Isla Rey Jorge has the shortest straight line to Muelle Prat on our map, and distance is all it scores. By our map it’s about 400 m from the pier, and its Hotels.com listing agrees on the port.
The same listing describes a free buffet breakfast, a lunch restaurant, a pub, free parking and a paid airport shuttle. We couldn’t read the hotel’s own site, though, and listings don’t earn points.
Confirm the breakfast with the hotel itself — it’s the one perk that would move it up.
Book it if
- You want the shortest walk down to Muelle Prat on our map
- A paid airport shuttle beats hailing a taxi
Look elsewhere if
- You want facts from the hotel itself
- You want dinner in the building
- You’re traveling with a pet
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Isla Rey Jorge publishes and our own map estimates.
The restaurant serves lunch, per Hotels.com, so dinner is out in town — then El Galeón pub downstairs, if the listing is right.
No ride to the pier is listed, and the listing puts the port about a 5-minute walk away (0.4 km). With expedition bags, a taxi is still the easy way.
Hotels.com lists a free buffet breakfast from 7 to 10 — a listing’s word, so it doesn’t score.
Hotels.com puts the port about 400 m away; by our map Muelle Prat is about 400 m in a straight line. Walk down light, or take a taxi with the bags.
Hotels.com lists free on-site parking for your stay — though nothing says a car can stay while you sail.
Night-Before Score: 30 of 100
Every point comes from our map pins and, for the facts shown, its Hotels.com listing, which earns no points (the hotel’s own site redirected in a loop for us); the hub explains how the Night-Before Score works.
Getting here, and on to the ship

Hotels.com lists an airport shuttle for an extra charge, with no price published. It puts the airport about 30 minutes away by car.
No ride to the pier is listed, and the listing puts the port about a 5-minute walk away (0.4 km). With expedition bags, a taxi is still the easy way.
From PUQ without a hotel shuttle
No fare is published by the airport or an operator that we could find. Three unofficial guides put a shared van at about CLP 5,000 to 6,000 a head and a taxi at about CLP 10,000 to 13,000. There’s no direct city bus, though Bus-Sur’s Natales buses stop at the airport if you ask when you buy the ticket, per one of those guides. Antarctica21 and Quark include the group transfer from the airport on Day 1, so check your documents first. The airport page has what is and isn’t published.
Hotels.com lists free on-site parking for your stay — though nothing says a car can stay while you sail.
Parking for your stay: Free on site, per Hotels.com.

Flying in the morning you sail? Australis checks in from 13:00 to 17:00, and both air-cruise lines want you in town by early afternoon; the airport page has the landing check.
Which quay
Muelle PratMeasured to Muelle Prat, where Australis checks you in from 13:00 to 17:00 and boards at 18:00, Isla Rey Jorge is about 400 m away in a straight line. Flying the Drake with Antarctica21 or Quark instead? Then the pier doesn’t matter — your day starts at the operator’s briefing in town and ends at the airport. The Punta Arenas cruise guide keeps the two apart.
