This tour is the best way to get up-close and personal with some of Patagonia’s most spectacular glaciers. This is also an ideal tour for people who stay a little time in El Calafate and who want to enjoy the wonders of Patagonia. Experience the frozen magic of Lake Argentino and the magnificent famous glaciers such as Seco, Spegazzini, Upsala and of course the Perito Moreno on our full-day tour to the Los Glaciares national park from El Calafate. We’ll begin our tour by picking you up directly from your hotel at around 7:30 AM. We’ll then travel around 45km along Ruta 11 and towards the Los Glaciares national park. At around 9:00 AM, after paying the national park entry fees, we’ll reach the Puerto Privado de Punta Bandera. You’ll get a quick safety talk and briefing on where we’re going to sail before we hop on a comfortable, modern boat around 10:30 AM. We’ll then make our way past towering icebergs towards Upsala glacier. As we sail along Brazo Upsala, a canal in Argentino lake, we’ll get some incredible views of Spegazzini, the tallest glacier in the area which sits at 135m tall. We’ll then sail on towards Seco glacier, seeing other little rivers and icebergs. We’ll then head back to the North Face of Perito Moreno to enjoy one of the most beautiful wonders of Argentina, after what we’ll have some free time on the Perito Moreno walkways. At around 18:00, we’ll start the way back to the hotels.

Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet?
+
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 Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet?
+
Around 3 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experiencia Glaciares Gourmet 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 with Navigation from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari, Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River 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.
