The Blue Safari is designed for those who, in addition to sailing in front of the Perito Moreno Glacier, dream of getting closer to the glacier ice!
The excursion begins in El Calafate when the bus leaves for Los Glaciares National Park. Once in Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, just 7 km from the catwalks, we will take a boat to cross Lake Rico and, after sailing for 20 minutes, we will disembark on the opposite coast.
Little by little we will walk for 30 minutes always with a view of the southern wall of the Glacier in case some thunderous landslide surprises us. Once next to the ice it will be time for an unforgettable experience... We will be able to fully enjoy its intense and varied blues, whites and its whimsical shapes.
We will have time to take many photos and then we will return to the boarding place always accompanied by an experienced guide. The total walk is approximately 1.30 hours.

My problem is with the tour company and not the experience itself. I had initially booked the ice trekking tour back in September for our tour in January. I had pretty much booked my flights, itinerary, stays ALL around the ice trekking; however, within 2 weeks of the experience, they canceled the ice trekking on us saying there was no more room on the tour despite us having booked MONTHS earlier. I was beyond frustrated with the company as I would have changed plans had they let me know earlier but with 2 weeks notice, there were no more options left. This left me gutted as I reached out to so many other companies to see what options I had.
Ultimately, I accepted that there were no other options and chose this Blue Safari tour which was alright with the same company. I would say, don't bother booking with this tour company since they are completely unreliable and book directly with Hielo & Aventura. Hielo & Aventura is the company that can 100% confirm whether your booking is confirmed or not so don't bother with any of these 3rd-party vendors that are completely unprofessional and unempathetic when they cancel on you last minute because of their own shortcomings and lack of follow-through

To begin with, we spent 2 hours picking people up from the hotels, the guide was terrible, very unprofessional or knew nothing about the place. We arrived at Perito Moreno which is wonderful and they gave us only 1 hour to explore the
Catwalks!!!! A shame we couldn't see almost anything.

An alternative and more affordable experience to mini trekking for those who want to get up close to the Perito Moreno Glacier. Punctual agency, I didn't have any problems. I recommend!

Great company and guides.
The tour was excellent, allowing you to see the expert from different angles: from the water, land and from the walkways.
I was unsure about which tour to take and I think it was the best choice.
