The glacier was amazing - truly a sight to behold. The boat had plenty of space along with a bar, and the seats was comfortable. However, the staff left something to be desired… First of all, the guide only translated in english the first couple of times, then he just forgot, I guess? Secondly, my girlfriend and I made an effort to be first in line, so we could get a window seat. However, due to the boat being fully booked that was not possible, so the staff told us to sit in the middle of the boat - which is fair enough! However, when another couple, who was also seated in the middle, tried to sneak to a window seat and got caught, they were allowed to stay?! I guess the rules don’t apply to everybody… Left us with a sour taste in our mouthes - which luckily disappeared when we arrived at the glacier. All in all, an okay trip, but the staff gave us a rocky start…I guess tripadvisor last my last review… Great way to get up-close-and-personal to a glacier! The boat (Grey III) was well appointed and they served drinks with glacier ice (water for free) as well as coffee, tea and alcohol. Best if you bring a few snacks and maybe a bottle of water, too. ...
I guess tripadvisor last my last review… Great way to get up-close-and-personal to a glacier! The boat (Grey III) was well appointed and they served drinks with glacier ice (water for free) as well as coffee, tea and alcohol. Best if you bring a few snacks and maybe a bottle of water, too. The van took us right there, but the driver spoke no English and didn't even try to communicate with us despite the fact we did know some Spanish. This was only an issue, since you can either walk to the boat (about 30 minutes) or take a water taxi – and my wife had a knee problem so we wished this was explained prior to the walk. Lastly, we were told that the van would pick us up at our hotel at 7am. It arrived early, which would have been great, except we got a nasty note about being late and they were about to leave without us despite the fact we got to the van at 6:58am.Relación precio calidad para nada lo vale, lo que ofrecen no se cumplio, el café al término de la navegación no lo dieron y a la llegada tampoco hubo un cóctel de bienvenida.
