Your adventure begins in Puerto Río Tranquilo, a charming Patagonian town surrounded by mountains and lakes. From here, we’ll travel by minivan for approximately 90 minutes along the stunning Exploradores Valley, on the way to Bahía Exploradores, the starting point of our navigation.

Upon arrival, the crew will welcome you aboard and provide a safety and induction briefing before departure. Get ready to set sail through fjords, channels, and ice-filled waters toward one of Patagonia’s most breathtaking destinations — the San Rafael Lagoon.

After around 3 hours of navigation, we’ll reach the San Rafael Lagoon National Park, home to the majestic San Rafael Glacier, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. If weather and tide conditions permit, we’ll disembark for a short 30-minute walk along a trail to visit the historic ruins of Hotel Ofqui, a reminder of Patagonia’s early exploration days. Back on board, we’ll approach the glacier’s massive ice wall to witness its awe-inspiring size and listen to the thunderous sound of ice breaking and falling into the lagoon. You’ll have time to capture incredible photos of the blue icebergs, and if you’re lucky, spot leopard seals resting on the floating ice. While admiring this breathtaking view, enjoy a homemade Patagonian lunch served on board, followed by a toast with whisky or local liqueur over ancient glacial ice, and finish with coffee and artisanal chocolates — the perfect ending to a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Wir kehren nach Bahia Exploradores zurück, wo die Gruppe mit dem Minivan zurück nach Puerto Rio Tranquilo fährt. Die Fahrt dauert 90 Minuten.

In the afternoon, we’ll begin our return journey across the lagoon, surrounded by the silence and grandeur of Patagonia’s natural landscape. Upon arrival at Bahía Exploradores, our team will assist you with transportation back to Puerto Río Tranquilo.
