Perito Moreno Glacier
The Nautical Safari is an unforgettable experience in front of the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier. For one hour, the boat sails from Brazo Rico to the southern end of the Icebergs Channel, offering a unique and unmatched perspective of the glacier. Its towering 60-meter walls are as impressive as the glacier’s distinctive blue hue, the result of a rare optical effect. The thunderous sound of ice breaking is a natural concert that stirs the soul. The captain pauses for photos—but also for silence, inviting you to disconnect and feel the overwhelming power of nature. Icebergs floating on Lake Argentino complete this breathtaking scene.

Argentina in 20 days
We just returned from a 20-day trip through Argentina with One Way, who took care of organizing all our activities and transfers. From the planning phase, communication was super fast and agile; they resolved each of our questions with detailed information instantly. Once at the destination, the service was very good. During the trip, they followed up daily, always confirming schedules, itineraries, and assigned guides for us. I especially highlight their responsiveness: when we needed to make a last-minute change in the middle of the trip, they adapted it quickly and without any problem. Congratulations to the entire team for their professionalism and service. We would repeat and travel with them again!
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias, Marta, por compartir tu experiencia y por confiar en One Way para un viaje tan especial! 😊 Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste de los 20 días recorriendo Argentina y que tanto la planificación como el acompañamiento durante el viaje estuvieron a la altura de tus expectativas. Para todo el equipo es muy importante poder estar presentes en cada etapa del viaje, desde los primeros preparativos hasta el regreso a casa, y especialmente poder brindar una respuesta rápida y flexible cuando surgen cambios o imprevistos. Ha sido un verdadero placer acompañarlos en esta aventura por Argentina. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirlos muy pronto para seguir descubriendo juntos nuevos destinos! ¡Un enorme abrazo de parte de todo el equipo de One Way!

Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier cost?
+
Prices start at $1,915 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier?
+
Around 1 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 Buenos Aires 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 Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier 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 Buenos Aires 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 Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. 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 Buenos Aires?
+
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 Buenos Aires?
+
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.
What is included in Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier?
+
Included: 1 hour navigation; Lunch; Private guide; Entrance tickets to National Park; and Walk along the catwalks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Day Trip from Buenos Aires to Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
