- El Calafate - Enjoy a relaxing journey on a comfortable coach along the picturesque Route 11, which follows the shores of Lago Argentino. During the trip, the guide will provide intriguing information about the park’s diverse wildlife and the importance of Perito Moreno as part of the expansive Patagonian Ice Fields, one of the largest fresh water reserves in the world.
- Los Glaciares National Park - Experience your first breathtaking view of Perito Moreno at the ‘Curve of Sighs’—a scenic bend in the road offering sweeping panoramic views of the glacier and the surrounding landscape. Here, you’ll begin to grasp the enormity of the glacier’s 60-meter-high (196-foot) front wall, which descends into the waters of Lago Argentino.
- Perito Moreno Glacier - Proceed to the park’s renowned glacier walkways, which provide stunning, multi-level viewing platforms. From these vantage points, you’ll be able to enjoy panoramic views of the glacier from various angles and heights. Capture amazing photos of the glacier’s jagged ice formations, towering cliffs, and the surrounding Patagonian scenery.
- Lago Argentino - For a closer experience with the glacier, opt for the boat ride from Puerto Bajo Las Sombras. Sail across the Rico Arm of Lake Argentino, navigating between floating icebergs as you approach the towering ice face. As you get closer, watch for the spectacular ice calving—a dramatic natural event when chunks of ice break off and crash into the water below.
- Pasarelas Perito Moreno - After visiting the glacier, take some free time to relax, explore the area, or enjoy lunch at one of the nearby restaurants with views of the glacier. The surrounding scenery is equally captivating, with majestic mountains, lakes, and forests providing a stunning backdrop.
Return to El Calafate After a day filled with natural wonders, board the coach for the return trip to El Calafate, where your adventure concludes.

Must do tour! - Tudor was an excellent company to work with. I had personnel changes to make and it was done smoothly. The communication was above expectations. Very quick to respond, thorough. Anna was our guide to the park and her English was excellent. She answered all our questions thoroughly. We had enough time on our own to Tori the glacier boardwalk viewpoints and get a bite. The cafeteria was packed so it was good we brought our own snacks and avoided the cafeteria which was warm anyway. Bathrooms at the park were good. The boat tour was very good. The crew was organized and safely boarded and deboarded us. The captain gave us good views. Melody was good in her explanation and English. Tudor vehicle was modern and comfortable. Group size was under 20 and a good size so we got in and out of stops quickly.

Simply a must-do experience - This is a must-do, and you MUST book the optional boat tour. We warned - the weather between El Calafate and the glacier can be very different - prepare for cooler and possibly wet weather. Even if you think you would not be interested in seeing the glacier, once you are there, you will be glad you went.

Best way to see the Glacier - Well paced , knowledgeable and friendly guide, confident in completing tour in English and Spanish and as we were the only 2 English speaker we were not left out or wondering things
Analia was fabulous and ensured we saw the most we could weather permitting , take clothes for every weather , we had bright sunshine , 90kmph winds , rain and sleet . But the weather just enhanced the experience

Fantastic trip - Perito Moreno Glacier Day Trip & Boat Ride: Worth Every Moment
The full-day trip to Perito Moreno is an essential Patagonian experience, and the added boat navigation transforms it from amazing to truly unforgettable. After exploring the extensive network of boardwalks, which offer breathtaking panoramic views of the glacier's 240-foot face, the one-hour boat ride provides a crucial, up-close perspective. Sailing into the Canal de los Témpanos, you feel the glacier's immense scale and hear the powerful, thunderous cracks as massive chunks of ice calve and crash into the water—a spectacle you might miss from the land. The sheer blue color of the ice seen from the water is mesmerizing, offering photo opportunities that are completely different from the walkways. This combination of land views and water proximity ensures you capture the full majesty of this actively growing natural wonder. It’s an easy, well-organized, and awe-inspiring day that is highly recommended.

Good But Crowded on Boat - Great scenery the boat went as close as allowed and we had great weather. Downside, so crowded on the boat and some people are so focused on taking selfies for a very long time not caring there are other people waiting for photo opportunities

Impressive glacier - The Perito Moreno Glacier is impressive and absolutely worth seeing and we had great weather. So it was a great experience. The 1 - sinful boat trip is also recommended, as you can see the glacier from a different perspective, which is equally impressive.
However, you should NEVER book the tour in advance with shipping, because you pay way too much for that here! The ticket for shipping can be purchased locally for 64,000 ARS, what on the trip to. Glacier was still offered. I should have r. 40€ saved!! That's inappropriate. In addition, you should compare prices from other providers, which were also even cheaper.

Optional boat tour payment is double charge here, Tourist trap - You will be charged additional usd 65 when booked the boat tour via viator with them. Just get your own ticket of boat tour there. in the park the boat tour will be only 63k pesos. And when reached out via viatour, no reward or no partial refund was offered.
