These people are dishonest
Having written a review a few days ago and was not able to get it published. They charge you double than the standard rate if you book through a local company. Please look for other websites as the tour will only cost your ARS4000= USD $100. I know they have to make money but this is a rip off. Even worse was that they are trying to block my comment. When you are on board, beware of the photographers as they will ask you to pay for a different rate after you agreed on the prices at the first place and have the photos taken. If you dare to block my comment again, I will go through other channel to complain on you
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Jackson: The one who is being dishonest in this comment is you. It is enough to read the other three opinions on Trip Advisor of other passengers who enjoyed this same tour. It is true that if you buy the direct tour in Calafate it is cheaper, but nobody guarantees your place or your reservation, it does not cost twice if it can cost 25% more, but we do all the work so that you when you arrive to the destination have your reservation confirmed. Your comment is only to defame our firm and we will not allow it. Say dishonest to people who do not even know and who work honestly so that our clients have an excellent stay.

Breathtaking glacier ice boat trip in Argentina
Doesn't matter if you are familiar with snow or have already seen glaciers. This experience is exhilarating. The boat leaves very early, rain or shine and from the very first few minutes of navigating, you are exposed to beautiful scenes you never expected to see. You will experience ALL the weather conditions possible, from one extreme to the other so dress for the beach and layer with T-shirts, turtlenecks, scarves, windbreakers and a super warm feather parka. Throw in a raincoat in your pocket. Don't be afraid to stay outside and forget the elite Captain's cabin. Its a waste of time and money. Everybody in there ends up outside on the bridge. Bring a lunch and a thermos of hot beverage. Make sure your photography equipment is secured against the searing wind or rain. Bring extra batteries! I have never seen such blues and turquoises in my life. When you think you've seen it all, it has just begun!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the beautiful description of your experience at Calafate! And thank you for trusting us to take you to this wonderful place. Really nice description for people who still did not had the chance to go, it will be a great motivaron. Thanks a lot for coming!

Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for El Calafate.
How much does Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy cost?
+
Prices start at $500 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 Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy 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 Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy?
+
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 Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy 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 Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy?
+
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 Night trekking in Chalten Sunrise experience at Fitz Roy 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.
