1.Perito Moreno Glacier & Optional Boat Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,586 reviews · 8 hours · from $80Our pick

Travel from El Calafate to Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park with hotel pickup and a Spanish-English guide. You get about three hours for the boardwalks, plus an optional one-hour boat ride to the ice wall. Guides such as Tobias, Noela, and Sebastian have been praised for clear explanations and smooth transport.

“We had a great tour around the Perito Moreno glacier. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot during the trip there. We got picked up on time and then got transferred to the bus that would take us to the park. The boat ride was fun, but it was super busy and crowded, so much so that it sometimes was hard to find a place outside the boat to view the glacier. You then get some free time to explore the walkways and gawk at the glaciers, which was great.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 805 reviews · 5 - 11 hours · from $396

Walk for about an hour on Perito Moreno Glacier with crampons, cross Brazo Rico by boat, and explore the forest and boardwalks of Los Glaciares National Park. English and Spanish guides lead small groups, with names such as Mariana, Marcelo, and Nicolas praised for clear instruction and patient support.

“Excellent excursion! From custom pick up from our accommodations to a nice, smaller-sized group, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We initially wanted to do the Big Ice tour but were disqualified from it due to age. We were disappointed, but in all honesty, this one was the perfect amount time on the glacier (~1 hour). We wouldn’t have wanted to be on it for much longer but all in all enjoyed around 3 hours close to the glacier where we could watch it calving from near the glacier hike start area. Fantastic job by our guides…..thank you for an amazing day!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $387

Leave El Calafate at 7:00 am for a full-day adventure to Perito Moreno Glacier. You’ll sail across Rico Arm, learn to use crampons, and spend 90 minutes walking on the ice with an English- and Spanish-speaking guide. Bring lunch, water, gloves, warm layers, and your passport details for booking.

“This tour is very nice. You get to see the Perito Moreno really well and it's very special to hike a glacier. I wouldn't recommend booking this tour through Viator though. You still have contact the local tour operator to confirm a few things, so you might as well book the tour with the local tour operator Hielo y aventura, which is about 50-100 cheaper per person. We booked it in advance because the local tour operator didn't accept Mastercard and we were afraid the tours would be fully booked but there's always a spot left.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 64 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $92

Spend about eight hours traveling from El Calafate to Perito Moreno Glacier with round-trip hotel transfers and an English and Spanish-speaking guide. Walk the park’s viewing routes, stop for photos from several angles, and add a boat ride to approach the glacier wall. Park admission is paid separately in Argentine pesos.

“It was an excellent tour and run very well. They told me my specific pickup time and arrived exactly when they said. Jessica was a great guide and since I was the only native English speaker she was very attentive to me to make sure I understood everything. The time allotted for the platforms was perfect if you are a relatively quick walker and want to see everything. You could also stick to the main area and go at a very leisurely pace and be fine. The boat was a little crowded for comfortable pictures outside, but was still well worth it.”

Travel from El Calafate to Los Glaciares National Park with an English or Spanish-speaking guide, stopping at Curva de los Suspiros, Muelle Bajo las Sombras, and the glacier’s tiered boardwalks.

“Exactly what we paid for - driver picked us up (after emailing confirmation and calling the hotel to confirm as well), drove us there, and provided all the stops as described. We didn’t pre pay the navigation, but they made it easy for us to add it on. Credit cards are not popular here so try and have at least 1000 pesos per person - 500 for entrance fees and 500 for navigation. We saw the glacier cave quite a few times and had great views from the boat and walkways.”

“Beautiful glacier. Well organized trip with nice tour guide. Enough time to take photos. Pasarela was the best thing for me. Walking a bit to get close to the glacier. Hear when the glacier is moving and cracking. Weather was also good. If it is rainy, then you don't enjoy the trip that much.”
