Full description

Start the tour with a pickup from your hotel in El Calafate around 7:00 AM to undertake the 47km route to the Punta Bandera Port where your boat departs at 9:00 AM. 

The first part of the trip takes place in the north arm of the Argentino Lake before crossing into the Boca del Diablo, the narrowest part of the lake.

Then, go to the Upsala and Spegazzini channels where you can view the respective glaciers. The Upsala Glacier is the largest on Argentino Lake and can be seen from about 20km away. The Spegazzini Glacier is the highest and you can also see the Dry, Heim Sur, and Peineta glaciers.

After entering the Spegazzini Channel, a 300-meter path will be crossed without difficulty through the forest along the coast of the lake making stops at viewpoints overlooking the entire Bay of Glaciers. 

Arrive at the Spegazzini Refuge where you can enjoy an optional 3-course lunch with drinks, visit the shop, and contemplate the landscape from the terrace. 

For those who enjoy walking, the mountain path offers a 700m trek of medium difficulty through a wooded path with natural viewpoints of the Spegazzini Glacier ending at the landing point. Return to the boat and head back to El Calafate where you’ll be dropped off back at your hotel.

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Boat trip to Upsala and Spegazzini channels

Good communication from patagonia dreams about pick up. I booked the captains club which was a private (16seats) in front with the captain and included food and drinks and a guide. If you can spare the extra $ I definitely recommend. Relaxing day viewing the glaciers and a iceberg.

We splurged for Captain’s Club and it was well worth it. Roomy comfortable seats. We had only 8 people in a private room that may hold 30. Great window viewing. Private balcony. Wine, appetizers. Private lunch area at the destination. Great private English park guide
