Review of the 14-hour Perito Moreno Glacier tour from Puerto Natales, with border tips, costs, transport details, and advice for English speakers.
“The reason for my trip!! Long day but such an wonderful experience. You have to wake up early to be at the border early and avoid all the tourist buses! WiFi along the way, a guide when you arrive to Calafate and you can do the boat trip when you arrive (paid separately). At the boarder there is a coffe place and there are WC and another two stops along the way if needed. This experience is so worth it!! Every single cent!! 100% recommend”

“We had an incredible day with the turismo21demayo crew on the catamaran! Unbelievably beautiful sites all day including the glaciers and waterfalls. Lunch on the ranch was fabulous! Far exceeded our expectations! The crew on the boat went out of their way to help us when we realized that we were going to arrive back too late to miss our bus back to Punta Arenas that evening. They arranged for the owner of the company to come and meet us at the peer in his vehicle and race us to the bus station. So kind and over the top generous! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Well worth…”
