We’ll depart from Bahía Exploradores aboard La Certeza, a boat for up to 14 passengers, offering an intimate and comfortable journey. As we sail through the delta of the Exploradores River, you’ll enjoy the scenery while having breakfast on board.
After about 2 hours, we’ll enter the Laguna San Rafael National Park, where, weather permitting, we’ll disembark for a 30-minute walk to the ruins of the historic Hotel Ofqui.
The trip continues to the mighty San Rafael Glacier wall, where you’ll see floating icebergs and, with luck, witness an ice calving. You may also spot a leopard seal resting on the ice.
