    An incredible trip with OneSeed - I was debating between this and a G Adventures tour and so glad I chose them! I had only three people in my group and the guide was the loveliest man, and so kind. It was the best way to do the W Trek and took out all of the stress! Highly recommend to all thinking of booking with this company! They were so good in the run up too, and even helped me with other parts of my Patagonia itinery.

    Roberto and Mauricio are the two best guides out there. Our experience could not be better because of the wisdom and knowledge they shared with us. The information and stories they shared about the sites we visited enhanced our experience tremendously. Please give them a huge raise.

    The guides and itinerary were excellent. Refugios were better than expected. Only disappointment was with the ice hike. Suggest reserving spots at start of trip and getting to Grey refugio earlier so people have option to kayak and ice hike. Roberto was excellent. A professional.

    What is the fee for single occupancy?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • OneSeed ExpeditionsOperatorWritten December 2024

      Our single supplement fee is $390 for our Essential Patagonia expedition and includes solo rooms in hotels and when using tent accommodations (does not apply when using refugios). It looks like you're considering a February travel window. While we no longer have spaces available for February 3rd, we do have spots available on our Feb 13th Patagonia Highlights trip. For that option, the solo supplement is only $200.

      Tim

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      Can you please advise if possible to receive assistance with carrying the backpack throughout the trip for two?

    • OneSeed ExpeditionsOperatorWritten June 2024

      On Essential Patagonia, travelers carry the personal gear outlined on our packing list, along with any other personal items they bring along, in their packs along the trail. Most travelers find that a 45 - 60 L pack is sufficient, and most packs end up weighing 20 - 25 lbs / 10 kg, however, we have travelers bring lots of ultra light gear who come in under this, and travelers who bring lots of additional items and come in well over. Travelers DO NOT need to bring or carry a tent, sleeping pad (you do need to bring and carry a sleeping bag), cookware, serve ware, or bulk food for meals, just the items on the list.

    Megan

    Asked on June 5th, 2024

    I'm 70 years old and don't want to go on long treks. My walking speed would hinder other younger folks. I would like to be able to get fairly close to the best sites. Is there a Torres del Paine trip geared for people like me? I don't want to camp.

      Megan

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      Can I see the things I want to see without a trek? My maximum hiking distance is one mile e/w and I do not hike steep terrain.

    • OneSeed ExpeditionsOperatorWritten June 2024

      We can create a custom and private 1 person trip with hotels and private guide for you. This would be a very high-end price as private and custom trip typically are. Patagonia season is from October through April. September is pre-season and can still be very cold and maybe snow. Trails Maybe snow covered. Many hotels close during the off season, so we may run into availability issues. Most hikes are at least 3 miles and a max of 12 miles per day. I am not sure OneSeed will be a good fit for what you are looking for.

    • M

      Megan

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      If I go to Torres del Paine I will likely do it independently, since most tours involve trekking and hiking. I'm 70 y/o and not as mobile as I used to be. Unless there is a tour designed for seniors, I will probably go on my own.

    • OneSeed ExpeditionsOperatorWritten June 2024

      We do not offer an itinerary that does not involve trekking, but there are many operators in Patagonia and many companies offer less active itineraries. The team at TourRadar may be able to recommend an operator better suited to your needs.
