What are people saying about El Calafate

Perito Moreno Glacier Full Day Tour with Optional Boat Safari

Lee_R, Nov 2026

El Calafate must-see

It’s about 8 hours and the weather can be capricious. Sun in El Calafate and rain and fog at the glacier, so be prepared. Once at the glacier you can do a lot of walking at the various colored trails or little if you prefer. There is a cafe and shop at the glacier. Advisable to get the national park tickets ahead of time. Our guide Max and driver Bruno were great. Excellent experience and a must.

Awesome!

This is a wonderful tour and we had an awesome tour guide, Carla was so awesome, she speaks good English and she makes sure she will translate first in English before the Spanish. She is kind and friendly, any questions we have she answers us. She even accompany us all the way to the view point. And we were so lucky, the Fitz Roy mountain should up, the very tip end, it was clear. The El Chalten town is beautiful, it’s kind a of rich town. And the lunch was served it was good!

Adventure Horseback Riding on Cerro Frias

An unforgettable family experience at Cerro Frías!

We did the excursion in its horseback riding option and the service was impeccable from the first moment. The hotel pickup was super punctual and we enjoyed the trip a lot thanks to the explanations from our driver-guide, who detailed everything we saw along the way. 🚌✨ Upon arriving at the ranch, we began the horseback ride; a beautiful hour-and-a-half route, very relaxed and pleasant, surrounded by stunning landscapes. Our horseback riding guide shared his knowledge about typical tasks, the horses, the vegetation, and the general fauna of the area, remaining attentive to the group's well-being at all times🐴⛰️. We want to especially highlight his dedication and warmth with the oldest and the youngest in the family. Since they had no prior experience, he managed to make them feel safe and enjoy the activity to the fullest. We ended the day with a delicious lunch at the ranch's restaurant. 🍽️😋. It is a highly recommended excursion to do as a family; children and older adults can do it without any issues. Since it is a very calm route, if the group already has experience with horseback riding, it might be worth asking about an option with greater difficulty. Thank you so much to the whole team for giving us such a lovely memory of our vacation! 🙌❤️

Recommendation

Incredible experience in Torres del Paine with Southroad! 🏔️✨ We highly recommend this tour. Everything was very well organized and allowed us to enjoy spectacular landscapes and a truly impressive place. We especially want to highlight our guide Silvestre, who made the experience even more special with his knowledge, kindness, and excellent willingness to explain every detail to us. We also want to thank Guillermo, our driver, very much for his professionalism and for making the trip very comfortable and safe. Without a doubt, a tour that is very much worth it and that we recommend for getting to know Torres del Paine. We are taking home incredible memories! 🇨🇱💙

Glaciares Gourmet Navigation: Spegazzini, Upsala & Perito Moreno

juanmartino2019, Sept 2026

A trip to remember

Long but unforgettable day! They picked us up at 7:30 at the hotel. At 9:00 we boarded. Entering the park is cumbersome and slow. And if the weather is bad, it is worse. It is outdoors and the wind hits you. Once on board, they welcome you with breakfast. The navigation is extremely calm, touring Lake Argentino and its glaciers. It gets very close to the Spegazzini and you see the Upsala from afar for safety reasons. The 4-course lunch is very good, accompanied by a delicious wine. The arrival at Perito Moreno is spectacular. The boat gets very close to the north wall, achieving views to remember. The return to the port is at 5:00 PM with a backpack full of memories.

Excellent agency!

Whenever we travel south we take excursions with this agency, and once again everything went perfectly. Highly recommended. A point to highlight is that we made all inquiries and reservations through the corporate WhatsApp and everything worked perfectly. PS: Special mention to Ana the guide who accompanied us.

Nativo Experience - Lakes & Caverns

carolinasleal1972, Jul 2026

10/10 a unique experience.

Excellent experience, highly recommended! The guides who accompanied us: Leandro and El Oso are great, they know a lot and convey it very well. The 4x4 vehicles were very good, Augusto was very good behind the wheel. An experience with all the trimmings! Visit to the Caves where you learn about the Tehuelche culture, cave paintings, bird watching, incredible view of Lake Argentino, and to top it off, a delicious lunch at the Wailichu caves. A 10 out of 10!!!!!!

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.

recommended experience

They came to us with punctuality by our hotel, along the way they placed us very interesting audio guides where we could learn about Patagonia!! Our driver Agustin told us more curiosities about this fantastic place. Even though we could not see the Fitz Roy because the sky was very cloudy, we climbed to the viewpoint of the condors and had a beautiful view of the village and the river. Fully recommended experience, we leave more than happy!!!!

It's a long trip but worththe effort

Great whatsapp comms the day before with A PDF explaining the park passes and chile declarations. You MUST complete both b4 you travel, plus bring your passport. 4WD truck arrived at my hotel on time. Trip lasted about 14 hours. The tour guided Silvestre and Jackie and driver Gusavo were really awesome hroughout the trip, plus the Park ked lunch was great quality .. saw condors, pumas and guanacos, plus a x 1.5 hour trek in the national park. I was very happy with the trip and recommend this to anyone. It's just the border crossings that take the time and are a pain.

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.
