A paisagem é fantástica, as recepções foram boas, mas a embarcação é muito apertada, não tinha espaço para os pés, debaixo da mesa, por causa dos pés da pessoa da frente. O preço é muito caro, para o que oferece. Poderia ter incluído um almoço, pelo menos. Translate this opinion into English.

The landscape is fantastic, the receptions were good, but the boat is very cramped, there was no room for feet, under the table, because of the feet of the person in front. The price is very expensive for what it offers. It could have included lunch at least. Opinion translated. Show original.

Passeios excelente! Transfer pontual, tanto na ida, quanto na volta. Paisagens incríveis. Nunca havia visto algo tão belo da natureza como ela realmente é! No glaciar Spezanni construíram recente um ouro mirante e após o Natal, disseram que irão construir mais um. Estão investindo no local.

Demasiada gente en el barco. Gracias a qué en algún momento puedes salir a cubierta porque si como a nosotros, te toca en el interior en el centro, no ves nada. También deberían advertir que al barco no le dejan acercarse a menos de 16 km del glaciar Upsala, pero en la publicidad lo venden muy bien. Por lo demás la excursión está muy bien y ves imágenes alucinantes. Translate this opinion into English.

Too many people on the boat. Thankfully, you can go out on deck at some point, because if you are on the inside in the middle, like us, you don't see anything. They should also warn you that the boat is not allowed to get within 16 km of the Upsala glacier, but they sell it very well in the advertising. Otherwise, the excursion is very good and you see amazing images. Opinion translated. Show original.

Es una excursión imprescindible desde El Calafate. Las vistas y los paisajes son indescriptibles y, sólo por eso, merece la pena cada euro que cuesta. Porque, efectivamente, no es barato. Pero alucino con algunos comentarios ya que la organización es perfecta y EFICIENTE, si dejaran que cada uno hiciera lo que quiere, sería un desastre para la mayoría. Sobra tiempo para fotos donde quieras, sólo cierran para los fotógrafos 2m en proa y el barco va girando, así que puedes hacer la misma foto tú.. Translate this opinion into English.

It is an essential excursion from El Calafate. The views and landscapes are indescribable and, for that reason alone, it is worth every euro it costs. Because, indeed, it is not cheap. But I am amazed by some comments since the organization is perfect and EFFICIENT, if they let everyone do what they want, it would be a disaster for most. There is plenty of time for photos wherever you want, they only close 2m at the bow for photographers and the boat turns, so you can take the same photo yourself. Opinion translated. Show original.

O passeio é lindo, os locais e paisagens que vemos são realmente impressionantes. Porém, é um tempo bastante longo de navegação. Peguei temperatura amena e bastante vento. O refúgio onde paramos para almoçar tem uma vista espetacular, com tomadas para carregar celulares, mas pouquíssimas opções de comidas e bebidas. Melhor levar o próprio lanche. Não vi o cardápio do almoço, só da lanchonete.

É um espetáculo este passeio. Embarcações en estado excelente. Guias muito atenciosos. Organização muito boa. As paisagens valem cada centavo pago. Tudo na medida certa e a parada no recanto Spegazzini é estratégica (banheiro e comida). Tudo muito bem organizado.

Más que una excursión fue contratar un chofer para trasladarnos del hotel al barco y vuelta. La chica que nos llevó prácticamente no habló y no nos explicó nada. Las navegaciones por los glaciares y la del canal beagle espectaculares, merece la pena sin duda, pero lo contrataría con otra empresa si tuviera que volver a hacerlo

More than an excursion, it was hiring a driver to take us from the hotel to the boat and back. The girl who took us practically didn't speak and didn't explain anything to us. The navigations through the glaciers and the Beagle Channel are spectacular, it's definitely worth it, but I would hire another company if I had to do it again.

