About This Experience

A tour that combines the Grey Glacier boat with the park's main viewpoints, with transport from Puerto Natales throughout. Pickup is between 6:00 and 6:30. You enter by the Serrano gate and check in at Hotel Lago Grey by 9:00 for a 10:00 sailing. The captain confirms departure on the day.

The boat trip lasts 2 hours 45 minutes: an hour to reach the glacier, an hour along its faces, and the return to port. After landing around 13:00 you head east to the Lake Pehoé viewpoint, the 15-minute walk to Salto Grande, the Lake Nordenskjöld viewpoint facing the Cuernos, and the Laguna Amarga entrance for the three towers.

On the way out you stop at the Paine waterfall and the Laguna Amarga viewpoint before returning to Puerto Natales around 18:00. If the sailing is cancelled, the operator refunds the excursion.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.6/5 by 18 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

Fabulous day, can recommend. The boat through the icebergs and then up close to the glacier - awesome to see nature at work. Then Javier took us to his favorite places in the park, waterfall, lookouts, every one spectacular. Wonderful.

It was really nice! We were the only ones on the tour so we basically got a private tour! Our guide Javier would point out different sites and relay some info regarding the point of interest. He also slowed down or stopped when we wanted to take photos of certain spots. Since it was only my friend and I, we basically operated on our own time. He whatsapp us to introduce himself, and to let us know his ETA. The first part is the boat around Grey Lake. Would highly recommend bringing your snacks and packed lunch with you as the second half of the boat tour leaves a lot of time for eating with an amazing view. There are no bathrooms after pick up until you get to the entrance to check in with your QR code. Then there i are bathrooms at the Hotel Lago Grey where your guide will pick up tickets, and again at the entrance where you walk to Lago grey and the boat tour. Darn, maxed out on character limit for the review

The whole trip was spectacular. The people on the catamaran and Daniela, who was our driver, were very friendly. An unforgettable experience!
