Friendly staff on the boat tour with VIP lounge with 14 other guests and private deck in the wind-protected stern. On January 24, 2026, at approx. 18-21°C. I had salmon with vegetables as my main course, unfortunately it was completely dry and tasteless. The 35-minute walk break was nice. I chose the "Perito Moreno exit" option, which means that a shuttle bus waits at the pier and drives a little way up the mountain to the footpaths with a view of the glacier, which I could hear about every 5-10 minutes (calving, mostly inside). Cool paths and almost 2 hours until the return trip in the minibus to El Calafate. Except for the food and the slightly too high price, a great tour.

Had SUCH a wild time on this glacier cruise. The boat itself is super comfy, almost felt like being in a floating living room. We got up sooo close to the ice, it’s honestly hard to describe. My boyfriend kept taking pics every five seconds (the staff gave him a playful eye roll, lol). Food was legit good, and I’m not usually into fancy lunches. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Did the Glaciares Gourmet tour with my girlfriend and honestly—WOW. The boat ride felt suuuper smooth, barely any rocking (I get seasick easy so that’s huge). Views of Perito Moreno and Upsala glacierrrrs are just IRRESISTIBLE. Staff kept offering us coffee, and the deck was never overcrowded (maybe cause we went early season?). The walk at Bahia Las Vacas was chill, not super long, and our guide made us laugh. Bring a windbreaker, trust me! Oh, and try to snag seats on the left side of the boat for the best glacier pics.

Went on Glaciares Gourmet with my partner and honestly, just WOW. Never seen ice like this before! The boat was super cozy even though it was freezing outside—bring extra socks if ur feet get cold easy. Loved sipping coffee while we floated past the blue ice walls. The staff were super friendly, always checking if we needed anything. Only downside, the lunch portions were kinda small but tasty. 100% would go again, maybe in summer next time.

Went with two friends, and we all agreed – the views are next level. We saw a chunk of glacier fall into the water (crazy loud). Staff was friendly but felt a bit rushed when getting us back on the boat after the little hike. Bring a windbreaker, the deck gets chilly fast! Solid trip, just wish it lasted longer.
