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…”

“Our friendly guide Ignacio and Chris (our driver) made the trip so relaxing and comfortable – they planned the trip perfectly – we went to the most beautiful scenic viewpoints the park has to offer. Ignacio was great throughout our trip, he spoke Spanish and translate it into perfect English for us, gave us lots of interesting information just about everything along the way. Both Ignacio and Chris were constantly looking out for wildlife to show us. Just short of the Puma, we saw almost all the wild animals. I just wish we had a little more time to take the overlook trail up to the top of Milodon Cave.…”

The guide was fantastic - he was great when I was asking about negotiating activities with dyspraxia and didn’t make a fuss when I decided not to do something. Absolutely stunning part of our beautiful planet. Definitely recommend the tour: the mastodon cave wasn’t very exciting and I’m not sure the walk to the grey glacier ever actually happens but it doesn’t seem like it would add much anyway but I cannot overstate how beautiful the whole place is.”

Secondly, Cueva Milodon is remarkable. However, the day is made by the tour guide. Our guide, Gerardo, spoke fantastic English, was enthusiastic and engaging, but most of all, knew his subject. So, we learned about the geology of the area, the history (both good and bad) of the region and the best sites to see. There were numerous stops for amazing photos, a hike to a waterfall, stops for coffee and snacks and plenty of H2O.…”
