Pickup Information

Hello and Welcome! We're excited to have you join us for your tour of beautiful Puerto Montt! Meeting Instructions We will meet you outside the main entrance/exit gate of the cruise port, about a 5-minute walk from the tender dock. After stepping off the tender, continue through the terminal building and exit toward the right. If you reach the buses and vans, you've gone too far. If needed, simply ask port staff for the main exit ("salida principal"). Our team will be waiting just outside the gate holding GV Tours signs. To avoid confusion with other tour operators, please ask for the port exit rather than GV Tours. We'll confirm your reservation by your name and party size when you arrive. Meeting Time We plan to meet one hour after your ship's scheduled arrival. Examples: 7:00 AM arrival → 8:00 AM meeting 8:00 AM arrival → 9:00 AM meeting 9:30 AM arrival → 10:30 AM meeting If possible, please take one of the earlier tenders. If the tender process is delayed, don't worry—we're experienced with cruise schedules and will adjust as needed. We always ensure you're back at the port with plenty of time before the last tender. What to Bring Dress in layers. Bring sunscreen. Let us know in advance if anyone in your group is vegetarian or has dietary restrictions. Need to Reach Us? During the busy cruise season, calling us is the fastest way to reach us for anything urgent. We'll also respond to emails and messages as quickly as possible. We can't wait to show you the beauty of Puerto Montt! Warm regards, Annie & the GV Tours Team
