5.00I took the choice of park and boat and it was very satisfying, first you walk in the park on the different trails and then you do the boating to be closer to the glacier.
Good Guide Good Tour

5.00Reservamos a través de Viator antes de llegar a El Calafate. Una experiencia muy buena. Sin duda, vale la pena pagar el viaje en barco como parte del tour. No pagamos la entrada al parque antes del día, lo que no causó muchos retrasos. La comunicación fue buena antes del viaje; en la confirmación de la reserva hay un número de WhatsApp para contactar el día anterior y confirmar la recogida, etc. Nos recogieron puntualmente en el hotel. La guía Natalie estaba muy bien informada y el viaje al parque se nos pasó volando, ya que nos dio una explicación detallada de lo que veríamos durante el día y una lección de geografía. El conductor también fue excelente; nevó mucho por la tarde de regreso a El Calafate y me sentí completamente seguro. El viaje en barco es increíble; me alegré de llevar varias capas de ropa (en julio). Luego nos dirigimos a las pasarelas para disfrutar de una vista diferente del glaciar. El whisky con hielo del glaciar al final vale la pena. Un viaje fantástico y uno de los mejores momentos del viaje a Argentina. We booked through Viator before arriving in El Calafate. Very good experience. It is definitely worth paying for the boat journey as part of the tour. We didn’t pay the entrance fee to the park before the day - and this did not cause much delays. Communication was good prior to the trip, in the booking confirmation there is a whatsapp number to contact the previous day to confirm pick ups etc. We were picked up on time at the hotel, the guide Natalie was very knowledgable and the journey to the park flew by as she gave us all a detailed explanation of what we would see during the day - and a geography lesson. The driver was also excellent - it snowed heavily during the afternoon on the way back to el Calafate and I felt completely safe. The boat journey is amazing, I was glad that I had several layers of clothing (July). We then made our way to the walkways for a different view od the glacier. The whiskey with ice from the glacier at the end is worth it. Great trip and one of the highlights of the trip to Argentina.
Perfectly timed tour...

5.00Perfectly timed tour which balanced group and solo opportunities. The boat ride is a can't miss - for those that want to experience the glacier you absolutely must do the optional boat ride. It was the undisputed highlight of the whole day.
