5.00Perito Moreno Glacier Day Trip & Boat Ride: Worth Every Moment The full-day trip to Perito Moreno is an essential Patagonian experience, and the added boat navigation transforms it from amazing to truly unforgettable. After exploring the extensive network of boardwalks, which offer breathtaking panoramic views of the glacier's 240-foot face, the one-hour boat ride provides a crucial, up-close perspective. Sailing into the Canal de los Témpanos, you feel the glacier's immense scale and hear the powerful, thunderous cracks as massive chunks of ice calve and crash into the water—a spectacle you might miss from the land. The sheer blue color of the ice seen from the water is mesmerizing, offering photo opportunities that are completely different from the walkways. This combination of land views and water proximity ensures you capture the full majesty of this actively growing natural wonder. It’s an easy, well-organized, and awe-inspiring day that is highly recommended.
Nice experience

5.00This is one of the trips you should take before you die. Nature does wonderful things and this is one of them. Getting to the place is very easy from El Calafate. Patagonia Dreams was an excellent operator, guide Tobias treated us to 10 points. The unspeakable Glacier vision.
Not to miss place and good tour operator.

4.00The Glacier National Park is definitely unmissable and is an exciting and fantastic day trip. Whilst our guide was really cheerful and pleasant and gave us some interesting info on the glacier, and we also stopped at some nice places to take photos of it from a distance, it was rather a lot of money to pay for what was a convenient bus ride. A smart bus though. But unless you hire a car your travel options are very limited! Note you pay for the national park entry yourself using cash only (pesos only accepted) or you can pay on line via the national parks website. It's around $42 US on conversion. But you can pay for the boat trip at the quayside in cash or by credit card.
Glaciers, Mountains and More: oh my😀!

5.00This beautiful scenery plus a well-run tour equaled just what we wanted! It was easy to sign up for this tour because we prefer easy hiking and great photos, which we got! The boat ride was an hour long- we stayed on the upper deck and took some awesome glacial photos. The majority of the other passengers went downstairs after the first 30 minutes, which gave us more photo opportunities. We brought our own lunches, and enjoyed walking along the shoreline in the park after our guide showed us how to use the simple color-coded trail system. The trails were made of sturdy metal-grated steps and pathways with railings. Before reuniting with our group back at the bus, we stopped for refreshments at the park’s snack bar. It was a very enjoyable and memorable day! (Be sure to purchase your national park tickets online beforehand, and study whether a 1, 2 or 3 day pass makes the most sense for you).
It is wonderful trip....
