Great, easy way to see some of the most gorgeous views!

This boat tour was great! It's not a personalized tour like some of the other ones we did on the trip - it seems like a larger company and you go with a pretty big group. But we still had an amazing time. We had my mother-in-law with us who is 70 and has some trouble walking around for long periods of time. She had no issues with this trip though. You get to see some really beautiful spots. And they have a photographer on the trip that will take professional photos for you. Highly recommend the add on to Lagos Frias.

Great trip to start exploring patagonia

This is a really good trip with breathtaking views all day long. Frias lake and the view of the mountain surrounding the lake is hard to describe in words, we saw Tronador glacier from the boat. The views at Puerto Blest, specially from the restaurant while having lunch would stay in our memory lifelong. I highly recommend this trip.

Tour in Bariloche

Very nice walk, beautiful landscapes, worth thinking to buy the optional from the lake Frias. The ladder to the Los Cántaros waterfall has more than 750 steps to the top where the lake is, about 33 floors, up to the 1st mirador are 375, as each 4 steps has about 5 meters of rest, horizontal path without steps, at the right pace of each, you can go to at least the 1st mirante, but it is optional, if you can stay in the boat without climbing.

Bus and boat tour from Bariloche to Puerto Blest

Very expensive national park entrance especially for foreigners = 22600 Argentine Pesos. These are to be paid in addition to the (trip booking = (173 €). For Argentinians 5000 to 7000 pesos. Argentine pensioners don't have to pay anything Restaurant in Puerto Blest also very expensive.
