there is only one company that operates the boat tours of the glaciers outside of El Calafate... Hielo y Aventura. The boat holds 220 people, so there are only a few really great seats, most of the views are best had from outside... but it is chilly out there! If at all possible wear wind and waterproof gear with some... More

This tour is well worth while. The boat takes you right into the heart of the Patagonian mountains and the views of the glaciers are fantastic. While Upsala and Spegazzini are the highlights, the other smaller glaciers and mountain views are equally spectacular. The icebergs on the Upsala canal are amazing. The boat was clean and well serviced, the tour... More

Nice trip, although departure too early (06.45 am departure from the hotel in El Calafate). Negative points: too commercial, too many tourists, hardly able to do photos because of the mass of tourists. Organzer: Solo Patagonia. Could be much better, if not so many tourists. More

It is more entertaining (and more practical) to combine the boat trip with the visit to Perito Moreno Glacier. It saves you a whole day (if you want to cover more ground) and entrance to the National park. More

My expectations were not too high after doing the short cruise to the South side of the Glaciar. But this other cruise has nothing to do with that one! I was amazed by the beautiful landscapes! And as an extra bonus, the crew usually "fishes" a big chunk of a wandering iceberg and let everybody have a bit in a... More

Unforgettable the trip we made to El Calafate to Glacier National Park, the last reserves of ice in the world. We bought our ticket at the bus station. The ride is quiet and the roads have good conservation. We leave at 10am and return at 16pm. It's all very well organized. It's worth the ride. Do not forget the camera,... More

The views of the glaciers from the water is a spectacle not to be missed. The tour is very pleasant, lago argentino is very beautiful and on a nice sunny day it is going to be unforgettable. Be aware, out there is always very cold!!! Get warm clothes. More

The lake is beautiful, the glaciers are awe-inspiring, & on a lovely day it makes for a nice enough tour. BUT- - There are just too many people on board. You get in each others' way, there are lines to everywhere, it's noisy & crowded & unpleasant. - The explanations in English are poor, in a heavy accent & all-in-all... More

I just got back from the Todo Glacieres tour with the Solo Patagonia company and enjoyed the trip, especially the contrast of deep-hued blue glaciers to the pine covered mountains that provide the backdrop. It is hard to find fault with the tour, however there are a few things I would have done differently.. Bring warm clothes, ie. pants, sweaters,... More

Don't miss the chance to observe the different Glaciers which form the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. You'll be surprised to witness how each Glaciers has it's own distinctive character. More
