    An Unforgettable Day at Perito Moreno!

    We had an absolutely incredible day trip from El Calafate to the Perito Moreno Glacier with 'Patagonia Dreams.' The entire tour was perfectly timed, allowing us 3 hours to explore the breathtaking glacier walkways at our own pace. The 'crowning glory' was the boat trip at the end, which took us right up to the massive glacier wall—simply stunning! A huge thank you to our driver, Claudio, for the smooth ride, and especially to our guide, Micaela. Her English was excellent, and she provided great insights throughout the day. If you want a seamless and awe-inspiring experience, I highly recommend this team!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! An unforgettable day at Perito Moreno is exactly what we promise — happy we delivered it for you. Come back for the Minitrekking or the Glaciares Gourmet navigation. Patagonia Dreams — El Calafate

    Overpriced

    Literally tour was just pick you up and drop you off at the glacier. Little information by the guide nothing that you can't read on internet and then drop you off at the glacier and give you three and a half hours to walk around. In my opinion rip off overpriced tour. Guide obviously prefer people who speak Spanish so on the way back he was chatting with some of his new "friends" and didn't give us that much informations. Take a bus or taxi

    Great experience and professional staff

    Great trip, the guide was very good, his explanations were thorough and super kind. He made sure that everyone was comfortable and answer all our questions if any. The driver drove all the way in safety at all times. The agents were always reachable via whatsapp and they were very professionals. They answered all our questions via messages in a quickly manner. Definitely I recommend this trip, the boat experience was one of the most stunning experiences I have ever had (I’ve visited around ~20 countries)

    Great experience all...

    Great experience all around with guide Daniela and driver Sebastian! Breathtaking scenery, smooth logistics, tour in English and Spanish, amazing boat ride and great walkways for hike. Was a privilege to see the glacier and its natural beauty. Even saw a iceberg fall off! Recommend to anyone.

    Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier cost?

    +

    Prices start at $66 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 Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier 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 Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 23 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 Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier?

    +

    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 Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier 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 Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier?

    +

    Around 8 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 Visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier 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.
