No prior kayaking experience is required.
Once ready, the adventure truly begins: you’ll launch from Playa de los Témpanos and paddle toward the front of the majestic glacier, approaching as close as 600 meters. Along the way, you’ll pause to take stunning photos and learn fascinating facts about this extraordinary natural wonder.
After approximately 1.5 hours on the water, you’ll return to the starting point to enjoy warm beverages and snacks.
The experience continues with 2 hours of free time to explore the glacier’s extensive system of walkways, offering panoramic viewpoints of the glacier from different angles. (Optional: included with the full-day tour.)
Finally, you’ll head back to El Calafate in the afternoon, concluding an unforgettable day at one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. (Optional.)
