We were hesitant to do the Premium Room because the cost is significantly higher. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the level of service, the quality of the food and the overall experience! From the small breakfast, the Chivas on the glaciar rocks, to a great lunch and the ability to see the glaciares from a small, reserved balcony, the whole thing was fantastic. The information provided at every stop was very detailed too. Tip: do the walkways at the end of the trip ( additional cost) as the crowds have disappeared in the late afternoon.

The moments that the boat was approaching every glacier are unforgivable and provided the best photos/selfies of a lifetime
Boat captain very good at giving excellent views of all the points of interest for all sides of the boat. Very windy, probably all the time…. Be prepared.
Sooo organized—trust the process!!! Comfortable, enjoyable and such a fantastic experience. Recommend to everyone.
We were lucky enough to have the cruise on a beautiful sunny day and it was amazing. Incredible landscape, very informative guide. The boat can carry probably 200-300 passengers, so you should expect a busy ride!
The scenery was amazing and I was very impressed with the efficiency of the crew when we stopped and disembarked at various times on the cruise.
The trip itself was great, breath taking views, great food. Everything on board the boat was just great. The little problem was with potagania dreams agency which was in charge of organising the transport to/from boat. The guide in charge of the way back was barely speaking English, she gave off very confusing and contradicting instructions which lead to two people waiting for the bus at different station and delayed the trip by over an hour. I would recommend booking the trip with marpatag directly
friendliness of the staff, very good explanations, fluidity of the discovery of the park Vert good prestation
This was a unique experience and we highly recommend the tour. It was well organized and the accommodations made for a deluxe and unforgettable adventure. Best way to experience the glaciers.
Everything was good but the close view to the glacier was amazing, the food service was also amazing
Great trip and value for money. Seeing the Glaciers was on my bucket list so very happy. I would only highlight that you have to pay to enter the national park before boarding the boat at the start of the trip and it’s cash only as this wasn’t made clear to us when we booked.
Loved all the glacier views, seeing a condor for the first time and making new friends from around the world…
Well organized trip. We stayed in the boat for about 6 hours to see three different location glaciers and walked on one beach for 0.5 hour. Then they dropped us at the last location to see the panoramic view by foot for one hour before drove us back to the hotel.
The fellow travelers; the cocktail with glacier ice; the good food; the excellent naturalist; the champagne toast.
Excellent trip. Highly recommend. Well organized. Everything was as described. This tour operator deserves 5 stars. The views were amazing.
The glacier boat tour was amazing. Comfortable boat, surprisingly good lunch box and fantastic bi-lingual guides. However the same experience can be purchased at lower price in pesos from local agencies. You can blame it on official exchange rate, but if you got pesos you can have it for almost half the price. Your choice.
Very lovely cruise and a comfortable way to see the 3 glaciers. Staff were very organised and informative and there was plenty of time at each of the viewpoints along the cruise.
Excellent experience. Amazing coordination with all the guides. They explain in English and Spanish beautifully. Too bad people prefer the picture over listening. Friendly and attentive treatment of the crew. An expensive excursion but worth every peso paid.
We did four tours with them, the Perito Moreno, Glacier Gourmet (no doubt the best and most surprising of them), El Chaltén and Nativos Experience and really is a serious and committed company. From the first information to the choice of the best weather days and best tours with our 4-year-old son they were very attentive and careful. They were also punctual, with very cool guides and full of information, new, clean and safe vehicles. In addition, you can pay with card, cash or pix valuing the real currency in exchange. It is worth hiring, super recommend!
Great tour, well organized and punctual. The turquoise maria boat has great facilities, comfortable and clean. The staff is attentive and helpful. The lamb snack was delicious, a pleasant surprise. We made the option of walking on the passages in perito moreno...I recommend this option because we did all the glaciers and it was not necessary to move on another day of 80 km....only for the passages. It was a great walk...
