Beautiful experience
Loved.....very comfortable beautiful tour. You have drinks and patties to buy if not contrast with food inside the boat. Divine everything. It is worth taking the excursion with them.

If you go to Perito Moreno you can not leave without knowing the rest
A unique experience worth what it costs. Essential to know the glaciers. If you go to Perito Moreno you can't leave without knowing the rest. The food is not worth it.
Response from the operator: muchas gracias

Unforgettable experience, amazing ride!
All wonderful! Unmatched tour, one surprise better than the other, all the time. Super attentive staff and great ship. The lunch is a sandwich, but it was very good. They give 3 sandwich options for people to choose one. There's a bar on the ship and the bathrooms were clean. The ship was full, but we were able to arrive early and sit by the window. Both from the window and outside it was possible to see everything perfectly. The day was beautiful, it was an incredible experience! I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: muchas gracias

Just another average cruise.
It is just another average cruise but it is a costly cruise. Not really super and only the price of the cruise is really high.

"Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic) cost?
+
Prices start at $375 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 "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic) take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 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 "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic)?
+
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 "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic)?
+
Around 6 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does "Glaciares Gourmet" - Maria Turquesa Cruiser Navigation (classic) 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.
