Excellent tour and cheaper than from the cruise - We enjoyed our tour of the Mendenhall glacier and whale watching on the small boat. The driver dropped us at Mendenhall glacier and then we were on our own for an hour. It was not guided. He was a bit abrupt. However the glacier itself was amazing. Then we went for whale watching on the small boat. The youn girl was very friendly and gave lots of information. Unfortunately we didn’t see too many whales but we did get to see a whale breaching which was fantastic. It was a great trip.

Must do-bucket list trip and tour - Multi-generational group and everyone loved this tour. Knowledgeable and helpful staff and amazing scenery. Tour made adjustments-which were needed to see other animals. Magical for the grandkids and adults. Thank you!

Great Excursion - We loved this excursion and had plenty of time to visit the glacier. We stayed on schedule which was really nice. We got to see several whales. My only complaint would be that we had no idea where to meet for the excursion until the morning of. I could not locate it on the Viator website and attempted to contact the operator. I got no response but then the next morning everything was updated on the website. The tour stated 4 1/2 hours, but we actually got back within four hours. We were thankful because it gave us a little time in town, and we were able to get back to the ship on time with no stress.

Tourism for foreigners, do not contemplate discounts to natives of the country. - The main visits are to the Perito Moreno Glacier and catamaran tour of Lake Argentino sighting several other glaciers from very close. Both highly recommended. The visit to Chaltén Hill (Fitz Roy) is a good option but the drawback is to reach on foot and find the summit completely covered in clouds... This happens 80% of the days of the year.
