A trip to remember

Long but unforgettable day! They picked us up at 7:30 at the hotel. At 9:00 we boarded. Entering the park is cumbersome and slow. And if the weather is bad, it is worse. It is outdoors and the wind hits you. Once on board, they welcome you with breakfast. The navigation is extremely calm, touring Lake Argentino and its glaciers. It gets very close to the Spegazzini and you see the Upsala from afar for safety reasons. The 4-course lunch is very good, accompanied by a delicious wine. The arrival at Perito Moreno is spectacular. The boat gets very close to the north wall, achieving views to remember. The return to the port is at 5:00 PM with a backpack full of memories.

Unmissable

Very comfortable boat, it wasn't crowded and the snack box served was very good. About the tour itself, it is unmissable. Seeing the glaciers up close is truly a spectacle. And this boat, in particular, also gets close to Perito Moreno. So, replace the nautical safari. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

The best way to discover the Los Glaciares National Park

We chose the gourmet navigation option with disembarkation. It is not the cheapest of the excursions but it is worth every euro. The boat is comfortable, the staff is fantastic. Thanks to the guides, greetings to Facundo, to Claudia, to Tiziana, to Captain Pablo, everyone strove for the experience to be wonderful with magnificent explanations and constant details. The captain was always looking for the best view so that our experience would be optimal. The views from the boat are spectacular, the landscape is unique on the planet, and the walk along the walkways after disembarking showed us some wonderful views of the Perito Moreno glacier. The Wi-Fi on the bus back home was appreciated. Essential.

A must-see in Calafate. Sail through all the glaciers.

A very nice experience, the only way to get to know other glaciers and navigate among icebergs. The boat is in good condition, the guides and staff are very attentive and enthusiastic. The food is very good, enjoyed comfortably while navigating. It is unmissable.

An unforgettable experience

A very beautiful day (with the sun) filled with magnificent landscapes. Pleasant sailing, the boat is comfortable (the toilets are clean). I chose lunchbox for lunch (excellent) but you can also take your own picnic. Admission to the park can be purchased on site (visa or cash). Do not hesitate to take the option with the walkway to Perito Moreno because you will have more time to admire the spectacle of this majestic glacier. I recommend this day without hesitation.

The best way to see the glaciers of El Calafate.

The best way to see the glaciers of El Calafate. calmly and few people. The ship very well put.. only 18 cabins, less than 40 passengers. Very informative talks and video presentations (bravo Stella). Very attentive crew. Very good food but wouldn't say 'gourmet' (dried pork for big dinner or salmon, typical breakfast buffet, etc). Good wines and cava. also liked that for lunch the boat stood in front of the glacier all the time slowly turning. The assigned room (''deluxe' - 1st level-least expensive) turned out to be above the engines/generator and the floor of the room was warm and also the room, plus a noise and vibration difficult to bear. you have to stay on 2nd level, more expensive.
