Beagle Channel: Small-Group Yacht Tour & Minitrek UshuaiaYou’ll board a small yacht in Ushuaia for up-close views of cormorants and sea lions along the Beagle Channel, hear stories at Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, and walk among ancient Yámana shell mounds on Bridges Island with your local guide. Expect wild weather, laughter over hot drinks, and moments that linger long after you’re back ashore.
Perito Moreno Glacier Tour: Full Day with Boat Safari in El CalafateThis full-day tour from El Calafate takes you by vehicle through the Patagonian steppe to Los Glaciares National Park, where you walk multiple viewing balconies overlooking Perito Moreno Glacier and learn how its ice bridge forms. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included; a bilingual guide leads the day. You can add a 1-hour boat ride through Rico Branch of Lago Argentino to drift past floating icebergs and watch ice detach from the glacier wall — the boat option depends on your choice at checkout. The park entrance fee is separate. You'll return to El Calafate around 5 p.m.Is it for me?Book the tour with the boat safari if you want to see the glacier from two angles — the viewing platforms give you the scale and detail, and the boat ride puts you close enough to watch ice calve into the lake. Choose the tour without the boat if you prefer more time to walk the park's balconies at your own pace or if you're traveling with very young children or anyone who finds stairs difficult.
Torres del Paine 4x4 Tour: Paine Towers ReflectedA full-day 4x4 overland tour from El Calafate crosses the Patagonian steppe to Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, 300 km south, with a live guide, hotel pickup and boxed lunch included. The tour stops at Lago Nordenskjöld, Salto Grande waterfall and Pehoe Lake, with low-difficulty walks to panoramic viewpoints. Park entry is available as an add-on at checkout depending on which option you choose.Is it for me?The 4x4 option suits travelers who want to cover the park's highlights in one day without renting a car or navigating the border crossing themselves — the truck's performance on unpaved roads cuts travel time and the guide handles customs, so you arrive at viewpoints faster and with energy left for walks. The conventional bus option works if you're traveling on a tighter budget and don't mind a larger group or slightly longer drive times.
Puerto Madryn: Snorkeling with Wild Sea Lions & Punta LomaYou board a small boat in Puerto Madryn, snorkel with wild sea lions in Punta Loma's natural reserve, and navigate past a Spanish wreck while watching penguins and dolphins. Equipment and mate (shared Patagonian tea) are included. The sea lions aren't trained—they approach because they're curious—which is what makes the interaction feel real instead of staged. Confirm your start time the day before; weather decides whether the boat goes out.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see sea lions in their natural habitat without the feeling of a staged encounter—the animals decide whether to interact, which is what makes it different from most wildlife tours. The low difficulty and shallow water mean families with children from six up can join, and you don't need to swim beforehand.
El Calafate: Glaciers Cruise with Gourmet Lunch & BalconiesYou’ll sail from El Calafate across Lago Argentino to see Spegazzini, Upsala & Perito Moreno glaciers up close. Step ashore at Puesto Las Vacas for a short forest walk with your guide, then enjoy a gourmet lunch on board as you glide past ancient ice. There’s an option to visit Perito Moreno balconies too — bring your warmest jacket and let Patagonia surprise you.
Perito Moreno Glacier walk and boat tour from El CalafateThis full-day tour from El Calafate combines a guided walk through Los Glaciares National Park's 4-kilometer trail system with a one-hour boat ride on Lake Argentino, approaching the Perito Moreno Glacier's face. Your guide travels with you from hotel pickup through the park and onto the water, sharing the geology and ecology of this UNESCO World Heritage region. Lunch is your own choice—pack a picnic or eat at park restaurants during the two-hour walkway window.Is it for me?You walk the glacier's walkways at your own pace, then sail past its 80-meter ice walls—both views in one outing, with transport and expert interpretation included.
