2 3-Hour Experiences in Chile Worth Booking

1.3-Hour Scenic Boat Tour to Grey Glacier

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 283 reviews · 4 hours · from $120Our pick

From Hotel Lago Grey, walk about 3 kilometers across Grey Beach to the boat, then cruise Grey Lake for three hours toward the towering Grey Glacier. English and Spanish guides explain the scenery, while the crew positions the boat for clear views of blue ice, icebergs, and mountain peaks. A pisco sour is included.

“Stunning views of glaciers and the beautiful mountains. The boat goes very close to the glaciers on the grey lake. Unexpected expenses: The meeting point for the tour was inside torres del paine park & I had to arrange transportation via the hotel I stayed the day before. Don’t forget to bring your own food for lunch. Though the trip says its only for 3 hours, there’s almost 2 hour commute to Torres del Paine from my hotel & then another 30 minutes walk from shuttle drop off to the boat location within the park. I took the shared shuttle since it was specific for the grey glacier boat tour.…”
