Tour Options from/to your Ship docked at San Antonio.
Feel free to combine several San Antonio visits and experiences below, just let us know which:
- Explore the coastline of this part of Chile, including the largest swimming pool in the world
- Visit Isla Negra and view the house and museum dedicated to Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
- Discover the traditional Chilean town of Lo Abarca with its picturesque architecture
- Enjoy a ceramic-making workshop in Pomaire, a village that specializes in this art
- Visit a winery or two in either the San Antonio or Casablanca Valley, with tastings of course
- Enjoy lunch at a winery or at a local restaurant along the San Antonio coast or in Pomaire
- City tour of Santiago either at the start or the end of your private transfer
Important: It is possible to visit Valparaiso from San Antonio but please bear in mind that it is quite a detour on the standard route. If you have several hours available then we can arrange this en route to your ship or Santiago.
Our San Antonio highlights tour lets you delve into the cultural riches of the undiscovered ‘Coast of Poets’, including a visit to the iconic house of Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda at Isla Negra. We also believe that you shouldn’t come to one of the world’s finest wine regions without including a visit to an award-winning Chilean winery.
Many cruise tours overlook the region surrounding port, instead preferring to bus people into Santiago (a 4-hour round-trip) for a whistle-stop overview of the Chilean capital. We believe that there is a far more relaxing and interesting day to be had with this original tour exploring the ‘real’ Chile.
About San Antonio Port:
The largest container port in all of Chile, San Antonio is a working port in which cruise ships are very much in the minority. Your ship will always dock alongside a wharf, from where you will be transported by internal bus to the ‘DP World’ passenger terminal. Tour staff from Shore Excursions Chile will be waiting for you inside the terminal, where there are also restrooms and a few limited shopping options.
