Seven glaciers and fjords in a single day on the water

A full-day sailing tour through the Firth of Agostini in Patagonia that navigates fjords and mountains to approach seven glaciers, including the Aguila and Condor glaciers where you watch icefalls.

The experience

The boat leaves early and spends 13 hours moving through the fjords and canals of southern Patagonia, approaching each glacier as the day unfolds. You stay on deck to watch the landscapes change: mountains rising from the water, ice faces appearing ahead, the scale of the glaciers becoming clear as the boat draws closer. The guide speaks Spanish and English and points out the details: how the Aguila Glacier and the Condor Glacier move and calve, what the icefalls mean, which peaks surround them. Dolphins and sea lions surface in the water. The biodiversity of Alberto de Agostini National Park reveals itself as you sail.

Breakfast and coffee come early, lunch arrives midday, and in the afternoon (surrounded by the glaciers and the mountains). You drink whisky made from ice that fell as snow centuries ago. The boat's route lets you see all seven glaciers and their surroundings from the water, a vantage that ground-based access cannot match. Photography happens constantly. The light and the angles shift as the boat moves.
