  • Spend about two hours cruising along the Última Esperanza Fjord, passing by highlights like the historic Bories Cold-Storage Plant, traditional Patagonian ranches, scenic waterfalls, and glaciers. Along the way, you’ll also spot a colony of imperial cormorants and a rocky outcrop where sea lions gather. The captain makes stops at the best viewing points, giving you time to take in the scenery from your seat inside or out on one of the boat’s two decks, while your guide shares stories and insights about the region. (pass by)
  • Bernardo O'Higgins National Park
    Upon arrival at Puerto Toro, you’ll step off the boat for a one-hour excursion inside the stunning Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. This protected area is home to pristine landscapes, native flora, and breathtaking glacier views.
  • Serrano Glacier
    Still within the national park, you’ll follow a gentle 20-minute trail with wooden walkways over uneven ground, making it accessible for all travelers. The path leads to the Serrano Glacier viewpoint, where you’ll have free time to admire the scenery and take photos before heading back along the same trail and boarding the boat again for the return journey.
  • On the return cruise, the boat sails close to the impressive Balmaceda Glacier. While enjoying the view, you’ll be treated to a glass of whisky served over glacier ice—a true Patagonian tradition. The journey ends back at Arturo Prat Pier around 1:00 PM, just in time to enjoy lunch at one of the many local restaurants in Puerto Natales. (pass by)
