Not to be missed

Beautiful and unforgettable experience. They pick you up from your hotel and then during the trip a very prepared and very kind guide explains everything about El Calafate , the steppe , the fauna and the park. Visit to the glacier with excellent explanation and then free time. Early afternoon boat ride through the icebergs and approaching the glacier. Walk to go touch the glacier and stroke of luck we saw live a very large piece of ice break off and fall into the water. On return bar service and chocolates offered. Beautiful and super recommended

Tour gets better and...

Tour gets better and better as the day goes on. Get your smiles ready. The smaller boats are more fun. Be careful not to run out of film before you get to the closest balcony!

Review

The glacier is amazing and I’m glad I saw it but I wouldn’t go with this company. The tour is advertised as beginning at 8am and my ticket said 8am but they did not pick me up until 11:15. That should be listed clearly on the site. They also did not have English speaking guides. You will join a megabus of tourists.
