxtaposition at Casino de Puerto Natales, a multi-purpose entertainment space at least good for a late-night walk. Gain as much information on the area before venturing anywhere at the National Tourism Service as well, located a few minutes north of the main ferry terminal at Muelle Viejo (‘Old Dock’), and home to an expert multilingual staff ready to help guests plan their day as well as offer patient recommendations. Close to the visitor center is the famed Muelle Historico (‘Historic Dock’), a scenic row of pillars often cluttered with sea birds. Lastly, sit down for dinner before returning to the ship, choosing between the intimate seaside setting of Santolla, or traditional Italian from downtown’s Mesita Grande.
