Customer Reviews
One of the best experiences I have ever had! I went in 2023 and everything was outstanding. They offer so many different experiences from horse back riding to hiking glaciers and they are very worth it. Definitely book this remote adventure if you want something different.
We were a bit unsure whether to book this because it’s a full-day tour and we usually prefer to explore independently. But I am so glad we did — it ended up being the best day of our entire month in Argentina. The whole experience feels magical from start to finish. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, the boat is beautiful and spotless, and every staff member we met was fantastic — friendly, organised, and clearly passionate about what they do. The 3-course lunch with wine was a real highlight too: high quality, generous portions, and served at individual tables rather than buffet-style. We chose the Glacier Upsala viewpoint option, which includes the 4x4 drive up the mountain and a short hike at the top. The views up there are incredible — genuinely a must-see if you’re visiting the El Calafate area. If you’re hesitating like we were… just do it. It’s absolutely worth it.
The trekking experience is great. The lookout of the Upsala glacier is wonderful. You can experience the strong winds and the astonishing views. Guides are super friendly. El trekking y el mirador del glaciar Upsala son increĂbles. Vale la pena.
