During the tour, you will admire the stunning nature of Chilean Patagonia, passing by traditional estancias and wonderful waterfalls. You can also see a colony of imperial cormorants and sea lions. This journey includes a hike from the beginning of the designated trail to the viewpoint in front of the Serrano Glacier. Once back on the boat, you will toast with a whisky with ancient glacier ice, a unique experience to conclude this journey through one of the most amazing destinations in the southern hemisphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In what period of the year the navigation is made?

    The navigation takes place between the months of October and April.

  • What type of boat is used for the navigation?

    The navigation takes place on a catamaran with a capacity for 168 passengers, featuring three restrooms and two panoramic decks where you can step outside to enjoy the scenery and take photos.

  • What’s the difference between the Classic and Express Balmaceda & Serrano Glacier Boat Tour?

    Both sailings visit the same glaciers, Balmaceda and Serrano, with the same stop times. The difference is that the Express option does not include lunch at the estancia (ranch), so the activity is shorter (half-day tour) compared to the Classic version (full-day tour).

Estoy totalmente agradecido con la organización de Nómades, ya que hicieron una excepción a pesar de que era una persona sola para hacer el tour en kayak y finalmente se realizó satisfactoriamente.
