Walk across Perito Moreno Glacier with crampons, sail beside its ice walls, and explore Patagonia with expert bilingual guides.

“The tour itself was fabulous - Perito Moreno was my dream! The guides during the hike are very knowledgeable and it was done very well! The tour operator was in touch with us separately earlier, could have reminded us that we need to take lunch. Same situation was for other people - they didn’t even know about it. Also be careful when reading the details here as the transportation is not included - we realized it only when tour operator sent a message on WhatsApp a day in advance. Then I was requesting them to add transportation, they checked that they have slots and they can add us, I said…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 439 reviews · 5 hours · from $180

Cruise the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia to sea lions, seabirds, Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, and penguins on Martillo Island.

“Fun and well-organised excursion to see sea lions, cormorants and penguins from up close. We were very lucky and even saw a humpback whale. The only negative/annoying part of this journey were two ladies of the organising agency who took pictures of the passengers. We wanted to enjoy the beautiful animals and they were shouting for people to make room in order for them to take there pics which could then be bought. Very annoying. Otherwise everything was great (even the coffee on board!).”

Ushuaia: Catamaran Sailing to Penguin Island

5.Ushuaia: Catamaran Sailing to Penguin Island

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 436 reviews · 5h 30m · from $92

Sail the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia to see sea lions, cormorants, Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, and Magellanic and Gentoo penguins.

“Definitely it's worth to visit the island. The only problem is that it takes quite a lot to navigate the channel, almost 6 hours of navigation to go and come back. Not sure how much it depends on the boat used or on the channel navigation challenges. It seems to be the cheaper option available, but still in my opinion it's a bit pricy.”

“Our day out at Iguazu Falls on the Argentina was such an AMAZING experience. I didn’t quite appreciate what I was going to see but it’s truly was an incredible day. Our private tour guide Marcos, was phenomenal. He sorted all the process of going through the borders (we stayed in Foz Do Iguaçu) and took us to the park. He arranged our boat ride and even rearranged it to ensure we beat the incoming bad weather. He took us to all parts of the park and he honestly made the experience that much better. I cannot thank Marcos enough! I would recommend this for sure, 10/10. It seems pricey…”

I can't believe Viator would promote something like this and not deliver. I'm trying to get a partial refund. I don't know if I can trust Viator after this.”
