The Captain's Club was worth every penny. The Patagonia Infinity staff spoiled us the entire day. Delightful.

Mélanie – France

Expensive but worth it. The glaciars are impressive, we get many comments both in English and Spanish, and get pretty close to Spegazzini glaciar (300m). Great experience!

Full description

Start the tour with a pickup from your hotel in El Calafate around 7:00 AM to undertake the 47km route to the Punta Bandera Port where your boat departs at 9:00 AM. 
The first part of the trip takes place in the north arm of the Argentino Lake before crossing into the Boca del Diablo, the narrowest part of the lake.
Then, go to the Upsala and Spegazzini channels where you can view the respective glaciers. The Upsala Glacier is the largest on Argentino Lake and can be seen from about 20km away. The Spegazzini Glacier is the highest and you can also see the Dry, Heim Sur, and Peineta glaciers.
After entering the Spegazzini Channel, a 300-meter path will be crossed without difficulty through the forest along the coast of the lake making stops at viewpoints overlooking the entire Bay of Glaciers. 
Arrive at the Spegazzini Refuge where you can enjoy an optional 3-course lunch with drinks, visit the shop, and contemplate the landscape from the terrace. 
For those who enjoy walking, the mountain path offers a 700m trek of medium difficulty through a wooded path with natural viewpoints of the Spegazzini Glacier ending at the landing point. Return to the boat and head back to El Calafate where you’ll be dropped off back at your hotel.

Includes

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Boat trip to Upsala and Spegazzini channels

Amazing experience! Perfect day trip to do in between el Chalten and Perito Moreno excursions. I highly recommend the “captain’s club”. With the captain’s club you will have a more exclusive and confortable experience with great views, lunch included and a selection of snacks and drinks.
