Glacier Tours in Torres del Paine: 5 Picked and Priced

1.Torres del Paine: 3-Hour Scenic Boat Tour to Grey Glacier

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 283 reviews · 4 hours · from $120Our pick

From Hotel Lago Grey, walk across Grey Beach and board a safe, roomy catamaran for a three-hour cruise toward Grey Glacier. You will see blue ice, floating icebergs, mountains, and sometimes several glacier fronts. English and Spanish guides explain the scenery, and one pisco sour is included.

“The tour itself was excellent. The onboard staff was great, we saw glaciers up close, got explanations of what we were seeing in English and Spanish. The boat has plenty of comfortable seats. We had drinks and snacks on board. (one Prisco sour is included in the price) You do have to walk about 40-50 minutes to get to the boat which is located on a crushed stone beach. There are no places to sit and rest - you also walk on a wobbly little bridge and some parts are uphill. Just make sure to leave yourself enough time to get to and from the boat. Also check your booking…”
