What you'll see and do

  1. Perito Moreno Glacier

    The best known and most impressive glacier in Los Glaciares National Park. This glacier shows a surprising and curious phenomenon, in which its great mass of ice continuously advances, causing the accumulation, rupture and detachment of gigantic blocks of ice on its 5 km wide front, located on the Canal de los Témpanos; that's where the numerous ice fragments of the glacier sail. The front of the glacier exceeds 60 meters above the water at its maximum height, from where pieces of various sizes fall continuously, producing a stridency comparable to the sound of thunder.

    Upon reaching the Perito Moreno Glacier, we will cross the walkways that have balconies at different levels and angles connected by paths and stairways which can be covered in its entirety during the excursion and thus we will be able to appreciate this impressive and wonderful glacier from different points.

Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with optional Navigation: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with optional Navigation cost?

+

Prices start at $85 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 Full Day Tour with optional 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 Full Day Tour with optional Navigation worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 251 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with optional 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 Full Day Tour with optional 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 Full Day Tour with optional Navigation?

+

Around 88 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 Full Day Tour with optional 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 Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari, Kayak Full-Day Activity in La Leona River from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier with Navigation from El Calafate. 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.
