Review of Perito Moreno Minitrekking from El Calafate, with crampons, boat crossing, glacier walk, walkways, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“AVOID. this is a re-sale of an experience operated completely by another company, with no value-add by the reseller. Book directly with Hielo y Aventura and save a lot of money. Also, the communication is misleading, it implies you won't have any access to food during the excursion, but one of the very first stops is the main park center, which has a cafeteria.”

“O traslado foi excelente. Transporte adequado, limpo e profissionais que nos receberam educados, simpáticos e atenciosos.

Review the private Perito Moreno Glacier transfer from El Calafate, with walkways, optional boat time, wildlife stops, costs, and practical tips.
“The transfer company is Viajar En Patagonia and they were excellent. Was contacted a few days prior (and the day before) to confirm and have any questions answered. Our driver, Bismar, was on time and provided excellent service - he was friendly and knowledgeable. Highlights included stopping to see wildlife and arranging the boat tour around the glacier. We had plenty of time to walk the trails on our own. Highly recommend! Be aware that during high season, the cost to enter the park and for the boat tour are exorbitant compared to off-season.”

Review of El Calafate’s Perito Moreno glacier cruise, with gourmet dining, hotel transfers, short hike, premium cabin, and practical tips.
“We were waiting at the hotel front door for picking up for this tour. The tour guide didn’t show up passing the pick up time. Then we found that the tour was canceled while we were asleep at night, nine hours before the departure time. It left us with no other choices because all the Glacier tours from other companies have left for the day, we scheduled to be in town for only one day for this tour and we had booked the flight to fly out of the town the following day. Our hearts turned cold at that moment- is this what we get from flying thousands of miles…”

“Perito Moreno is an amazing glacier and definitely worth the trip. There are different paths to take to view the glacier. We took them all except for the full blue path all within two hours. A huge shoutout to Get Your Guide for arranging a driver (Christian, who was amazing) who not only took us to the glacier but all the way to our Hotel in Torres last Paine Patagonia. The van was very nice and it even had StarLink. Thanks for making it all work!!”
