Perito Moreno Glacier
After walking for about 30 minutes, always with a view of the southern side of the glacier just in case there were thunderous ice calvings, and after reaching the ice, you’ll have an unforgettable experience. At that point, you’ll also enjoy different and intense shades of blue and white colors, with capricious forms. Take your time to capture the beauty with plenty of photographs, creating memories to treasure for a lifetime. Afterward, accompanied by our seasoned guide, you'll return to the embarkation point, traversing a natural terrain of sand and stones, encountering gentle slopes and stairs along the way. This scenic 1.5-kilometer walk hugs the lakeshore, offering glimpses of the lush greenwood and panoramic views of the magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier, making it an enchanting experience for the entire family to savor together.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in El Calafate usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in El Calafate is not rushed.
Is Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in El Calafate can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in El Calafate and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central El Calafate within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in El Calafate?
+
On Outty we rank every El Calafate experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari, Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit El Calafate?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in El Calafate?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
