Additional Information

The Blue Safari is tailored for individuals who not only want to sail in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier but also yearn to step on its icy terrain!

The adventure kicks off from El Calafate when our bus departs for Los Glaciares National Park. Upon reaching Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, a mere 7 km from the viewing platforms, we’ll board a boat to traverse Lake Rico. After a 20-minute cruise, we’ll alight on the opposite shore.

Gradually, we’ll embark on a 30-minute stroll, all the while keeping an eye on the Glacier’s southern wall for any unexpected ice falls. Once we’re alongside the glacier, it’s time for a once-in-a-lifetime experience… We’ll get to admire its myriad of blues and whites and the unique formations it boasts.

There will be ample time to capture these breathtaking views in photos, after which we’ll make our way back to the starting point, under the guidance of our experienced guide. The entire walk spans roughly 1.30 hours.

  • Children under 10 cannot participate
  • Entrance to Los Glaciares National Park (Mastercard is not accepted, you can pay in cash or visa card in Argentine pesos when you arrive at the Park) Do not forget your DNI / Passport or Identity Card

Amazing experience! - An alternative and more affordable experience to mini trekking for those who want to get up close to the Perito Moreno Glacier. Punctual agency, I didn't have any problems. I recommend!

Best choice to see the expert - Great company and guides. The tour was excellent, allowing you to see the expert from different angles: from the water, land and from the walkways. I was unsure about which tour to take and I think it was the best choice.

Skip this tour company and book directly with Hielo Y Aventura - My problem is with the tour company and not the experience itself. I had initially booked the ice trekking tour back in September for our tour in January. I had pretty much booked my flights, itinerary, stays ALL around the ice trekking; however, within 2 weeks of the experience, they canceled the ice trekking on us saying there was no more room on the tour despite us having booked MONTHS earlier. I was beyond frustrated with the company as I would have changed plans had they let me know earlier but with 2 weeks notice, there were no more options left. This left me gutted as I reached out to so many other companies to see what options I had. Ultimately, I accepted that there were no other options and chose this Blue Safari tour which was alright with the same company. I would say, don't bother booking with this tour company since they are completely unreliable and book directly with Hielo & Aventura. Hielo & Aventura is the company that can 100% confirm whether your booking is confirmed or not so don't bother with any of these 3rd-party vendors that are completely unprofessional and unempathetic when they cancel on you last minute because of their own shortcomings and lack of follow-through

Bad organization and bad guides - To begin with, we spent 2 hours picking people up from the hotels, the guide was terrible, very unprofessional or knew nothing about the place. We arrived at Perito Moreno which is wonderful and they gave us only 1 hour to explore the Catwalks!!!! A shame we couldn't see almost anything.
