Incredible!

5.00It was such a fantastic way to see the glacier! We did all the hikes around the glacier so we saw it from each vantage point but it was so amazing to be in the water, up close to it. Perito Moreno glacier was incredible but the kayak experience took it to the next level.

5.00When I booked this tour, being a former river kayaker, I wasn't sure what to expect, but if you want to take home a lasting memory – this is the tour. The tour guides are friendly and informative. Lucia, Fernando, and the driver (apologies to him for forgetting his name, he was hard at work driving- (good thing too given the roads into the park) welcomed everyone. Everyone did an excellent job – gave clear instructions and encouragement to get us ready for the paddle. The trip included a filling box lunch given to us after the paddle with time to enjoy it at the Perito Merino Glacier’s boardwalk. Thus, we saw both north and south faces of this incredible monument to nature. Everyone may not enjoy the same sunny weather and medium velocity wind. Yet, you will discover as you float on the water in your two-person kayak that the glacier has something to tell you. Sometimes in a soft whisper, sometimes in a grumpy groan as a chunk of thousand-year-old ice splinters off the wall’s edge and splashes into the lake. I recommend this tour to experienced kayakers or newbies. I even left behind a lucky, black sock so I’ll have to return one day.
Un dia inolvidable!!😍

5.00We were a group of 8 people. Nobody else was in the kayak. Our sguides were super friendly and open to any question - in Spanish and in German! On the lake we were offered alfajores and coffee. Back on shore we still had time to walk on our own and received a packed lunch. A very successful trip and definitely worth the money!!
Lovely experience!

5.00Fernando and Lucia were wonderful guides! We had a great time! Nice to have time afterwards to explore the footbridges as well.
We loved this tour! I highly recommend taking this opportunity when in El Calafate.

5.00We had an amazing day with Lou kayaking around the Perito Moreno glacier. Lou is an exceptional guide, with great knowledge and a great attitude. She made sure we were safe, had fun, and learned a lot - she also gave great recommendations on where to have coffee and food for the fest of our stay in the town. The tour was well organized with pickup from our hostel, safety brief and gear check, a good amount of time kayaking and exploring, then we had time to explore on our own, walking around the footbridges. Getting to see the glacier from below as well as above made us feel like we truly explored this place.
Unique activity!!!

5.00An unforgettable experience and even more if you like kayaking We hired the separate transfer that left us at the entrance to the walkways and then met us at the Kayak agency office They give you excellent quality protective suits with which you are guaranteed not to get wet. The activity lasts about an hour or a little longer, you get quite close to the glacier as far as it is safe as very large blocks of ice can fall We have a day without wind and sun, unbeatable! Cost in August 2023 was approximately $300
Excellent kayaking adventure!

5.00Everything was perfectly organised and run. The staff is super friendly and approachable. You get high quality equipment. The kayaking is 1,5h long, then you have 3h to explore the walksides on your own.
Strong winds but would still recommend

5.00Our guides were very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to get on the water for about ten minutes but unfortunately due to strong wind our guides had to cancel the excursion. We did get a full refund. I do appreciate that they tried to get us out on the water for a bit before they canceled.
