Navigering Alla glaciärer

Great boat trip! Staff, food and service was excellent! Good narrative about glaciers. Captain navigated boat to allow for views on all sides.

A tour that guarantees very beautiful landscapes! Porto, close to the Spegazzini Glacier, has a very good structure for you to have a meal, stroll on the beach and sit and admire the mountains and the lake.

This tour is unmissable. You see indescribable landscapes, the shining blue of the icebergs, the detachment of ice sheets, the contrast of the blue of the lake with the white of the ice... it's sensational!!!!

Buy your glacier cruise in El Calafate as soon as you arrive because the cruises sell out. There are a couple different glacier cruises. We took the Upsala, Spengazzini cruise which I highly recommend. We cruised Lago Argentina and up two of the arms. It was beautiful. The water was an unbelievable turquoise blue with floating ice bergs. After visiting one of the glacier up close you disembark on the shore for lunch. You can bring a lunch, purchase a hot lunch from the boat, or purchase food from the cafeteria overlooking the glacier. You can eat inside or on the deck overlooking the glacier. If you want to go in luxury you can purchase passage in the Captain’s cabin riding in a private room in the front of the boat with food and wine served throughout the cruise. We took my father and it was a perfect way for those who can’t go trekking to see the glaciers. Also, this cruise allowed us to see different glaciers other than Perito Merreno which we mini-trekked.

I don’t give it maximum score because unfortunately we had a rainy and very cloudy day, but it is still one of the most beautiful excursions in Calafate. We have to do it.

Unique and unrivalled experience of glacier navigation. It’s amazing to see the huge and majestic walls of ice up close, to appreciate their various colors, to hear their sounds as they fall, to feel in the middle of nature and its majesty. In our case we had very good weather and temperature but I suggest being prepared for the cold. During sailing a guide is responsible for recounting the particularities of the place. It is one of those experiences that you can not stop living!!! Unmissable.

I paid for the trip and got the 'confirmed' status. I've asked for - and received - the precise pickup time for our hotel. They asked for additional passenger data and thanked me for providing them with all they needed. Then, late afternoon right before the cruise, they sent me an email saying they have to cancel because they don't know where to pick us up from. All the despite the fact they got this information from Viator, set the precise pickup time and confirmed the completeness of data. A call to their office revealed that, apparently, they will not be running the cruise on Saturday. Calling their office, with one person talking loudly in the background and another person loudly whistling (seriously?!) in the background was a really bad experience. Trust me, you don't want to be doing all this last minute, in the middle of Patagonia, with spotty wifi/cell reception. I ended up going with another, reliable company for the short boat trip + boardwalks. It was great. Book one of these instead.

We never thought to see as much beauty as we did on this ride. The views are stunning. Tip: bring your own food for lunch.

Unique experience, is a wonderful place. Unique landscapes I love the Argentine South, an excursion you don’t have to miss

Spectacular tour, but price above the world average. Visit to glaciers, to the side of icebergs for photos, inclusive snack, mini treking, a real profitable day. Meanwhile, the price is above the world average of tours. The Argentine and Chilean themselves also found the tours in El Calafate very expensive.
