Fun in Perito Moreno!
Pick up right on time! Alejandro our guide, was amazing!! Very knowledgable, shared history along the way, made it fun not boring. The whole experience was great! Totally worth it
Response from the operator: Thank you, Ana, for sharing your experience! The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of Patagonia’s absolute must-see experiences, and having someone who knows the region and can bring its history to life makes the day even more interesting. Thank you especially for highlighting Alejandro’s work. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to make the explanations enjoyable reflect the kind of local team we choose to work with in El Calafate: people who truly love what they do and know how to share it. For more than 22 years, we’ve been creating experiences in Patagonia with that same philosophy: knowledgeable local teams, close attention, and a genuine passion for the places we share. Thank you for choosing us and for saying it was totally worth it! Warm regards, Mara

Experience a natural wonder
Perito Moreno Glacier is truly awesome. You can't miss it on a trip to El Calafate. The tour picked up on time and spent three hours in the park. It was enough time to go on the one hour boat, eat lunch, and walk on the elevated walkways.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Clinton, for sharing your experience! The Perito Moreno Glacier is absolutely a must-see when visiting El Calafate, and we’re glad you were able to enjoy it from the walkways, the boat navigation, and with enough time for lunch during the visit. That combination gives a very complete experience of the glacier, from different points of view and at a comfortable pace. For more than 22 years, we’ve been creating experiences in Patagonia together with local teams who love what they do and know how to help travelers make the most of places like this. Thank you for taking the time to share your review. Warm regards, Mara

Great trip to see glacier
The tour was vey good. I was the only English speaking passenger but our guide was very patient and explained everything in English. The optional boat ride was fun, but if you do not have mobility issues, I suggest you just hike the same portion of the glacier that the boat navigates to. The photos of the boat tour are not too accurate because it looks like the boat really gets close to the glacier, but it does not. It is still a distance away but you can always zoom in. Spectacular! I liked the yellow portion of the walkway, got to see another side of the glacier. We had a wonderful Guide, Rebecca, and great driver, Lucas.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Theresa, for sharing such a detailed experience from our visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier. We especially appreciate your words about our guide Rebecca and our driver Lucas. Accompanying travelers from different parts of the world — and making sure everyone can fully enjoy and understand the experience — is a very important part of how our local teams work in Patagonia. It’s also great to read that you explored different sections of the walkways and enjoyed seeing the glacier from multiple perspectives. For more than 22 years, we’ve been creating experiences in Patagonia together with local teams who truly love what they do and enjoy sharing these landscapes every day. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and recommendations with future travelers. Warm regards!! Mara

Beautiful scenery
The glacier is at a national park which you have to pay to enter. There is several stops. The first one you’re getting on the boat to see the glacier. Then the second stop is a walk that you could take pictures with the glacier behind you. This last stop has a restaurant and convenience store.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience and for joining our visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier. Standing in front of the glacier is one of those moments that’s hard to describe until you experience it — the scale, the sounds of the ice, and the presence of the glacier make it truly unforgettable. It’s great that you experienced the glacier both from the walkways and from the boat — seeing it from those two angles is what really completes the moment and is something many travelers highlight after their visit. For more than 22 years, we’ve been welcoming travelers to Patagonia together with local teams who genuinely love what they do, sharing this place the way we live it every day. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Best regards, Mara.

The must do tour
Nothing can prepare you for the sight of the Glacier. It is truly inspiring. Nicholas our guide was able to explain the geology of the region and explain what we were seeing and hearing! Really appreciate both the time on the walkways and the boat. It gave us time to take it all in.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your experience and for joining our guided visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier. Seeing the glacier for the first time is indeed an impressive moment for many travelers, and the combination of the walkways and the boat navigation allows for a broader and more complete appreciation of its scale, movement, and presence. Thank you as well for highlighting the work of our guide Nicholas and his explanations about the geology of the region. Being able to understand what you are seeing and hearing in front of the glacier adds an especially meaningful dimension to the experience. For more than 21 years, we have been creating travel experiences in Patagonia, working together with local teams who truly love what they do and who share their knowledge and passion for this remarkable region. Thank you for taking the time to share your review. Best regards, Mara.

Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier 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 Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 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 Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier?
+
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 Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier 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 Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier?
+
Around 9 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 Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and 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 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.
