    Great views of a Glacier

    The views of the glacier are amazing and the place is a must to visit, difficult to describe the experience, just bring something to eat as there is nothing there and you will be hungry after all the walking

    Not recommended

    It is extremely disappointing because they have a hard time, at no time what they sell, on their website they offer a boat for 28 people when that no longer does, they are catamarans, what you can get is to pass to a VIP area but not at all is to have the boat free, for a third of what they were paid could have been obtained directly in Calafate. When I got to the boat that is a catamaran I didn’t even have VIP access because from the agency offices they just passed it as normal charging. I found it more expensive to have to mark them to fix that! I had to call twice! In the first one I just didn't know what to do Miss! Just speechless! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY THE RIDE BY THIS MEANS! They can buy it arriving in Calafate and much cheaper.

    Response from the operator: Estimada, Lamentamos muchísimo los inconvenientes ocurridos en su excursión. Efectivamente hubo un error en la plataforma donde usted hizo la reserva. La agencia online no actualizó la información del tour y de la embarcación embarcación por lo que quedó con el descriptivo anterior. Por nuestra parte, habíamos enviado todos los detalles actualizados a cada uno de nuestros clientes a fin de que actualicen sus sitios web de compras. Lamentamos muchísimo que no haya recibido la información correcta. Sin embargo, en caso de volver a nuestro país con gusto nos gustaría recibirla nuevamente para que conozca la calidad de nuestras actividades. Agradecemos sus comentarios ya que nos ayudan a mejorar nuestros servicios y el de nuestros asociados. Saludos cordiales, Tangol Agencia de Viajes

    Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at $503 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 Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 36 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in El Calafate, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride?

    +

    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 Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride?

    +

    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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride 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 Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Bilingual guide; Gourmet Lunch (lunch box or premium lunch, according to the selected option); and Argentino Lake Navigation. Not included: National Park Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 55 listed pickup locations in and around El Calafate. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride 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 Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride?

    +

    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.

    Is Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Unique Gourmet Experience - Perito Moreno Glacier Boat Ride if the weather is bad?

    +
