This trip was great, went with the premium upgrade and it was worth every penny! All of the staff were super friendly and helpful, the trip was well-organized, and the boat spent plenty of time at each glacier, giving us the opportunity see calving events and just enjoy all of the views. The histories of the area were also very well-done. Highly recommend!

The views of the lake shores and the glaciers are magnificent. The fact that we couldn’t get closer to the Upsula was a bit disappointing. The explanations given during the cruise were educational. To conclude, the experience was extremely enjoyable and I would recommend others to do the cruise.

Worth every penny. Seeing the glaciers as close as possible (and from a different perspective) was incredible. The tour guides they have are very knowledgeable and was very pleasantly surprised of the quality of everything - the food, the guides, quality of boat, etc. Do it!

Had a wonderful tour of the glaciers on Marpatag Cruises. This company uses smaller boats than rival companies so everything doesn’t feel overcrowded. I decided to upgrade to the premium service and I’m very glad I did. You get your own private observation deck and receive copious amounts of fine food and wine. You even get a private visit to the captain’s quarters to view one of the glaciers. In premium service, they have two different tables, one for Spanish speakers and one for English speakers, to ensure people at the same table can converse with one another. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. This is the best cruising option for seeing the glaciers. Yes, it’s expensive, particularly for the premium option, but it’s worth it.

Comfortable transfer and boat cruise, with information given in English as well. The glaciers and ice that broke off from them were a magnificent view.

This is a TRUE WOW! We had the best time. Maurizio was an incredblly knowlegeable and warm & hospitable tour guide. I still cannot believe my eyes, the beauty & wonder we say crusing Argentino Lago and beholding these incredible Glaciers, was absolutely other worldly. I am still saying I cannot believe it. The beauty was...outstanding.
