Fairly comfortable ride from the Punta Arenas airport to Puerto Natales, but be warned that masks are not required and many of the locals do not wear masks, even when they are sick and coughing on the entire ride.
Great service. They give tags for luggage going into the bus bottom, and the bus even has a door separating the driver from the passengers for maximum air conditioning efficiency. Bus itself is clean and people are unhurried - on time and with enough care that the trip is enjoyable.
We had left our passport pouch with money, passports, and credit cards on the bus. We realized this after we checked in to the hotel. We went back to Bus -Sur office and got our belongings from the driver. We are grateful to the driver and Bus-Sur service.
It seems that the bus is late regularly on this route, which is good in principle. But the tickets state to be early at the bus stop by 20 Minutes, which made me wait for the bus for one hour. Also at PUQ there is no possibility to reach Bus SUR staff or get information on bus timelines. Altogether this made me quite worried if my bus would come at all... and most busses were fully booked that day, so no chance to simply take another later connection...
Lovely staff! Very safety oriented - insisted on seatbelts... that was a first! They also collected trash and arranged bus in an orderly fashion before arrival. Very clean. And when there were lots of sheep in the road, they escorted some tourists outside to get some photos. No USB ports.
The only thing I did not like was that when unloading luggage from the bus, the personel put backpacks onto ground despite seeing it was soaking wet from heavy rain.
My departure time was 2:00 pm. I would like to take a bus to departure at 12:46 pm. So l asked the counter to change the ticket. She was willing to change with smile. It was good memory in Punta Arenas. Thanks for Bur Sur.
Excellent bus service - we were picked up at the Puntas Arenas airport and travelled to Puerto Natales. A little bit confusing about the departure time - I believe the bus leaves the downtown station in Puntas Arenas before traveling to the Puntas Arenas airport. The listed departure time likely refects the departure from Puntas Arenas downtown station (and not the airport)
It would be helpful to customers boarding at the airport to know what time the bus would be arriving - three of us all believed our bus would arrive at the airport at 1501 but that is the time it leaves Punta Arenas, not the time it arrives at the airport. Otherwise, good service.
When I wrote email to ask if I can use the ticket for later timing due to flight delay, the office staff confirmed no problem. I almost cannot get on the later timing bus cause I have missed my the timing due to my flight delayed for 4 hours! I have to beg the driver to take me and I was going to pay him the full fare as my original ticket that I bought online has lapsed.
Decent cheap bus between Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales. Did arrive late and bus wasnt the best conditions but it was a very affordable travel option so would use again.
Waited a very long time, bus was late. Then there had to be people standing since there were not enough seats. Seems as though the bus was so late that it overlapped with the next one, so there was extra people. Not good to have someone standing