O passeio é muito bom... apesar de um pouco cansativo. Recomendo utilizar o transfer já que a viagens do centro de El Calafate até o porto dura uns 40 minutos. O barco é muito confortável e qdo fomos não estava cheio, pena que estava com nuvens e prejudicou a vista. Almoço caro pelo que entregam ( porções pequenas e sem muita opção)

En si, la actividad en barco y todo lo asociado estuvo muy bien. A lo que le pongo una nota negativa es al servicio de recogida y traslado a la actividad porque se trataba de un autocar antiguo que finalmente en el viaje de regreso se rompió y debimos cambiar a otros de otras empresas que nos recogieron en la carretera. Adicionalmente, el guía no explicó casi nada a la ida y a la vuelta ni siquiera estaba por lo que otros pasajeros debimos actuar de intérprete para los pasajeros de habla inglesa

In itself, the boat activity and everything associated was very good. What I give a negative note to is the pick-up and transfer service to the activity because it was an old coach that finally broke down on the return trip and we had to change to others from other companies that picked us up on the road. Additionally, the guide did not explain almost anything on the way there and on the way back, he was not even there, so other passengers had to act as interpreter for the English-speaking passengers.

Lamentamos el incidente con el vehículo y las molestias que esto haya podido ocasionar. Nuestro equipo local intentó solucionarlo rápidamente y se envió un vehículo adicional. Por otro lado, nos confirman que el guía brindó las explicaciones de costumbre, además de brindar asistencia durante el viaje para quien lo necesitara, ya que habla inglés fluidamente. Translate this opinion into English.

We regret the incident with the vehicle and the inconvenience this may have caused. Our local team attempted to resolve this quickly and an additional vehicle was dispatched. On the other hand, they confirm that the guide provided the usual explanations, in addition to providing assistance during the trip for whoever needed it, since he speaks English fluently.

Passeio bem diferente, vale bastante a pena para ver os Glaciares e todo o caminho que o barco percorre é muito bonito. Tem que comprar ingresso antes porque não está incluso no passeio. O guia foi péssimo, a partir do momento que saímos do ônibus ele desapareceu e não deu nenhum auxílio em nada, fui informado comprar a entrada do parque pelo Rio Mitre quando na verdade era pelo Puerto Bandera, por sorte ninguém barrou nossas entradas, mas a informação havia sido passada pela própria empresa. Translate this opinion into English.

A very different trip, it's worth it to see the Glaciers and the entire path the boat takes is very beautiful. You have to buy a ticket in advance because it is not included in the tour. The guide was terrible, from the moment we got off the bus he disappeared and didn't give any help at all, I was told to buy the entrance to the park via the Miter River when in fact it was via Puerto Bandera, luckily no one blocked our entrances, but the information had been passed on by the company itself.

The trip was really well done. Although it’s a big boat and lots of people, we stopped at a large iceberg and then at the Spegazzini glacier which was amazing for a very long time. So there was lots of time for everyone to look and take pictures. Would recommend it.

Interesante y fascinante travesía, icebergs y glaciares espectaculares como el Uppsala y el Spegazzini. La parada en el refugio permite realizar fotos sin prisas. Las explicaciones de la guía, interesantes e instructivas. Lástima de algunos pasajeros poco respetuosos por sus conversaciones a gritos que impedían oír bien. Translate this opinion into English.

O passeio é lindo, a experiência é incrível. No dia anterior a empresa responsável entrou em contato para passar as instruções sobre o dia do passeio. A reserva pelo civitatis funcionou perfeitamente. No momento do embarque o time local oferece a experiência vip, por um preço bem aceitável, compramos na hora e valeu muito a pena. Recomendo a todos que façam a reserva pelo civitatis e, se puderem, façam o passeio na área vip. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is beautiful, the experience is incredible. The day before, the responsible company got in touch to give instructions on the day of the tour. The reservation through civitatis worked perfectly. When boarding, the local team offers the VIP experience, for a very acceptable price, we bought it on the spot and it was worth it. I recommend everyone to book through civitatis and, if you can, take the tour in the VIP area. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad consistió únicamente en el transfer de ida y vuelta del Calafate a Puerto Bandera. Una vez allí accedimos al barco gestionado por el Parque Nacional junto con otras muchas personas. Es un mero transfer, no una excursión y no nos explicaron nada.

