1.Perito Moreno Glacier Trekking Tour and Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 805 reviews · 5 - 11 hours · from $396Our pick

Walk on Perito Moreno Glacier, sail beside its ice walls, and explore Patagonian forest and boardwalk views from El Calafate.

“The El Calafate Mini Trekking tour is honestly on the expensive side, but it was absolutely worth it. Walking directly on the glacier is not something you get to do every day, and from start to finish, it felt like such a special and unique experience. It also became an unforgettable memory for my kids. My kids didn’t find it difficult at all—in fact, they were so excited and enjoyed every moment, which made me even happier as a parent. It wasn’t just sightseeing, but a real hands-on adventure, where you can truly see and feel nature. Most of all, the guides were amazing. Sebastian (I may be spelling the…”

From El Calafate: El Chalten Full-Day Tour and Short Hike

Review of the 11-hour El Calafate to El Chaltén tour, with Viedma Glacier views, short hikes, park fees, transport, lunch, and practical tips.

“I booked this activity specifically for the transfer to/from El Chalten. The wording on the activity indicated that we would have 5 hours to explore on our own, or could opt for a short tour. On the day of the activity, my friend and I were informed that the tour (a short hike) was included and we would not have the 5 hours free time we were expecting - we would have 2 hours to explore the town of El Chalten, rather than the trekking we were prepared for. That said, the guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The transport was a small van that packed 9 of us into…”

There are several trails to choose and the views are stunning! Meeting point to go back to El Calafate was at the tour office building a bit far from the entrance of the park, giving you the opportunity to see the town with lots of restaurants, bars and souvenirs shops.”

Weather conditions are variable so check forecast and bring a little more than you need. They have a storage area after the boat ride, so you can lighten your load for the hike itself. Dont forget glovesice is sharp on hands, sunglasses and sunscreen. And bring snacks as lunch is at 2pm. Definitely worth the money.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 22 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $280

Hike to Laguna de los Tres from El Chaltén for Fitz Roy views, glacier stops, lunch, hotel pickup, and an experienced guide.

“One of the most spectacular things we have ever done! Would not have made it to the top without the help of our wonderful guide, Pablo. He was a wealth of knowledge and was great in telling us when to stop for breaks, switch our layers, and gave tips on how to make the most out of our hike/best spots for photos. This is a hike that could technically be done on your own, but I would not hesitate to book this tour again as it was one of the most challenging hikes we’ve ever been on. Having an experienced guide was well worth it! Definitely be sure to pack…”

“I highly recommend this tour. It was a nice change from the glacier tour we did the day before. We got to see a completely different landscape. Angel was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgable and did a great job. Even the ride from El Calafate was enjoyable. We could see Fitz Roy in the distance and the landscape couldn't be more beautiful. During the tour we got the opportunity to hold petrified bone and wood. Don't miss this tour.”

15.Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $128

Review of El Calafate’s Blue Safari to Perito Moreno Glacier, with boat ride, coastal hike, park walkways, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“Transportation to and from the glacier was very well organized. Tour information and scheduling was communicated very timely and again organized. The boat tour was also very enjoyable. Ride on the top deck and experience the Patagonian winds! The ground trekking portion was guided by well informed, knowledgeable and friendly people. Highly recommend this tour. For people that do not live in Patagonia it is a very rare occasion to experience a glacier, it almost has a life of it's own.”
