    Single Traveller being charged Double

    I am a single traveller. When I booked this activity, the price was the same as two persons. However, the operator put me on a double kayak with another single traveller. It was unreasonable to charge me double unless I was put on a single or double kayak on my own or paddling with the guide. The operator argued that the price was for one person, by covering their eyes on the fact that it was equal to the price for 2 persons. This operator (Ripio Turismo or Miloutdoor) is not an honest company.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your message. The price for one person, or two is basically the same. A small difference is due to the price of the transfers. So, you were charged for one person. Regarding the kayaks, we inform in the product details, that kayaks are double. And all the kayak are doubles, it means no option of single kayak for passengers. The only with single kayak is the guide for security reasons. And it is not for our decision or provider decision, it´s a regulation from the national park. It´s not possible to do single kayaking in the Perito Moreno Glacier. We are a honest company. So let me not agreed with you. We have 23 years in the travel industry. We have delivered on the promised content of the product. Please read carefully the general conditions, prices and equipment provided for each activity you book. I hope you enjoyed this amazing activity of kayaking in front of Perito Moreno Glacier. It´s an amazing experience to be enjoyed. Regards, RAmiro

    Fun time! FOLLOW THE RULES

    The company was professional and protective of their clients. UNfortunately, there will always be one or two CLIENTS who won't follow the rules endangering themselves because of their stupid actions. A couple did everything they were told not to do and eventually tipped over in the ice cold water. The rescue boat is a zodiac with a motor and had them out within 2 minutes. This famous glacier calves almost EVERY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY breaking off icebergs that can be the size of multi-story buildings. On top of that, the infamous Patagonia winds could kick up to 30 knots per hr. Imagine that pushing you towards the glacier and you don't have any experience paddling? I've been kayaking for decades and this was a great albeit short paddle. They provide everything you need: fantastic boats, paddles, dry suit and thermal underwear, boots. They even take many many pictures on their GoPros which are shared for free because NO cell phones are allowed. If you're taking selfies, you're not paying attention. What's so ridiculous was that the guy who tipped over actually thought he was "cool" that he did so! Take it from an experienced paddler: people who swim because of stupid actions are not respected nor are they cool. Don't be that person. Just go out there, paddle safely and have a great time. RESPECT YOUR GUIDES

    Perito Moreno Glacier Kayak Tour including Transportation: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Perito Moreno Glacier Kayak Tour including Transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $705 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 Kayak Tour including Transportation 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 Kayak Tour including Transportation worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 31 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Perito Moreno Glacier Kayak Tour including Transportation?

    +

    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 Perito Moreno Glacier Kayak Tour including Transportation 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 Kayak Tour including Transportation?

    +

    Around 1 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 Kayak Tour including Transportation 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 Kayak Tour including Transportation?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Full kayaking gear: Dry suit (Gore-Tex), Thermal, Boots, gloves, life jacket; Pictures of the day; 1,5 hours kayaking; and Snacks. Not included: Entrance fee to Los Glaciares National Park: Excluded. Clients are required to bring cash. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Perito Moreno Glacier Kayak Tour including Transportation offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Perito Moreno Glacier Kayak Tour including Transportation?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
