    Excellent

    An excellent trip, very well organised. They accommodated and helped with my last minute change of the meeting point The guide Katarina and the driver did have a great impact on the overall experience. The communication was very good. And we had enough time to enjoy the view of this awesome glacier.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re so glad we could assist with your last-minute change and that everything worked smoothly. Katarina and our driver will be happy to know they made a positive impact on your experience. It’s wonderful to hear you had enough time to truly enjoy the incredible glacier views. We hope to welcome you again in the future!

    Exceptional

    Our tour including tour leader and driver and schedule were so good. The only disappointment I had, the Aviator provided me tickets that mentioned our pick up time 8 am in front of hotel, but the tour did not arrive until 9:15 am. I noticed that tour was scheduled same time before; but I didn’t know why the Aviator did it wrong on tickets and did not notify me if there was any change.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. Glad to know you enjoyed it. Regarding the pickup time we send 2 messages to every customer informing that the exact pickup time will be provided to the hotel front desk on the previous day of the tour after 7.00 pm. Thank you again for choosing our tour!

    Glacier Trip

    Our guide Katerine and driver Nicolas were very professional and made sure everyone understood the tour briefing. She showed numerous pictures to aid in understanding Patagonia, wildlife and the glacier itself. Wonderful sunny day and the boat trip is fantastic!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear that Katerine and Nicolás were professional and helpful, and that you enjoyed the explanations, the sunny day, and the boat trip. We really appreciate you sharing your experience!

    Great tour!

    Just loved the footbridges and navigation. Both brought me closer to the glacier and we were lucky the sun was out and made everything sparkle more! The thing with this tour company is first they changed it to the afternoon instead of morning, then they told me they would pick me up at my accommodation…then they changed it and said I had to meet them 4 blocks from my place. So I went to the location 4 blocks from my place and they stopped at my place to look for me, then came to the place they told me I’d be picked up at 45 minutes after the time they told me. Also, they told me at 7 pm the night before that I needed to go pick up my park ticket from their office 6 blocks away. So, I don’t know if there is an organizational problem with the company or what? Once on the tour, the guide and driver were good and the tour was great.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your visit and good to know that you had a great tour with us.

    Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $240 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 Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation) take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation)?

    +

    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 Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation)?

    +

    Around 5 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Perito Moreno Glacier - CALAFATE (Footbridges and Navigation) 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.
