What the Perito Moreno Boat Costs
Perito Moreno boat prices: the one-hour boats alone, the boat as an option on a day tour, the Blue Safari on GetYourGuide and Viator, the operators' own pesos prices and the park entrance.
The boat alone costs from US$50 a person for an hour at the Perito Moreno (GetYourGuide, checked November 2026), and the south-face hour, Hielo y Aventura S.A’s Nautical Safari, is from US$67 (checked November 2026). Neither includes the road from El Calafate. Bought as an option on a day tour, the same hour added US$44 to US$93 to the day on the dates we read, with the road and the walkways in the price. Whichever you buy, the park entrance comes on top: ARS 50,000 a person at the general rate.

GetYourGuide prices checked November 2026, with all taxes and fees included; Bross Travel’s two options on 3 December 2026 and 20 January 2027. Southern Spirit Lago Argentino’s pesos prices from its own Moreno Spirit page, read November 2026: the reduced rate is for Argentine retirees, residents of Santa Cruz province, holders of a disability certificate (CUD) and children aged 6 to 15.
The GetYourGuide prices are in US dollars and the companies’ own prices in Argentine pesos. We do not convert one into the other; compare them on the day you book.
The boat as an option on a day tour
Most day tours from El Calafate price the walkways day first and sell the boat as a dearer option. The from-price you see on the card is usually the day without the boat.
| Day tour | Without the boat | With the boat | The boat adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perito Moreno Glacier Sightseeing Tour with Boat Safari & Guide from El Calafate (SALUM TOUR & TRAVEL) | US$79 | US$165, northern wall | US$86 |
| El Calafate: Perito Moreno Glacier & Optional Boat Cruise (Patagonia Dreams) | US$80 | US$156 morning, US$161 afternoon (3 December); US$173 (20 January) | US$76 to US$93 |
| El Calafate: Perito Moreno Glacier + Optional Boat Cruise (Bross Travel) | US$78 | US$122 south face first, US$125 north face after | US$44 or US$47 |
| Guided Tour of the National Park + Perito Moreno Glacier + Boat Cruise (optional) (Info de Ushuaia) | US$51 (3 December), US$48 (20 January) | US$106.25 and US$100, northern wall | US$52 to US$55.25 |
GetYourGuide option prices for one adult on 3 December 2026 and 20 January 2027 (the same on both dates unless two are given), checked November 2026.
Two of those cards show a from-price that no option cost on our dates. Bross Travel’s card read US$59 with US$78 struck through, but the cheapest option on both dates was US$78. Info de Ushuaia's card read US$48, which was the January price; in December the same option was US$51.
Say Hueque Travel’s full day with an optional Boat Safari, from US$80, and Tangol’s day trip with an optional boat ride, from US$81, both sold through Viator (checked November 2026), price the same way: the from-price is the day without the boat.
The Blue Safari, on two platforms
The Blue Safari is not a one-hour boat: Hielo y Aventura S.A sails across the Rico arm, lands you for an easy 1.5 km walk along the shore to the glacier’s south side, then sails close to the south face, 3 hours from the port. Its price depends on the platform and on whether you add the road:
| Where | Without transport | With transport from El Calafate |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Safari: The Perito Moreno Glacier in your hands. (Hielo y Aventura S.A), GetYourGuide | US$117 | US$184 (about 9 hours, with two hours on the walkways) |
| Blue Safari: Perito Moreno Glacier with Hiking and Navigation (Tangol), Viator; Tangol also sells El Calafate: Blue Safari and Perito Moreno Glacier Tour on GetYourGuide, from US$126 (options not read) | US$135 on Viator, morning or afternoon | US$221 on Viator |
Hielo y Aventura S.A’s GetYourGuide options on 3 December 2026 and 20 January 2027, checked November 2026; Viator for one traveller on dates from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027, read 9 November 2026 (from 17 July 2027 Tangol’s options there read US$155 and US$260).
ParaViajantes Tours sells a Blue Safari with transfers on Viator from US$300 (checked November 2026), and its terms read “All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.”
The park entrance, on top of every price
The Administracion de Parques Nacionales charges ARS 50,000 a person at the general day rate for Los Glaciares, in force from 1 June 2026; children up to 6 enter free. None of the GetYourGuide boats above includes it. It is paid at the park gate by card or in pesos, or bought online, and tickets explains how the two tickets fit together.
Which price to pay
Nautical Safari: Sail and feel the energy of the Perito Moreno Glacier