Excellent experience, there is no better way to see the imposing glacier than to approach it and be able to see it in its fullest glory.
Wonderful cruise An unparalleled spectacle Highly highly recommended Just dress warmly and enjoy the show.
Excelente passeio e atendimento. Foi muito bom o trajeto. O almoço, a vistas aos glaciares e icebergs.
It is an extensive and interesting navigation. With opportunities for lots of photos and landscapes to remember. The meal is not good. But the boat bar has cookies, alfajores, croissants and various drinks (alcoholic and not). I think you can bring a more interesting snack than the lunch served (a sandwich and a small pot of dulce de leche mousse). There were a lot of people taking it. There is a second floor on the boat, which seemed to have more sophisticated options and a private terrace.
En el transporte en catamarán no tuvimos buen servicio. Abordo nos informaron q el almuerzo no estaba incluido, el cual estaba incluido en el pago realizado. Que no tenian como comunicarse con la agencia. Nos informaron que debíamos pagar por el almuerzo y que luego con la agencia nosotros deberíamos buscar reembolso. Al final y luego de un muy mal momento, nos sirvieron el almuerzo. Estaba con mi esposa y dos hijos.
Passeio completo passando por todas as geleiras incluindo Perito Moreno. Barco bem confortável e lanche do almoço delicioso.
Costo servicio MALO . Barco sin mantenimiento. Comida regular . Bebida escasa. Parada en punta vaca sin sentido .
Excellent trip! Unique experience. I don't know if they will miss it. I recommend it. Excellent organization and staff. Thanks to our guide Yamila. A genius!!!
The tour was well organized and went very well, although disembarking for the walk in the woods was unnecessary, it would have been preferable to have sailed longer along the Perito Moreno. However, booking through Tripadvisor was a terrible experience, we paid more than double what it would have cost if we had booked directly with the local operator, I believe we were deceived and I will never book anything through Tripadvisor again.
We spent the day as close as possible to the glaciers, this cruise allows us to approach the Spegazzini and Upsala glaciers and also to see El Perito Moreno up close and to do the footbridges, which is exactly what we wanted. We didn't see the day go by with our 2 daughters aged 5 and 7. It's expensive but it's worth it.
La navegación por el Glaciar. La atención de la Tripulación. Aunque la recogida fue un poco tardía por la rotura del micro, después se solucionó todo. Experiencia maravillosa.
El viaje muy lindo, lo recomiendo. Averigue bien los precios. Pague mas de 300 dolares con viator y despues vi que solo costaba 120 dolares
Punctuality, good service and super friendly guide and driver. The agency staff 👍 👍 👍 . Highly recommended

Great experience with good English explanations. Definitely recommended, there is no better way to get so close to the glaciers
Magnificent!! Magnificent cruise with absolutely sublime panoramas Very pleasant staff, and the meal on the boat is delicious. To do without hesitation
Excursion carried out with the SoloPatagonia company on the Patagonia Infinity catamaran. I divide the opinion into 2 parts: the trip itself and the Gourmet experience of the Premium service for which you pay 50% more than the value of the excursion. The rating of the first part is outstanding. Nothing to say about it. The second one's rating is average. For this Premium service for which one pays a premium, the voucher said: ...this option includes breakfast with coffee, tea, orange juice, oatmeal and raisin cookies, and cheese cookies; trio of sweet and savory mini muffins. Then an appetizer: tasting of smoked and Creole (cheeses and cold cuts) accompanied by eggplant pâté with marinated dried tomatoes on toasted bread bruschetta. As a main course, lamb casserole or lentil stew (vegetarian) is offered and as a dessert, dulce de leche mousse with red fruits, crumble and cookies... This was not the case: there was only coffee or tea for breakfast (without bread), a small board with cold cuts and cheeses at 11am and then lunch of just 1 step of lamb or lentil stew of your choice. In the afternoon a rather poor mouse. By 2:00/2:15 p.m. the tour of the glaciers had finished and the slow pace of the catamaran was notable to cover a few miles until arriving at port at 4:00 p.m. (which would only take about 30/40'). Another issue to highlight: the capacity of the VIP lounges varies depending on whether the boat is the Quo Vadis, the Upsala Connection, Patagonia Infinity or Nueva León and it is not the same to share a space with 16, 28 or 42 people as was unfortunately my case. case in the Infinity. Conclusion: the Captain's Club service is paid separately and one pays a significant additional fee for a superior service that should be as detailed at the time of purchase and IT IS NOT. I write this to warn those who want this type of service. It is better to get good advice before hiring and not be surprised on the catamaran as happened to me.
