What are people saying about El Calafate

El Chalten Complete Experience Full Day Tour from El Calafate

Dale_H, Sept 2026

Full Day Tour to El Chaltén

We were very fortunate that our tour day was sunny and cloud-free, allowing us to get magnificent, clear views of the unique-looking peaks near El Chaltén. Our guide Carla presented us with interesting commentary during the journey, and our driver Hendri (sp?) made our journey safe. Carla stopped the van spontaneously a few times during our transit to view guanacos, rheas and condors when they were visible from the road. The 1 km hike up to the viewpoint was fairly steep and a bit slippery near the top, while the 500m hike to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall was flat and easy. The restaurant lunch was plentiful and of decent quality. Overall it was a very satisfying and enjoyable day.

Great Beginner Horseback Experience in Beautiful Surroundings

I very much enjoyed this tour. I booked it at the last minute and ended up alone on the tour, but Matthias's attention was great. I had never ridden a horse anywhere meaningful, but had no trouble keeping up. The landscape is gorgeous, the estancia is elegant, and I had a good lunch to follow up. I would recommend this more for groups or for the evening times when available.

Full Day Guided Tour Perito Moreno National Park and Glacier

Theresa_G, May 2026

Great trip to see glacier

The tour was vey good. I was the only English speaking passenger but our guide was very patient and explained everything in English. The optional boat ride was fun, but if you do not have mobility issues, I suggest you just hike the same portion of the glacier that the boat navigates to. The photos of the boat tour are not too accurate because it looks like the boat really gets close to the glacier, but it does not. It is still a distance away but you can always zoom in. Spectacular! I liked the yellow portion of the walkway, got to see another side of the glacier. We had a wonderful Guide, Rebecca, and great driver, Lucas.

The guide adds a lot to this experience.

It was a a great way to visit Perito Moreno Glacier. Our guide, Anahi, is fluent in both English and Spanish and did a wonderful job interpreting where we were and what we saw. She was well versed in the flora and fauna and history of the region. She explained everything very clearly. Super enjoyable thanks to her good energy and guidance. Appreciated being pickup and dropped off at my hostel. Nice touch.

Tremendous experience ! Not to be missed

This was a unique experience to get up close and into a glacier. Our guides Matti and Johnny were amazing, helping all of us up and down the steep parts! Taking pictures in all the really picturesque spots. It was so well organized , even tea and coffee after completing the trek. There was an awesome surprise at the end of the trek which you’ve got to do the trek to find out!!

We enjoyed this...

We enjoyed this excursion. The time flies by quickly and our guide Noella was good at providing information during the more monotonous parts (the drive back and forth). Everything was clearly explained, obviously slightly better in Spanish, but still more than sufficiently in English. The glacier itself is amazing and we enjoyed having the time to do both the boat ride and the walkways, as they provide different but valuable perspectives. I've heard people say that this can be expensive compared to just going it alone, and while that may be true, the convenience of having everything handled and not driving ourselves was worth it for us.

Highly recommended

The experience was amazing. Absolute would recommend. Staff were friendly and very informative. The views were stunning, they give you ample time in front of each glacier they take you to see so you can truly enjoy it and take in the magnificent views. The food was good but the dessert was amazing. Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Great Experience. Great Staff. Truly Beautiful

Very helpful team. Nice focus on enjoying the quiet and beauty of the glacier. Very willing to help take pictures and give you the most enjoyable natural experience you can. Help them out by having a tether for your phone/camera so they don't have to worry about dropping YOUR phone while they're helping take a picture of you.

9-Day Patagonia Tour: El Calafate, El Chalten and Puerto Natales

Guylaine_T, Feb 2026

Beautiful landscapes

We had a lovely trip. Everything was well-organized and the hotels we stayed at were all excellent (superior category). The breakfast was included every day and was very good. Our included day excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier was spectacular and we felt we had sufficient time to really see it. Our full-day tour of Torres del Paine was also fantastic. This is mostly a van tour with stops. There's a little bit of walking, no hiking. Take note that there is a lot packed in this Patagonia tour, which meant for us that there was not as much time at each place as we would have liked. It's all detailed in the description, so we knew that before booking. But sometimes it's hard to really know until you're on the tour, which is why I'm sharing here. Another thing to take into account is that the travel between El Calafate and Puerto Natales is a very long bus ride, with two border controls which just add more time to the trip. It could be that it's the only way to travel between the two places, but be prepared for a lot of sitting.
