Excellent day cruise. The whole day is planned perfectly. Breathtaking views through out the trip. We took the disembark option and it was totally worth it. We are vegetarians and the lunch was very good. Professional photographer onboard is very friendly and he took amazing pictures!

Good experience

Camila_M, Feb 2026
It was a great experience, everything went well, a very calm trip. The vegetarian sandwich was good, and we also recommend going down to the walkways — they’re very beautiful too

Spectacular, excellent

Renato_L, Feb 2026
Staff is attentive, careful and friendly. The tour is very well organized and absolutely pleasant. The timing is perfect.

Great scenery but Lunch could be better

GregLynch, Feb 2026
Glaciares Gourmet Navigation was very enjoyable. The scenery was spectacular. It was a bit disappointing not to get close to any ice overhangs as shown in their advertising. It was also annoying that they are still advertising the Upsala Glacier even though they are no longer allowed to get anywhere near it! The box lunch was very basic and the rolls were very dry. We threw half away. However, the dessert was great. The commentary in English was not very clear and hard to understand.

The best trip

Anne_M, Feb 2026
Absolutely fabulous. We visited several glaciers close up which was amazing. The premium option is well worth it with the lovely food and drinks.

Fabulous experience!

Lena_C, Jan 2026
We loved every detail of this tour. The ship was very comfortable and safe, the people welcoming and knowledgeable. The landscapes of the glaciers were breathtaken. We enjoyed the tour and we’d repite the experience again!

So-so Experience

Leena_N, Jan 2026
The biggest disappointment was not getting close to Upsala - you see it from quite a distance (take binoculars). Lunch was good on the boat, but a long day overall. Would not recommend.

Amazing

Rutul_S, Jan 2026
Excellent experience- on time, limited food option for vegetarian but overall amazing especially when they took us very close to glaciers

Horrible. Do not recommend. Food is not good. Service is even worse. Staff is rude. So disappointing

Very recommended

Yuval_T, Dec 2025
Very well organized, spectacular views. Excellent and very interesting explanations. Recommended to access the pasarelas

Wonderful experience

zulmaivette, Nov 2025
The staff was super friendly, helpfula and knowledgeable. The vessel was clean and comfortable and the food (gourmet sandwiches) was very good, including a hot sandwich, beverage of choice and dessert. . The trip was simply wonderful!

The perfect Patagonia day

Richard_A, Oct 2025
We had a great day with breathtaking glaciers and mountains, wonderful service, pure Patagonia magic!

The views of the lake...

Asaf_S, Apr 2025
The views of the lake shores and the glaciers are magnificent. The fact that we couldn’t get closer to the Upsula was a bit disappointing. The explanations given during the cruise were educational. To conclude, the experience was extremely enjoyable and I would recommend others to do the cruise.

Amazing and his majesty Perito Moreno glacier

Tamta_O, Mar 2025
Well organized, from transfers to activities. Highly recommended. It was an amazing experience with must-see places. We loved everything. The staff was attentive and kind, explaining everything in detail so you can fully enjoy the trip.

Breathtaking

Jennifer_S, Feb 2025
This is a TRUE WOW! We had the best time. Maurizio was an incredblly knowlegeable and warm & hospitable tour guide. I still cannot believe my eyes, the beauty & wonder we say crusing Argentino Lago and beholding these incredible Glaciers, was absolutely other worldly. I am still saying I cannot believe it. The beauty was...outstanding.

Excellent Tour

R_C, Jan 2025
We booked the premium tour which was more expensive but worth the price. Two adults and a toddler with plenty of room for him to play and move around . The food was good , and the staff were very accommodating. The views from the deck were breathtaking. Trip of a lifetime.

Delightful

Sue_G, Jan 2025
Dress warm, thermals, gloves, coat, hat and Sun glasses are all needed. Lunch is delicious but take snacks 1:30 is a long time to wait for food.

Great way to visit the...

Ashraf_S, Dec 2024
Great way to visit the glaciers. A must visit, the boat is clean roomy and the company had great guides and interpreters No physical effort so great for kids and elderly

Great views

Ernest_R, Nov 2024
Being able to see Perrito Moreno. The other glaciers were also fantastic. It also was nice to be able to walk in the Glacier National Park

Thumbs up

Rohimah_M, Apr 2024
It was fun amd worth the money. Wish we had a bit more time at Perito Moreno glacier. And would've been nice to have the professional photographers on board offer to take photos for all of us. I would pay a little extra to have that.

I'll never use your site!!!!

Myeongrang_K, Mar 2024
You fooled me because you changed US $304 for this trip. A couple paid US $190 with the same condition. My price was unreasonable. I won't use anything anymore on your site. You stoled my money.

A phenomenal cruise to Patagonia glaciers

Ajit_N, Feb 2024
A fantastic cruise to explore the glaciers. We had a very memorable and an enjoyable experience. The cruise was great and kids friendly too. We were delighted to see a kids play area on board to our child engaged in activities during the cruise. We could also pre book our lunch box and had a variety option for those who even have diet restrictions. The tour company was very prompt with communication via WhatsApp about pick up time and other details.

Rip off in USD

Cheryl_G, Jan 2024
I was totally ripped off. I paid $400Usd more per person than those who booked in Argentina through Marpatag. They lie about price guarantee! No help at all through customer service!

Fantastic! Def recommended

Matrix_D, Dec 2021
Great organisation and wonderful guides. We were only the few English speaking tourists, but they really made sure to include us. Lunchbox was really good compared to the cold sandwiches, we even got a free large glass of Malbec. Just take some light snacks with you as between the pickup and lunch It was a long time. But the views were absolutely spectacular and the captain really gave us a great tour. Just bring layers and sunscreen!

Glacier

Anum_M, Mar 2020
Views were spectacular. Hike should have been longer. Good guide. Hotel pickup was on time. Lunch was good.

Awesome

MariaS_d, Feb 2020
Kudos to all the crew from the Maria Turquesa, very kind and helpful; special mention to it’s captain, Pablo, who took us through the lake and allow us to enjoy all the views of the different glaciers in the beautiful lake Argentino.

Amazing to see such a stunning Glacier so close

David_H, Jan 2020
A well organized day trip. Cold, and wet, weather clothing was needed for our trip in January, very windy in the morning, but this did not detract from the experience.

Lived up to the reviews!

Jerry L, Apr 2019
Basically an all day adventure aboard a large tri-hull cruiser that covered most of Lago Argentina. The seating is quite comfortable and the windows are large. Access to the deck on two levels allows everyone space for viewing and photos. There is a photographer on board to provide professional photos of your experience. We paid to include a box lunch and beverage but you can bring your own or upgrade to the luxury lunch and beverages. The boat had a play area for small children. We visited all of the glaciers. Two of them calved while we were watching. We enjoyed great weather. A short hike is available to stretch your legs on land. We enjoyed the experience.
