The Safari Náutico excursion offers a unique and unforgettable experience: a one-hour boat tour along the south face of the imposing Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the most admired natural icons of Los Glaciares National Park and Patagonia. This tour gets you close to the glacier from the water, providing a completely different perspective than the one you have from the traditional balconies.
The Safari Nautico begins at Port Bajo las Sombras, located at 70 kilometers from El Calafate and on the shores of the Brazo Rico (Rico Branch) of Lake Argentino. This departure point is ideal for those visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier in their own vehicle. Once the boat departs for the glacier, an experience begins that combines excitement, awe, and direct contact with one of the world's most impressive natural wonders.
The tour takes place aboard a comfortable, enclosed boat with panoramic windows that provide a clear view of the glacier. It also features heated interior spaces and outdoor areas that invite you to step outside to take photographs or simply admire the landscape from a direct and exciting perspective.
During the excursion, the boat cruises slowly past the southern face of the Perito Moreno Glacier, allowing you to observe it from a privileged vantage point, fully connected to the surroundings.
This tour is an experience that awakens the senses and leaves an emotional mark on those who take it. The majesty of the ice, the silence of nature interrupted only by the creaking of the glacier, and the closeness achieved from the water make this tour one of the most memorable moments of your trip to El Calafate.
With several daily departures and a service accessible to all visitors, the Safari Nautico is the perfect excursion to contemplate the size of the glacier from a close distance that excites and leaves an indelible mark on the memory of each visitor.
