Went on the Rios de Hielo boat excursion and it was a highlight of my trip to El Calafate. The views of the glaciers from the boat were breathtaking, and we even saw chunks of ice calving from the glaciers. The crew was friendly and ensured we had a safe and memorable experience.

Booking our excursion through Happytripz was the best decision we made in El Calafate. The Upsala Glacier Kayak experience was out of this world. Paddling through the icy waters with colossal glaciers surrounding us was an unforgettable adventure.