El Calafate: La Leona River Kayak & Fossil Trek Day TripYou’ll paddle down La Leona River from El Calafate with a local guide, feeling Patagonia’s wild air on your face before hiking among petrified trees and ancient fossils.

Lake Argentino & Walichu Caves: 4x4 Tour with Cave LunchYou’ll ride along Lake Argentino’s wild shoreline in a 4x4, climb Punta Bonita for panoramic views over El Calafate and the Andes, explore ancient Tehuelche cave art at Walichu Caves with a local guide, then share lunch or dinner inside a real cavern overlooking the water. That feeling stays with you.
Crab Route Ushuaia: 4x4 tour, waterfall trek & lunchYou’ll travel from Ushuaia into Tierra del Fuego by 4x4, sharing coffee and homemade snacks beside Laguna Victoria before heading downriver to Puerto Almanza for a fisherman’s lunch of fresh Fuegian crab overlooking the Beagle Channel. Walk forest trails to Cascada del Duende waterfall and end your day feeling both small and strangely connected.Is it for me?Pick this one if you want the crab and the landscape without splitting the day between a boat tour and a separate meal—the 4x4 route connects both in one loop, and the waterfall walk breaks up the driving.
Perito Moreno Glacier Tour in El Calafate: Drive, Walkways & BoatThis full-day tour from El Calafate includes an 80 km drive to Los Glaciares National Park, a bilingual guide, and access to multiple walkways and viewpoints facing Perito Moreno Glacier. The glacier's 60-meter front continuously sheds massive ice blocks into the water below. You can add a one-hour boat ride on Lake Argentino's Rico Branch, which sails within 150 meters of the glacier's south face — the only way to see the ice calving from water level. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included; the National Park entrance fee is separate.Is it for me?Choose the Walkways and Navigation option if you want to experience the glacier from both above and water level — the boat ride is the only way to see the ice calving from the lake itself, where the scale and sound are completely different from the viewpoints. The walkways-only option works if you prefer to stay on land and move between different angles to watch the glacier from a distance.
Peninsula Valdés Day Tour: Whales, Seals & Orcas in One DayYou spend the day crossing Península Valdés in an air-conditioned vehicle, stopping at interpretation centers, coastal viewpoints, and wildlife hotspots where whales, orcas, elephant seals and penguins gather. Whale-watching boat rides are optional and seasonal (June–December). The route adjusts for tides and weather, which is what makes the sightings possible. Hotel pickup is included, and the team stays reachable throughout.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in Puerto Madryn who want to see Patagonian wildlife — whales, orcas, seals, penguins — without arranging transport or timing the tides themselves. The full day out (around 10 hours) is what lets you cover multiple ecosystems and habitats in one trip, and the route shifts with weather and wildlife activity rather than following a fixed schedule.
Ushuaia: End of the World Train & Tierra del Fuego Day TripYou’ll ride Ushuaia’s famous End of the World Train through lenga forests with a local guide, walk along Lake Acigami’s wild shore, and reach Lapataia Bay—the true end of Route 3. Expect salty air, shifting weather, and stories that linger long after you leave.
Perito Moreno Glacier Minitrekking: Walk on Ice with CramponsYou get hotel pickup, a full day in Los Glaciares National Park, a twenty-minute boat crossing to the glacier's edge, crampons fitted by a professional guide, and roughly three hours walking on the ice itself — including about seventy minutes on the glacier proper. The guide explains the glaciology and the region's wildlife as you move. Transport back to your hotel is included. The whole day runs ten hours.Is it for me?This tour is built for travelers who want to stand on the glacier, not just view it from a platform — the boat crossing and the crampons are what make that possible, and they're what take the logistics off your hands.
Ushuaia: Vinciguerra Glacier Trek & Floe LagoonYou trek 14 kilometers through Patagonian forest and protected wetlands, climb for three hours to a turquoise floe lagoon, and stand in front of a retreating glacier that looks different every season. Equipment, transport, meals, and insurance are all included, so you show up ready to move.Is it for me?Book this if you're fit enough for a steady 3-hour climb and want to see a glacier that's actively changing — the physical demand is what makes a full day at the floe lagoon possible, and the seasonal shifts mean no two visits look the same.
