Puerto Natales
At the scheduled time, we’ll meet at the meeting point in downtown Puerto Natales for a tour briefing. Afterward, the shuttle bus will take you to Puerto Bories, about 5 km away. You can go directly to Puerto Bories if that’s more convenient for you. Once there, you’ll board the boat to begin your great adventure!

Bernardo O'Higgins National Park
Welcome aboard!!! We’re setting sail for the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers via the Ultima Esperanza Fjord. Our first stop, part of the journey, will allow us to observe the fabulous Patagonian landscape as the captain approaches the cormorant colony and the sea lion cove (where you can watch the sea lions resting), the condor cliff, and the mighty waterfalls. We continue the journey toward Bernardo O'Higgins National Park and disembark at Puerto Toro. Then, we hike down a 40-minute trail through a lush forest of coihue and southern beech trees. At the end of the trail, we reach the main viewpoint facing the great Serrano Glacier and will enjoy the most spectacular views of this captivating glacier.

We’ll have some free time to enjoy the views of the glacier and stroll along some of the nearby trails on our way back to the ship.
Once we’re back on board, the crew will welcome us with a glass of whiskey chilled with ancient glacier ice, a freshly brewed coffee, or a cup of hot tea.
