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

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.…”

Puerto Natales: Base of the Towers Trekking Experience

5.Base of the Towers Trekking Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 191 reviews · 14 hours · from $95

Leave Puerto Natales before sunrise for a guided trek to the Base of the Towers in Torres del Paine. Guides such as Sebastian, Daniel, Pablo, and Ramiro lead you through the Asencio Valley, forest, and steep moraine trail to the viewpoint at 890 meters. Expect roughly 20 to 23 kilometers of hard walking, changing weather, and a very late return.

“Really enjoyed this hike - we were lucky and had great conditions, and also our guide Sebastian was very nice and cheerful! The other guide stayed behind with a couple of people that didn't complete the main hike. We had to wait for them to finish before heading back (quite late as they were quite slower than the rest of the group), so I wouldn't recommend to do a group hike if you are on a tight schedule for the evening - but otherwise it was a great experience!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 95 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $256

Spend 10 to 11 hours sailing the Ultima Esperanza Fjord from Puerto Natales to Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers. Expect wildlife, waterfalls, a 40-minute forest walk, and a traditional ranch lunch with lamb, chicken, or a vegetarian option. The boat holds up to 150 people, so outdoor viewing spots can be limited.

“The day tour was really great! Beautiful sights glaciers wild animals waterfalls staff on board really nice and helpful good lunch with barbecue in a remote place! However I was shocked to realize that Viator cashed TWICE the price for the tour. A commission on the price is understandable but a 50% is outrageous . I strongly advise people to book their tours on site with locals there are lots of options. I will NEVER use Viator again it was not commercial and it was abusive.”

Their response was that the price match was only good if you communicated before the trip. Our party of 3 and the others on top deck didn't get instructions - they were all directed to those downstairs. Party of 2 from Australia made same observation. BEAUTIFUL scenery though!!!!”
