    90 minutes
  • Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina
    The adventure begins! At 8:30 a.m., boarding begins. The large catamaran have four outdoor decks, so that you can comfortably observe the spectacular scenery of Lake Argentino.

    30 minutes
  • Upsala Glacier, El Calafate, Argentina
    At 9 a.m. the catamaran departs and in a few minutes you will find the largest ice floes in the park, up to four times bigger than the ship itself! Upsala is the second largest glacier in South America. The calving is so enormous, that for safety reasons the ship will not get within 6 miles (10 kilometers) of it, yet it will still look immense. You will see floating ice of such an intense blue color that it will seem illuminated. Every time the catamaran approaches the wall of a glacier or a large iceberg, the captain will move the boat so that it can be seen perfectly from the inside as well as from any of the decks, so that you can enjoy them wherever you are.
    180 minutes
  • Glaciar Seco, Argentina
    You will continue navigating and you will come across the curious hanging glaciers. These are the Heim and Seco glaciers, which are named so because of their hanging from the mountain without touching the water of Lake Argentino.
    60 minutes
  • Bahía las Vacas Puesto las vacas, Z9405, Santa Cruz, Argentina
    Silence of engines. You will disembark at Puesto de las Vacas and take a quiet walk coordinated by the team of guides. El Puesto de las Vacas is an old Patagonian "estancia" located in the heart of the National Park. Here you will find horses, old houses, and other creations of the pioneers of Patagonia. Enjoy this experience while the guides explain the history of this unusual place.
    60 minutes
  • Glaciar Spegazzini, Santa Cruz Province, Argentinië
    The Speggazzini Glacier is impressive wherever you look. The part that overhangs the lake has a height of 425 feet (130 m). It is almost twice as high as the Perito Moreno Glacier. If the cold makes you hungry, this is your moment: lunch time! Get ready to taste a Patagonian lamb sandwich accompanied by baked vegetables and a drink (vegetarian option available).
    120 minutes
  • Sendero Valle Del Rio Lacteo Y Laguna De Los Tempanos, Argentina
    Full belly, happy heart: the boat tour continues through the Canal de Los Témpanos until reaching the northern part of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

    If you're planning a trip to El Calafate this is a must-do activity that combines awe-inspiring natural beauty with comfort and excellent service. You get a chance to view all five iconic glaciers—Upsala, Spegazzini, Perito Moreno, Heim, and Seco in one day. Views were breathtaking and onboard commentary (done in both Spanish and English) provided great insights. This tour is incredibly well-organized, with plenty of time to enjoy each location. We chose an option with transfers and disembark at Perito Moreno and pick up and transfers were seamless. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Patagonia!

    Bellísimas vistas de los paisajes y muy buena oportunidad de pasar una gran experiencia en los glaciares. Excelente el servicio de transportación y logística Desde nuestro hotel. Recomendable para familias. Cabe mencionar áreas a mejorar: La guía del barco fría, no da instrucciones, sino que da ordenes. No amable. El tiempo del recorrido es muy largo y puede convertirse en algo tedioso, podrían ajustarse eliminando dos horas de recorrido. Y lo más importante, NO ACEPTAN TARJETA DE CRÉDITO a bordo y no lo avisan antes. No llevábamos efectivo suficiente y no podíamos comprar nada en la cafetería por tantas horas, y tampoco aceptan tarjeta en las fotografías ni ningún otro servicio!! Tomando en cuenta que somos turistas. Además de que esa venta a bordo la pierden… !!! Pierden el ingreso. Entiendo que no hay señal celular para la terminal punto de venta, al estar dentro del parque nacional, pero perfectamente podrían organizar las compras antes de perder la señal… o abrir una cuenta al pasajero o mínimo avisar antes. Y por último lo de “gourmet” no es así. Es un box lunch con un sándwich y un postre. Recomiendo entonces que mejor lleve usted su comida. Y ahorre ese gasto.
