We will start our activity inside the Los Glaciares National Park, located 80 km from the city of El Calafate. The glaciers protected in this Park, generated centuries and even millennia ago, bear witness to the enormous masses of ice that dominated part of the planet during the last two million years and witnessed the birth of humanity. Los Glaciares National Park was created in 1937 and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981. Upon arrival at the Park, we will have the opportunity to see the magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier. Optionally, you can choose to sail by boat. This undoubtedly complements your visit to be dazzled by the imposingness of its landslides, not only from the height of the walkways, but now from lake level: the front of the Glacier oscillates between 40 and 80 meters high above the lake level.

    Great Tour, Incorrect Start Time

    The tour itself was very good, and the one-hour boat ride gave a different perspective of Perito Moreno than the walking areas. My issue was the booking. I purchased a 12:00 PM tour about six weeks in advance, but the afternoon before I was told the only departure was at 9:10 AM. I contacted Viator for help getting in touch with the tour provider, but they didn’t assist. I adjusted my plans and still had a good experience, but the tour should have been sold with the correct start time, and Viator should do a better job assisting customers when issues like this come up.

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the tours in Calafate =) If you visit Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, Dubai, or Thailand on your next trip, we’d be happy to help you again. Best regards, Guido – ParaViajantes Calafate

    Fantastic experience

    Really well done- guide was fantastic, as was the experience itself. Surpassed all expectations. It also helped that the weather cooperated and we had blue skies and clear visibility :)

    One of the best beautiful places I've ever seen

    I always heard about Perito Moreno glacier. It's not the same seeing photos than being there. For me, was an experience of a lifetime; how intense and powerful the nature can be. The trails to see it from a high view are impressive. But when you take the navigation tour to see it in front of you is another thing. Each tour complement each other. Simply beautiful and impressive,

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your comments and for trusting us. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tours in Patagonia Argentina!! For your next trip to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, or Dubai, you can count on us! =) Best regards, Guido. ParaViajantes Calafate

    Unlike anything else you’ve seen

    Our tour guide, Maria, was excellent! She was very friendly and fun to talk to. She was very informative and helpful. Perito Moreno is absolutely stunning. It is absolutely worth paying the extra for the boat ride as it is the only way to get very close to the glacier. Plus, you get a different perspective than being up on the walkway. I also recommend using the orange and red walkways as you get the full view. It is worth every penny. We even had some bad weather at first because it’s winter, but it calmed down and once the boat stopped, we could see everything clearly and with no complaints. Gorgeous in every way!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your comments and for the trust you have placed in us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tours in Patagonia Argentina! For your next trip to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic or Mexico count on us! =) Best regards, Guido. ParaViajantes Calafate

    A great experience

    The team of Carla the guide and Martin the driver was great. They picked us up from different hotels and were on time. Carla shared her knowledge of the area and was very helpful and kind. They took us to the entrance to the viewing balconies and recommended the better routes. We had enough time to walk around and we were picked up at the end of the tour there. Highly recommended.

    Perito Moreno Glacier Experience with Boat Navigation !!: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Perito Moreno Glacier Experience with Boat Navigation !! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 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 Experience with Boat Navigation !! take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Experience with Boat Navigation !! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 48 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 Experience with Boat 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 Experience with Boat Navigation !! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Perito Moreno Glacier Experience with Boat Navigation !!?

    +

    Around 17 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Perito Moreno Glacier Experience with Boat 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.

    What is included in Perito Moreno Glacier Experience with Boat Navigation !!?

    +

    Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; Insurance; and Access for people with reduced mobility. Not included: Food and drinks; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
