Great experience: do the boat tour + walkways!
Awesome experience. Even though we've seen other glaciers before, this was still a great experience. Definitely take the boat trip. The views from the walkways is great, but the glacier has retreated a long way and the boat gets you up close to the icebergs and close enough to get a solid sense of how massive the glacier truly is. Doing both made this a wonderful day trip.

A piece of heaven
Wow, what an amazing day at Perito Moreno Glacier. The journey there was just as spectacular, with such scenic views along the way. Seeing the glacier up close was absolutely breathtaking. I was also fortunate enough to witness a calving, which was incredible to see in person. It truly felt like something straight out of National Geographic. Our guide and driver were both so friendly and welcoming throughout the day. The guide was full of interesting information, and his passion and love for the area were so evident in the way he shared every story and detail. It made the entire experience even more memorable. An unforgettable experience in every way.

Magnificient Perito Moreno
We were picked up from our accommodation and taken to Los Glacieres National Park. You need to purchase the admission ticket on your own from the park website (not included in the tour price). At the park, you are given freedom to explore Perito Moreno at your own pace using the boardwalks. The glacier is absolutely wonderful and we could just sit there for hours and admire its beauty. There's time to order and eat lunch at the cafeteria (but rather expensive) and afterwards, we were taken back to our accommodation.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 85 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 Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel?
+
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 Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel?
+
Around 30 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, with guide and transfer to / from the hotel 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 Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari. 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.
