Spend about two hours cruising along the Última Esperanza Fjord, passing by highlights like the historic Bories Cold-Storage Plant, traditional Patagonian ranches, scenic waterfalls, and glaciers. Along the way, you’ll also spot a colony of imperial cormorants and a rocky outcrop where sea lions gather. The captain makes stops at the best viewing points, giving you time to take in the scenery from your seat inside or out on one of the boat’s two decks, while your guide shares stories and insights about the region.

Still within the national park, you’ll follow a gentle 20-minute trail with wooden walkways over uneven ground, making it accessible for all travelers. The path leads to the Serrano Glacier viewpoint, where you’ll have free time to admire the scenery and take photos before heading back along the same trail and boarding the boat again for the return journey.