The incredible views. Nature at its finest. A full day getting to know the glaciers of Argentine Patagonia. Really worth it.
We booked the excursion and on the day of it they did not come to pick us up. I never thought they would forget about us. I complained via WhatsApp and after a while they sent us a desperate driver (road with ice and frost!) who took us to look for another couple at the Xelena Suites who they also forgot! Summary, we are late, the ship is almost leaving. OUTRAGEOUS!! IF I MISSED THE EXCURSION I WOULD NOT HAVE ANOTHER DAY TO DO IT. THEY ARE IRRESPONSIBLE.
Experiência incrível!! Recomendo ir com muita roupa… touca, luva, balaclava… o frio e o vento gelado são muito fortes! Mas é espetacular!!! Embarcação confortável, climatizada, banheiros limpos, lanche de cordeiro bem gostoso, pequena lanchonete a bordo, guias em espanhol e inglês.
Very good experience, very good service! I had the food included. anyone who can contract with food do it because it is worth eating at the Shelter in front of the Spegazzini Glacier is priceless! Amazing view place and experience! The super attentive guides very organized everything! I recommend this excursion 100%
Very good professionals and always punctual, when I return I will do the tours with them without doubt.
It was all great! From the super-well-disposed drivers as well as the guides, to the Tour Service and WhatsApp Customer Service, very attentive and honest always, super recommended
Seeing the Sentilo Glaciers is wonderful%!! Amazing to be there I never lived anything like it! Nature is amazing!
This tour is one of the best I have ever done in Patagonia. The ship staff very friendly and the snack served also very tasty. I ate the vegetarian and it was very good. The landscape is indescribable. Going to Patagonia and not making this tour, loses much in knowledge of glaciers.
A nice way to discover glaciers and get close to them. The gourmet basket was also excellent. I recommend the grilled lamb sandwich, a delight.
Paisagens de tirar o fôlego. Catamarã confortável, limpo e tripulação atenciosa. Almoço, um sanduíche gigante,, legumes e sobremesa .
The boat tour through Lake Argentino was fantastic. We visited several glaciers, were driven very close and had a lot of time in front of the glaciers. The accompanying explanations of the crew in Spanish and English were informative and comprehensive - top. We had booked the variant with disembarkation at Perito Moreno Glacier. I wouldn't recommend that, because you don't have so much time there. Better to stay on the ship and come back to the PM Glacier again. Overall, I definitely recommend the tour!
Excellent, A unique and unforgettable landscape, the imposing glaciers did not reach the eyes to see so much beauty, dream fulfilled.
We choose the option with lunch included (4 steps menu). When we arrived at the boat we were greeted with infusions and rich things. The impeccable lunch! If they can afford it, that's the option. Eating a delicious menu (lamb patty, pumpkin soup, lamb with different sides, fruit ice cream and white chocolate mousse) in front of those wonderful views is a unique experience. Service throughout was excellent. Glaciers have a beauty that you can't believe, being there is really impressive. In the middle the walk to stall of the cows did not seem like a big deal, but it serves to stretch a little legs and nice walk in the forest. Then we made the walkways and you have a very different view of the brown expert to the one seen from the boat, it is really worth doing!!
