Grey Glacier Cruise with Pickup from Puerto Natales

our guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Puerto Natales at the scheduled time. Together with the rest of the group, you’ll travel by vehicle to Hotel Lago Grey, located inside Torres del Paine National Park. The drive takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. Upon arrival, the group will check in for the boat tour and enjoy around 20 minutes of free time before boarding.

Accompanied by your guide, you’ll take a short transfer before beginning a 30- to 45-minute walk along Grey Beach to reach the GREY III boat. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Grey Lake and the surrounding landscape. Please note that departure times are subject to availability. During the high season, from October to April, you may be able to skip the walk and take a hotel-operated boat directly to the GREY III. This option depends on weather conditions and can only be confirmed at check-in. During the low season, from May to September, this boat service is not available.

You’ll spend approximately three hours cruising across Grey Lake aboard the GREY III, accompanied by a professional guide who will share fascinating insights about the landscape and everything you see along the way. The glacier wall is only one of the highlights. As you approach it, you’ll pass impressive icebergs drifting across the lake, each with its own unique shape and striking shades of blue. To make the experience even more enjoyable, the crew will serve you a complimentary pisco sour or another beverage of your choice on board. At the end of the boat tour, you’ll return to the dock and follow the same scenic path back along Grey Beach to Hotel Lago Grey. Once the group has gathered, you’ll board the shuttle for the return journey to Puerto Natales.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please keep in mind that sailing on Grey Lake is highly dependent on weather conditions. For your safety, the boat tour may be canceled at any time—even just a few minutes before departure—if conditions are deemed unsafe by the crew. The full experience typically lasts between 6 to 7 hours, including round-trip transfers, check-in, the walk along Grey Beach, the 3-hour boat tour, and free time at Lago Grey Hotel. Because the weather in Patagonia can be unpredictable, we recommend keeping your schedule flexible on the day of the tour. If the boat trip is canceled due to weather, a great alternative is the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers Boat Tour, which is usually less affected by wind and remains a spectacular way to experience the region’s natural beauty.
