Kayaking in El Calafate
Activity Details
At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the listed meeting point, located next to the Los Glaciares National Park. We'll delve into this incredible environment, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and admire the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier.
When we approach the shores of the glacier, it'll be time to get ourselves kitted out correctly to make sure we don't get cold: thermal suits, dry suits, boots, and gloves. And we're ready!
The instructors will give you a short rowing theory class and go over some basic safety rules.
Then it'll be time to put the theory into practice - let's climb into the kayaks! You'll admire Perito Moreno from a totally different perspective. This unforgettable kayaking experience will last about an hour and a half.
Afterward, we'll enjoy a hot drink in a cabin. Once warmed up, you'll have an hour to walk around the glacier or enjoy your picnic which you've brought with you.
Finally, we'll bring this activity to an end after 4 hours together by making our way to the meeting point.
