You will definitly have to have all meals in the hotel since there is nothing around. Also for complete day tours the hotel prepares a back pack with lunch. All activities are organized by the hotel as well. I think it will be almost the same in price!

Dear Love1alaska, Thank you so much for your contact! February is a great month to visit Patagonia and we would love to have you staying with us at Tierra Hotels. As per your question, the only boat that sails on Lago Grey is the vessel called Grey II which makes 3 daily navigations during the high season (weather allowing). Navigations are often full and it may be challenging to get space for 6-8 people (our excursion group size). We always do our best to book the space in advance, but the boat has it´s own procedures and does not assure us the availability until we get there. This navigation has a cost of USD 90.- approx, per person and should be directly paid on-site. Our team sets up the group, takes the guests to the pier and then back to the hotel once the excursion is over. Once you make your reservation at Tierra Patagonia, kindly point out your preference for the Grey navigation excursion, so that we can put a note in our calendar and try to book the service before your arrival. At Tierra Patagonia we do also offer several wonderful excursion alternatives, such as scenery tours,a bird watching route, cultural tours and soft hikes for guests who want to take it easy and enjoy. We will be pleased to send you a complete list with alternatives. Just send us your request through our website and provide us with your e-mail address. Please do also feel free to contact us through Trip Advisor, should you have more doubts! Warm regards, Cecilia - Guest Service
