We chose the without transfer option since we had already rented a car in El Calafate. The jetty is a nice drive from El Calafate. You have to pay the all cash park entrance fee of ARS 12000 per person at a park station (as of November 2023) a few km before the jetty The check in process at the jetty is very smooth. They tell you which pier to go to and then you board a nice boat which takes you ashore to the left hand side of the glacier. From there, guides greet you and take you to the camp where they put some crampons on your shoes and give you a helmet. You can leave your bags here if you like. The time spent on the glacier is magical and the guides are very knowledgeable. You have to be reasonably fit and not afraid to walk on an unfamiliar surface. Once you are off the ice, they take you on a walk through the neighbouring woods and you can relax for coffee and snacks/lunch (you bring the snacks) before the boat takes you back. You are then free to go to the pasarelas on your own if you have your own car. I will say this is almost a once in a lifetime sort of an experience - do it if you are able.

Great activity, very good and funny guide Camilla. All well organised, from pick up to drop off at hotel. Hike on ice is absolutely an amazing experience.

Overall a great day. Matthias and Mooty(sp?) were great ice trekking guides - careful, kind and fun.
We spent more time on the glaciar than I expected, enjoyed the celebrated whisky on glacial ice and headed home.
The boardwalks are great for viewing this spectacular glaciar, and the boat ride got us closer still.

Totally recommend the tour — but here is a tip: Hielo y Aventura run the ice trekking. You will see this tour offered by many different tour companies. From what I can make out — what the other companies do is provide transportation to the park and back, and get you on the boat.

Buy the tour with transportation if you don’t want to bother with a taxi, Uber, or rent a car. And if you want to see every street and hotel in El Calafate (more than once) on the milk run pick up — for an hour or more. This happens both on the way to the park and back.

If you just want to get out to the park, see the glaciar early, have lots of time on the boardwalks and do the ice trekking, save yourself a few hours and find your own transportation.

This was an excellent experience walking on the glacier. Our guide Luis was very knowledgeable, informative, and gave good instructions. It is a very scenic setting. The morning was spent walking on the several balconies across from the glacier to get many picturesque views and enjoy a picnic lunch. In the afternoon we took a boat across the lake to gear up with crampons and safety helmets to walk on top of the glacier. Highly recommend and a good value.

Argentina is a Must See and Experience. Unlike any other South American Country I have visited. Unique, wonderfully diverse. If you give yourself the opportunity and the time, the journey through this amazing country is well worth exploring.

I did this hike with my adult kids and it was beyond amazing. To walk on a glacier that’s over a thousand years and to see how beautiful it was , I will never forget it. It’s a must do while in el calafate . Truly an amazing experience and our guide for that day , sept 15th was the best . He knew everyone about the glaciers and was extremely informative.

Excellent little trek, Patagonia Dreams are responsible for getting you on the mini trek, picking you up and taking you back, the trek itself is done by the national park guides. The morning we went was awful, it had snowed heavily and the roads were icy. Despite a few coach mishaps, we made it on time for the trek and Carla, our Patagonia Dreams guide, was very helpful, friendly and patient, in keeping us informed on the situation.
