TREATED LIKE VIPS - Our agency had booked the sailing with VIP lounge accommodation so the treatment was perfect. At the refuge we ate well with good service. Of course you can see the Upsala glacier as you pass by but you can enjoy the Spegazzini very well and skirting the Chilean Andes was very beautiful

It's not worth it - I do not recommend it. The Upsala glacier can barely be seen from afar. The spegazzini is visible and impressive but it is too much and uncomfortable to travel to get there. The boat is full of people, they fill it to the brim, the seats are 4 so you are cramped, uncomfortable seats. If you go out to the bow, it is very difficult to take a photo because the photographers are selling their service, the food in the shelter is expensive and the service is terrible. The view of the glaciers is beautiful, but the experience is bad. I would not return nor do I recommend it, one of the most expensive tours and with terrible service. In addition, 1 engine broke, we were stranded for 1 hour in the middle of nowhere and we arrived at the shelter 1.30 hours later, without an apology, without a glass of water for attention. Although they continued selling the photography service insistently.

Do not waste your money - Tourist trap. Horrible. You go in a boat full of people, sitting in chairs like in a bus. Crouded. If you sit in the middle, you can barely see anything (besides, they force you to go on the same seat on the way back). It was the worst experience i had in patagonia. I would rather go twice to Perito moreno’s platform than do this boat ever again.
