Great views but bad food

3.00Everything was well organized. Great glacier and ice berg views! However, the sandwich was bad and the coffee terrible. Surely not a "Gourmet" tour
Great experience, but an additional one needed to make it complete.

5.00A great overview of several glaciers from the Lake Argentina vantage point. You will see Moreno from the north. To have a more complete picture, take another trip that includes Moreno hiking— it is worth it. You will see Moreno from the south. Also you may have some time in the park visitors center from where you can enjoy yet another perspective at Moreno.
Best excursion for a family

5.00It was a great comfortable ride to see 5 different glaciers including the most popular one (Perito Moreno). we also got off the boat on an island for a small hike. The meal was a box lunch (sandwiches with sides) but it was a lot of food and it was good. It was nice to be able to come inside the boat when it got a little cold. The staff was great.
The most stunning Patagonia experience

5.00The whole experience is unlike any my family and I have experienced in our life. The scenery was breathtaking—the icebergs, the glaciers, the incredible nature surrounding all the magic that makes Patagonia one of the natural wonders of the world. The cruise organizers were knowledgeable and professional and organized a great meal for us on the boat. The professional photographer took incredible pictures of my family. The whole experience from pickup to drop off was more than 5 stars.
Unforgettable experience!

5.00If you're planning a trip to El Calafate this is a must-do activity that combines awe-inspiring natural beauty with comfort and excellent service. You get a chance to view all five iconic glaciers—Upsala, Spegazzini, Perito Moreno, Heim, and Seco in one day. Views were breathtaking and onboard commentary (done in both Spanish and English) provided great insights. This tour is incredibly well-organized, with plenty of time to enjoy each location. We chose an option with transfers and disembark at Perito Moreno and pick up and transfers were seamless. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Patagonia!
