Itinerary
We’ll kick off the Perito Moreno Glacier tour with pickup from your hotel in El Calafate. Once everyone is on board, we’ll make our way to Los Glaciares National Park. The adventure starts now!
Once we arrive at the national park, we’ll head straight to the Perito Moreno Glacier. As we walk, our guide will share fascinating insights about the glacier’s history, unique features, and the surrounding park it calls home.
When we arrive at the first viewpoint along the glacier walkways, the guide will show us a map and explain the different trails available so you can decide which route to explore first, at your own pace. Keep in mind that we’ll be spending lunchtime inside the park. We suggest bringing a picnic to enjoy with a view of the Perito Moreno Glacier, but if you prefer, there’s also a restaurant available within the park.
If you chose the option including boat tour, you’ll be transferred to Bajo las Sombras port, where you’ll board a boat for a one-hour cruise along the glacier’s edge, giving you an up-close view of this iconic glacier.
All good things must come to an end. Your guide will inform you when it’s time to return to the meeting point. Once everyone is back together, we’ll say farewell to the stunning views of Perito Moreno and take our private transport back to your hotel. We hope you enjoyed your Perito Moreno tour from El Calafate and look forward to joining you on your next adventure!

I’m very disappointed. I booked it to include the boat tour and my confirmation clearly says it’s included . I was told by my tour guide to buy new set of tickets at entrance and she will have your company help with the refund because there was a booking issue ( not my error ) when we got back after tour I was told it’s better if I reach out to company directly so I did but my refund was denied and they told me I booked incorrectly. I showed them my confirmation that says included but they didn’t care and told me I booked wrong .i showed them evidence that I didn’t and they kept repeating the same thing . Viator was also no help and also told me I was wrong . If they listed it wrong how is that my fault ? Additional $120 .

This was an excellent way to view Pietro Moreno glacier! The boat ride is a must in order to get a close up experience. Highly recommended!