The activity consisted solely of the round trip transfer from Calafate to Puerto Bandera. Once there we accessed the boat managed by the National Park together with many other people. It is a mere transfer, not an excursion and nothing was explained to us.

Dependiendo de la época del año puede haber un mayor número de visitantes. Sentimos si la actividad no cumplió con tus expectativas. Tendremos todo esto en cuenta para seguir mejorando el servicio que ofrecemos. Translate this opinion into English.

Impactante! De las actividades más lindas que se pueden hacer en El Calafate. Imprescindible visitar el Parque Nacional Los Glaciares si uno tiene la oportunidad. Los guías a bordo brindan mucha información y el paseo es muy agradable, además de hacer paradas para hacer fotos y apreciar la inmensidad de los témpanos y glaciares. Maravillosa experiencia!

shocking! One of the most beautiful activities that can be done in El Calafate. It is essential to visit Los Glaciares National Park if you have the opportunity. The guides on board provide a lot of information and the walk is very pleasant, as well as making stops to take photos and appreciate the immensity of the icebergs and glaciers. Wonderful experience!

El viaje en barco excelente, las maravillas que se ven, la tripulacion encantadora. El conductor del transporte muy bueno. Lo peor es la organizacion de la recogida del transporte que citan a todo el mundo a la misma hora y si te toca el ultimo te toca esperar media hora, ademas no te avisan con lo cual te crea la tension de si se han olvidado de ti. Me parece fatal que la guia que acompaña no avise de cosas como que las personas con discapacidad tienen acceso preferente al barco. Translate this opinion into English.

The excellent boat trip, the wonders that are seen, the charming crew. The driver of transport very good. The worst thing is the organization of the collection of the transport that summons everyone at the same time and if you have the last one you have to wait half an hour, they also do not notify you, which creates tension if they have forgotten about you . It seems fatal to me that the accompanying guide does not warn of things like that people with disabilities have preferential access to the boat. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo OK. Recogida a tiempo al hotel. Chofer Carlos muy amable, dio las indicaciones correctas para los trámites de abordaje. Catamaran con cabinas cómodas. Muy buenas explicaciones. Demasiado insistentes con las fotografías a la venta. Capitan un tanto autoritario, pidiendo silencio a cada rato. El lugar en todo caso es fantástico, hace olvidar cualquier pequeña molestia. Se tomó tiempo más que suficiente frente a cada glaciar. El refugio muy cómodo, buenos precios para comprar comida. Translate this opinion into English.

All OK. Pick up on time at the hotel. Driver Carlos very kind, gave the correct instructions for the boarding procedures. Catamaran with comfortable cabins. Very good explanations. Too insistent with the photographs for sale. Captain somewhat authoritarian, asking for silence at all times. In any case, the place is fantastic, it makes you forget about any small inconvenience. More than enough time was taken in front of each glacier. The shelter is very comfortable, good prices to buy food. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tudo ótimo, gostei de tudo. Única coisa que não gostei foi das fotógrafas que ficam no barco tentando vender as fotos, e competido com os turista os espaços.. Eu quero tirar minhas fotos, não posso chegar nos melhores lugares, pq as bonitas estão lá fazendo o trabalho delas. Foi o que não gostei o resto perfeito. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was great, I liked everything. The only thing I didn't like was the photographers who stayed on the boat trying to sell the photos, and competing with the tourists for the spaces.. I want to take my photos, I can't get to the best places, because the beautiful ones are there doing their work. That's what I didn't like about the perfect rest. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ah mais um passeio muito bom! Além do Perito Moreno, existem outros glaciares em El Calafate e a paisagem é imperdível! Neste passeio temos o conforto de ficar no barco com vista panorâmica de todo lago e glaciares, podemos acessar também a parte de fora para tirar fotos e apreciar. Amei tudo!
