About this experience

You’ll cruise the imposing Argentinian Lake, surrounded by majestic landscapes and unique views that anticipate an unforgettable experience. More intense and challenging than the traditional Minitrekking, the glacier hike will allow you to explore deep crevasses, crystal clear lagoons and amazing ice formations such as seracs. With crampons on your feet, you’ll walk through the heart of the glacier, visit a waterfall and close the adventure with a toast on board during the boat return. This experience is designed for those who seek closer contact with nature and want to live a demanding and off-the-beaten-beaten-path. Whether you’ve already explored the glacier in a traditional way or just want to take your adventurous spirit one step further, this challenge will allow you to push your boundaries and enjoy one of the most striking landscapes in Patagonia.

What you'll see and do

  2. After an hour of travel aboard our transport, we will reach the boarding dock at the port "Under Shadows".

  3. Upon reaching the opposite shore, we will disembark in a private sector where our bilingual mountain guides will provide the necessary directions to begin the journey to the edge of the glacier. Once on the ice, we will place crampons to ensure a comfortable and safe walk. The crossing lasts approximately three hours, traveling moraine and ice in a more demanding circuit than traditional Minitrekking, with longer distance and slopes. During the tour we will discover streams, lagoons, cracks and spectacular ice formations of a deep blue. We will also visit a waterfall near the glacier and close with a toast on board, with whiskey served on ice extracted from Perito Moreno. Finally, we will return by boat to the port Bajo de las Sombras. To complete the day, you will enjoy free time to have lunch and walk the walkways, perfect to admire the glacier from different angles and capture spectacular photos.

Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.

How much does Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking cost?

+

Prices start at $459 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 Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking take?

+

Plan for about 10 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 Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 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 Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking?

+

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 Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking?

+

Around 0 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Expert Moreno Glacier Extended MiniTrekking 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.
