A private full-day trip from El Calafate that pairs a nautical safari with hours on the catwalks and a quiet beach-side lunch at Canal de los Témpanos. Up-close glacier views, expert guiding, and easier pacing than standard group tours.

The boat slips from the port and the glacier fills the horizon: blue ice cliffs scarred with crevasses, the air tasting of mineral cold. A private transfer from El Calafate carries a small group across the Patagonian steppe, past Lake Argentino’s broad shoulder, toward the roar and hush that define Perito Moreno. On the water the glacier’s scale becomes obvious — faces that dare you to watch as ice calves and tumbles into the canal.

Wildlife
History
Perito Moreno sits inside Los Glaciares National Park, protected since 1937; the glacier is named after explorer Francisco Moreno and remains one of the few advancing outlet glaciers.
Conservation
Stay on marked catwalks and carry out all waste; the park manages visitor flow to limit erosion and disturbance to fragile steppe and forest edges.
Reserve your spot on the Perito Moreno Sole today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Layer and waterproof
Weather changes rapidly near the glacier—bring a warm midlayer and a waterproof shell to stay comfortable during boat and shore time.
Sturdy, non-slip footwear
Catwalks and beach access can be wet and icy; hiking shoes with good traction make walking the viewpoints safer and more enjoyable.
Bring binoculars and a camera
Binoculars help you study crevasses and distant calving events while a zoom lens captures scale and texture from the catwalks and boat.
Timing matters
Morning departures generally have calmer winds and softer light for photos; avoid peak summer afternoons if you prefer fewer people.
Waterproof jacket
Protects against wind, spray from the boat, and sudden rain or snow near the glacier.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction and ankle support for wet catwalks and uneven beachfront terrain.
Binoculars
Helps you observe calving, crevasses and distant wildlife from viewpoints and the boat.
Sunglasses & sunscreen
Sun reflects intensely off ice and water; UV protection reduces glare and sunburn risk.
