Tour Description

The Blue Safari tour starts in El Calafate, where a comfortable bus will transport us to Los Glaciares National Park.

Upon arrival at Puerto Bajo de las Sombras, located just 7 km from the walkways, we will join our expert guide and board a boat to cross Lake Rico. After a scenic 20-minute navigation, we will disembark on the opposite shore. Our journey continues with a gentle walk over natural terrain, including sand, stones, some slopes, and steps, all while admiring the breathtaking view of the glacier’s southern wall—perfect for witnessing dramatic icefalls—until we finally reach the ice and touch the Perito Moreno Glacier itself!

We will pause here to fully appreciate the glacier’s stunning shapes and colors. After capturing countless photos, we will return to the starting point. During the boat trip back, you will have the chance to marvel at the imposing face of the glacier and observe every detail of its marble-like icy wall.

Back at the port, we will board the bus to the walkways, where you will have 2 hours to admire the incredible panoramic views and enjoy some free time for lunch (not included).

Our adventure concludes as we return to El Calafate, traveling across the Patagonian steppe, enriched by the unforgettable natural beauty and energy of this remarkable glacier.

Reviews

Fuimos con mi hija adolescente y quedamos encantadas con el Safari Azul. La combi pasó a horario exacto por nuestro alojamiento y la guía explicó cada parada sin apurarnos. El recorrido estuvo muy bien organizado, con un pequeño desayuno incluido y tiempo suficiente para sacar fotos. Por lo que cuesta, la relación precio-calidad es excelente.

Un Safari Azul bien coordinado, con paisajes increíbles y precio justo

Booked Blue Safari as the honeymoon highlight, and it delivered. The minibus was surprisingly comfy, with plenty of legroom and a smooth ride over the gravel. Our guide, Martina, knew the park inside out—she even pointed out the old lenga tree where condors often circle. She kept the pace relaxed, explained the glacier’s blue crevasses clearly, and somehow made every stop fun. A brilliant summer day.

A Comfy Ride Into Brilliant Blue

Fizemos o Safári Azul na baixa temporada e foi uma das melhores escolhas da viagem em família. O transporte 4x4 era confortável de verdade, com bancos espaçosos, ar quente e paradas bem organizadas; ninguém chegou desmontado depois das estradinhas. O passeio misturou trilhas, mirantes, observação de guanacos e uma navegação tranquila pelo Lago Argentino. O almoço incluído, servido numa caixinha caprichada, até tinha alfajor — ponto importantíssimo, claro. Nossa guia contou histórias da região sem transformar tudo numa aula interminável. Voltamos cansadas, felizes e com fotos demais para caber no celular.

Estradinhas, guanacos, lago e alfajor: um dia inteiro muito confortável em El Calafate

Schon bei der Buchung wurde uns auf Deutsch schnell und geduldig geantwortet; die Mitarbeiterin erklärte sogar den Unterschied zwischen den Abfahrtszeiten und half uns, den passenden Termin für unsere Flitterwochen zu finden. Die Blaue Safari war bestens organisiert: kleiner Bus, freundlicher Guide und ein überraschend gutes Mittagessen. Für den Preis bekamen wir viel Zeit am Gletscher und keine versteckten Zusatzkosten – für uns ein faires Gesamtpaket.

Blaue Safari: persönliche Buchungshilfe, viel Gletscherzeit und wirklich fairer Preis

On a voulu éviter le gros tour de bus, et pari gagné : nous étions seulement huit sur le Safari Bleu. L’ambiance était détendue, presque familiale, avec des blagues entre deux photos. Notre guide, Lucía, connaissait chaque recoin du lac et nous a même montré une ancienne balise près de Punta Bandera. Super moment pour notre anniversaire !
