Boat views are stunning, but nothing compares to the quiet crackle under your boots as you walk across 10,000-year-old ice. It’s intimate, safe, and one of the only glacier treks in the world open to visitors.
The Perito Moreno Glacier boat tours range from a 1-hour cruise that sails along the glacier’s southern face to full-day cruises that explore further into Lago Argentino, visiting the Upsala and Spegazzini Glaciers.
You’ll cruise through the turquoise waters of Lago Argentino, surrounded by floating icebergs and towering glacier walls. Unlike standard lake tours, these cruises bring you incredibly close to the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few in the world still advancing.
Yes, most Perito Moreno boat tours are accessible for travelers with limited mobility, with wide gangways and main-deck seating. The premium cruise, however, is not wheelchair-accessible as the dining lounge is located on the upper deck.
No, seating is open on the 1-hour and standard full-day cruises, so you can move freely between indoor cabins and outdoor viewing decks. Premium passengers have reserved upper-deck seating with table service and panoramic windows.
Both routes include Upsala and Spegazzini Glaciers, but the premium cruise offers a smaller group size, upper-deck lounge, and a 4-course gourmet meal.
No, El Calafate boat tours typically run from September to May when Lago Argentino is navigable. Winter months (June–August) often bring ice and strong winds, limiting operations for safety reasons.
No, pets aren’t allowed on the El Calafate boat tours.
No, the Los Glaciares National Park entry ticket is not included in your cruise booking. After you book, you’ll receive details on where and how to purchase your park pass before your visit.