Ushuaia Lakes 4WD Adventure & Lunch at Lake FagnanoYou’ll ride 4WD trucks from Ushuaia through lenga forests and along wild old roads to reach Lake Fagnano’s shore. Expect muddy tracks, local guides sharing Fuegian stories, and a woodfire barbecue lunch with wine in a lakeside shelter. There’s laughter, real food, and moments of stillness by the water you might remember long after.
El Calafate Boat Tour: Perito Moreno from the waterYou travel by coach along Lake Argentino's shore to Los Glaciares National Park, walk the multi-level viewing platforms facing Perito Moreno's 60-meter ice wall, and watch chunks calve into the water below. The optional boat cruise takes you within meters of the glacier's face, navigating between floating icebergs for a full hour. You return to El Calafate in the late afternoon with free time for lunch near the park.Is it for me?A good fit if you're based in El Calafate and want to see Perito Moreno without arranging your own transport or park logistics—the coach, guide, and timing are handled. The boat upgrade is worth it if you want to experience the glacier from the water; the walkways alone give you the scale and the calving, but the boat puts you inside the landscape itself.
Ushuaia 4x4 Off Road Tour: Lakes & LunchAn 8-hour 4x4 off-road tour from Ushuaia that takes you north through native forest to Garibaldi Pass, Escondido Lake, and Lake Fagnano, where you stop for lunch on the shore. The tour includes hotel pickup, a live guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese, and adventure insurance. Small groups ride in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado trucks, and the route is suitable for families with infants through grandparents.Is it for me?The 8-hour commitment means you spend most of a day on the road and at the lakes, which suits travelers who want a full immersion in the Patagonian backcountry but rules out anyone needing to fit multiple activities into one day. The truck ride itself is the point—if you want to drive off-road through native forest and stop at remote glacial lakes rather than see them from a distance, this is the way to do it.
Ushuaia Lakes District: 4x4 Off-Road Day Tour with Asado LunchYou’ll ride deep into Tierra del Fuego’s wild heart on a 4x4 day trip from Ushuaia to Lake Escondido and Fagnano. Expect muddy tracks, mountain views that sneak up on you, a smoky forest asado lunch with local wine, and plenty of stories from your guide along the way. This isn’t just sightseeing — you’ll feel Patagonia under your skin.
Punta Tombo Penguin Colony Tour: Walk Among ThousandsThis shore excursion from Puerto Madryn takes cruise passengers to Punta Tombo, home to the largest Magellanic penguin colony on the American continent, where you spend approximately 2 hours in the reserve observing thousands of penguins alongside guanacos, maras and native armadillos in their natural habitat. The tour includes a 2-hour drive each way, a stop at a dinosaur replica, and a panoramic city tour of Puerto Madryn on the return if time allows. A live guide in English or Spanish, hotel or port pickup, bottled water, sandwiches and WiFi are included; the full day runs about 7 hours and suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?Book this tour if your ship docks in Puerto Madryn and you want to use the morning or afternoon for a full inland excursion — the timing is built around cruise schedules, the guide knows exactly when you need to return, and the walk among the penguins is something you cannot do anywhere else in the region.
Tierra del Fuego National Park tour: Guided walks, small groupsA guided tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park departing from Ushuaia, traveling by small van to Lago Roca, Bahía Ensenada, and the End of the Panamerican Highway marker, with guided walks through forests and along lake shores, a stop at the visitor center, and snacks included. The tour lasts five hours and returns to port on time for ship departures.Is it for me?Small-group van travel suits anyone who wants to walk and photograph without the pace of a large bus tour, and the five-hour timing works for cruise passengers returning to port on schedule.
