Icy Blue Giants: Navigate the Largest Patagonian Glaciers and take the most Awe-inspiring Glacier Photos (in boat’s VIP section)

• Navigating among the largest Patagonian Glaciers

Hop aboard as we embark on a journey to admire the second-largest glacier in South America, the Upsala, as well as the Spegazzini Glacier (the tallest in the Glaciers National Park and quite impressive to see), along with several Patagonian ice giants and beautiful iceberg formations that are only accessible by boat.

The glaciers’ scale is imposing, and their colors remarkable, ranging from pure white to deep shades of blue. We’ll settle into our seats inside the exclusive VIP cabin on the upper deck, where we’ll enjoy superior panoramic views along with enhanced comfort and service.

On our way to the Upsala and Spegazzini Glaciers, we’ll have excellent photo opportunities as we see icebergs of incredible and diverse shapes and sizes.

Sometimes huge portions of ice break loose from the Upsala Glacier, creating “floating isles” with the length of up to a about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers)!

We’ll also see the Spegazzini Glacier, that with its highest point standing at 442 feet (135 meters), is the tallest glacier at Glaciers National Park.

In this tour experience, we’ll also disembark at Glaciers Bay for about an hour and a half to visit a lakeside retreat. There, you’ll have time to explore the walkways leading to viewpoints with unique perspectives of the Spegazzini Glacier and enjoy a lunch of traditional local cuisine, accompanied by non-alcoholic beverages and wine.

Our tour kicks off in the morning with a transfer from your hotel, and a 1 hour ride to Bandera Port. We’ll settle into our VIP cabin and begin our navigation of the northern arm of Lake Argentino, where we’ll enjoy marvelous views of the snow-capped mountains as they surround and ensconce the lake.

As we approach Upsala Channel, we’ll start seeing icebergs of different shapes and sizes, which will be the prelude to the first view of the magnificent Upsala Glacier. As we draw closer, we’ll fully appreciate the glacier’s immensity and cold, crystalline beauty.

We’ll then navigate to Spegazzini Channel, where we’ll get a view of the Spegazzini Glacier (the tallest glacier at Glaciers National Park), which will captivate us with its dramatic landscape of towering walls as well as the various shapes and colors of its icebergs We’ll also get to see the Seco Glacier, which in English means “Dry Glacier”. You will notice the exposed rock and dense forests where ice once covered the land, as evidence of the Seco Glacier’s retreat throughout the decades. We’ll then disembark at Glaciers Bay for an hour and a half to have lunch and enjoy a short walk that will take us to admire spectacular views of the Spegazzini glacier.

The tour ends as we navigate back to Puerto Bandera, and transfer back to the hotel, having learned and witnessed first-hand just how mighty nature can be; and, at the same time, how susceptible it is to the world’s changing climate.

If you are looking for great photo opportunities of glaciers and icebergs, this is definitely the best glaciers navigation tour for you!

Important: when very large icebergs are present on the navigation route, for safety reasons the close-up access to the Upsala Glacier is not possible, so we will be able to enjoy a more distant but also beautiful view.
