Important Information
- This trip is subject to weather conditions. In the event of adverse weather conditions and to ensure passenger safety, the trip may be suspended. If the boat needs to return due to weather conditions, a refund will be provided for the portion of the journey not completed.
It is recommended to bring hydration for the day of excursion, since there is no drinking water on board and due to the sediments it is not advisable to take water from glacial lagoons.
It is good to carry a waterproof jacket, since there is a tendency to leave the cabin during navigation and temporary showers are common.
If you have a bus combination to Punta Arenas after this excursion, be sure to buy a ticket around 8:00 p.m. as there are days when due to the number of passengers, the wind and the tides, the tour comes back later than usual to Puerto Natales.
