5.00Beautiful 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

4.00Tour 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!

3.00The 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.
Unforgettable experience

5.00After a slow start with pick-ups & waiting to get tickets at the park I had a great day. The guides & staff were knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. We had 90 minutes on the platforms self-guilded, it was a good suggestion by the company to take your own lunch & sit with a view of the glacier. We then boarded the boat for an unforgettable trip past ice bergs to the other side to walk up to the edge of the glacier. On the way back the boat went along the face of the glacier, it was spectacular, to top it off they served liquor & chocolate. The company seemed like a large well organised company.

5.00Transportation to and from the glacier was very well organized. Tour information and scheduling was communicated very timely and again organized. The boat tour was also very enjoyable. Ride on the top deck and experience the Patagonian winds! The ground trekking portion was guided by well informed, knowledgeable and friendly people. Highly recommend this tour. For people that do not live in Patagonia it is a very rare occasion to experience a glacier, it almost has a life of it's own.
Enjoy surprise with Blue Safari

4.00We did the tour with the ice and adventure operator but hired her in the caulk center through Patagonia Dreams. We leave the port “Under the Shadows” 70 km from Calafate approx. Please note that it takes 1.30 hs to get there. We went with our own vehicle but offer the option of hotel pickup and transfer. Navigation is short but the ship facilities very neat. The guides were very well prepared. We were able to take very nice photos and understand a little of the local ecosystem and the behavior of the Perito Moreno glacier. The experience is very cute to do with people of all ages and is suitable for children. Good photos can be obtained and the panoramas of the south face of the glacier are unmissable. This excursion is much cheaper than mini-trekking. On a low-windy autumn day we were not cold but the local guide told us that in summer and spring there are usually strong winds and it is always good to be prepared with clothes for cold and waterproof. Dressing in layers, gloves, glasses and hat are necessary.
Good option if no mini-trekking availability

4.00The best you can do if there is no chance of doing the mini-trekking. You get to touch the Glacier. At the end there is a surprise.
A different walk coming to touch the Glacier!

5.00Looking for other options to do in El Calafate, since I have visited it on other occasions, I found this option to be able to approach the Perito Moreno Glacier, without doing the minitrekking, enjoying its vastness, the hike in the forest and the navigation to the south face of the glacier. I really enjoyed this tour, just as I appreciated the guides who accompanied us on the tour, very friendly and attentive to all visitors.
All perfect.
