This tour operates on December 24 and 31, but does not operate on December 25 or January 1.

The minimum age is 14 years. Participants aged 14 to 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

No, unfortunately, this tour is not accessible for individuals with reduced mobility.

A box lunch is included with the full-day tour. If you choose the half-day tour (kayaking only), we recommend bringing your own lunch. Alternatively, you can enjoy a meal at the restaurant located within Los Glaciares National Park.

After booking and finalizing payment, you will receive a confirmation of your purchase. Then, in less than 24 hours, you will receive the voucher that you can use to take the excursions.

If the reservation is for the next day, we will be attentive and send you the voucher before your excursion begins.

No prior kayaking experience is required. The activity is suitable for novices, and double kayaks are used to ensure maximum stability and comfort. You’ll be guided throughout the experience, making it perfect for first-timers.

We recommend bringing comfortable and warm clothing, such as a jacket, sports footwear or trekking boots, sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves, and a hat.

The tour includes all necessary professional kayaking gear: a dry suit (Gore-Tex), a thermal suit, boots, gloves, and life jackets — all designed to keep you safe, warm, and dry during the activity.

Yes, guides may cancel the activity if weather conditions are deemed unsafe. In this case, we will provide you the option to reeschedule or receive a full refund of your payment.

1.5 hours (duration may vary depending on weather conditions).

The kayaking experience takes place on the north face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the most impressive and active sections of the ice wall.

Absolutely! You’ll kayak among icebergs right in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, offering a unique and up-close perspective.

Absolutely! Lockers are available on-site for you to securely store your belongings.

It works well for both. First-time visitors gain a strong sense of scale and context, while returning travelers often appreciate seeing the ice from a different angle, distance, or time of day than on a standard visit.

Glacier activity is unpredictable. On active days you may hear cracking ice or witness calving events, but these natural events can never be guaranteed. The experience remains worthwhile because the landscape, colors, and scale are impressive even without a major calving.

Not necessarily. Patagonia’s light changes quickly, and overcast conditions can actually enhance the blue tones and texture of the ice. Visibility may vary during the day, so travelers should avoid judging the entire experience by the forecast alone.

Yes. The changing light, ice formations, mountains, water, and wide Patagonian landscapes provide excellent photographic opportunities. A zoom lens can be useful, but a smartphone is also sufficient for strong wide-angle images.

Usually yes, depending on your itinerary. Many travelers combine a scenic glacier visit with a navigation, trekking activity, estancia experience, or a second day focused on another sector of Los Glaciares National Park.

The exact distance depends on the activity and safety regulations. Scenic tours, boats, and active experiences all use designated safe zones, allowing close views without compromising visitor safety or the protected environment.

Yes. Snow cover, daylight hours, vegetation, temperature, wind, and the color of the surrounding landscape change through the season. The glacier is spectacular throughout the operating period, but each month offers a slightly different atmosphere.

This is a day trip from Buenos Aires with return flights to El Calafate. It is designed for travelers without an overnight stay there; confirm flight and excursion timings.

Wind is part of normal Patagonian conditions. It can influence perceived temperature and, for boat-based activities, operational decisions. Dressing in layers and keeping flexibility in your schedule makes the experience more comfortable.

The principal difference is the coordinated return flights from Buenos Aires and ground arrangements in El Calafate. Confirm park admission and Buenos Aires transfers.

For most recreational departures, previous experience is not required unless the product specifically states otherwise. Guides provide a briefing and explain basic technique before entering the water.

Wind is one of the main variables in Patagonia. It can affect route, pace, comfort and, occasionally, whether the activity can operate safely. Guides make decisions based on real conditions on the day.

Safety procedures and equipment are designed for that possibility. Follow the guide’s briefing carefully and stay calm; the team will explain the appropriate recovery procedure before the activity begins.

There is always some chance of spray or water exposure. Keep valuables in protected storage or waterproof packaging and follow the operator’s clothing instructions.

It requires active participation, but the effort level varies with current, wind, distance and pace. Most travelers find it manageable when they meet the stated fitness requirements.

Usually yes, but only with suitable waterproof protection and secure attachment. For valuable equipment, ask the operator which storage options are available before departure.

Yes. Patagonia’s lakes and rivers remain scenic in changing weather, and cloud cover can create dramatic mountain light. Safety conditions matter more than sunshine.

Guides normally organize participants according to safety, equipment and the type of craft. The exact configuration may vary depending on group size and operating conditions.

This depends on the specific activity and operator requirements. Even when flotation equipment is provided, travelers who cannot swim should declare this before booking so suitability can be confirmed.

Paddling provides a quieter, more immersive perspective at water level and adds an active component to the scenery. It is ideal for travelers who want more participation than a standard panoramic excursion.
