Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Dov PWashington DC, DC138 contributionsLong day to the 'edge of the world' with a breathtaking view of the national park.
The tour stops at several viewpoints and offers a nice hike.
Few notes:
- It is a long day from 7 am to 10 pm
- There is a bathroom stop every ~1.5 to 2 hoursWritten 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Seattletravell0verSeattle, WA4 contributionsOur guide on the bus driving out was knowledgeable and enjoyable as well as efficient. We had a great experience! The boat was a fantastic add on. highly recommend.Written 4 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- April A2 contributionsOn time, good coordination. The transportation to the glaciers was effective and fast. Allows for a lot of time to take pictures and walk around the different trails to see the glaciers. The boat tour is a must - it was super nice to see the glaciers up close as well. Got to touch a piece of fallen glacier!Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mirna B3 contributionsThe tour was great. We were brought to the glacier with a couple different viewpoints, and then we had three hours on the boardwalks, partially guided by our guide Nadia, who is phenomenal, and partially on our own. Then we did the boat tour, which was really good too. There was a very cute shop with food and souvenirs. Also that we stopped at. The glacier is breathtaking. Definitely worth a day if you’re in the El Calafate area.Written 22 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Martha S15 contributionsBest way to see all 5 glaciers of the National Park. The tour guides, boat crew and photographers were very professional and friendly. We got some amazing views even witnessing some of the ice falling in the water and some great icebergs floating close by. Lunch was very tasty. The whole tour was very organized and fun.Written 22 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SAjulioCollege Station, TX186 contributionsIt's a long journey with a couple of amazing sights. The view of the Andes was spectacular and the water fall was also very interesting. Seeing a condor soaring was special. The lunch was very good. The guide was pleasant and very informative. The problem with this tour is that it's a lot of time on the bus and then two hours in El Chalten to walk around. I would have preferred more natural sights.Written 29 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hazel G15 contributionsThis was an incredible experience - trekking the world’s 3rd largest glacier, after only Antarctica and Greenland! Our guides - Nicholas (and Leandro), provided great information about the glaciers and showed the trek’s highlights. Nicholas took pictures of trek participants in areas with the best views. The tour ended with whisky toasts, paired with chocolate!
Be forewarned though - although brief, the trek was strenuous, with the added weight of the crampons. Once the catamaran sails, there is no access to food so regardless of what the website says, you must pack lunch.
This is a must do in El Calafate!Written 20 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Minh NgoVietnam27 contributionsSantiago was amazing. Though there was a big group of mostly Spanish speakers leaving only me and one other lovey British bloke; he still make sure to spend time to talk in English for us about Patagonia heritages such as the cave formation, different type of natives, and ancient paintings.
The dinner at the small half dome cave has fantastic view. While it was a short trip ( 3 hours), it was well worth it. Gracias.Written 13 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had a group of about 15 folks, picked up at our hotel, delivered to a first class adventure. Wine, water, liquor, a hot lunch, plated and served to us. I would choose the "full bore" option again, there was not a crowd on the deck for taking pictures, it was virtually unobstructed and we met some nice folks. One couple even became engaged on our trip, that was how nice this tour is!!Written 30 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Samantha D2 contributionsThis is a brilliant day, certainly one of the highlights of our Patagonia trip!
Eduardo and his team are all very knowledgeable and helpful. The kayaking on a milky blue river was amazing. (They have all the kit you need). Eduardo is clearly passionate about the geology of the area and was brilliant with explanations of different features along the trek, particularly petrified trees and dinosaur fossils!
The snacks and cold beer were a lovely touch, and also the photos.
Don't hesitate, book it!Written 1 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Saira was so passionate as a tour guide and very knowledgeable. She check on everyone making sure they are safe. Also, she get a good pictures. Very patient to my group since I had seniors with us travelling. Lucky to have her as our tour guide!! Thumbs up!! The place is amazing!!!!Written 17 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Portal Hopper17 contributionsWell worth getting up on the glacier when you visit Perito Moreno! A boat ride and short hike take you and fellow tour companies to the base of the glacier, with a fairly easy uphill ice trek in crampons. Simple enough for my 9-year-old (who had a blast on the ice). Amazing views and a unique experience; guide went out of his way to make the trek both informative and interactive with the group. An excellent adventure for the whole family!Written 17 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- T-Rex77Toronto, Canada2 contributionsExcellent adventure into the hills and onto the steppes outside of El Calafate in a small jeep type 4X4. We made several stops to see all the beauty. Amazing landscapes and panoramic views. Saw some condors and other birds, hares, guanacos. Lunch at estancia was fantastic, hosts regaled us there with Spanish songs while playing their acoustic guitar. Guides were excellent. Totally authentic experience and worth every penny!Written 19 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Heather KSydney, Australia20 contributionsThe most incredible tour. Really informative guide who spoke both English & Spanish. Stopped at a great look out, then onto a 1 hr boat tour up close to the glacier, then had 2 hours to complete a walk of a choice of 3 and have some afternoon tea. Best day ever. The glacier is just fantastic.Written 26 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
