Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers Boat Tour with Lunch

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure on the Balmaceda & Serrano Glaciers Navigation, a full-day experience blending nature, history, and Patagonian flavors.

The journey begins in Puerto Natales, where you’ll check in before boarding the catamaran. Cruise along the Señoret Channel, passing the Bories Cold-Storage Plant National Monument (1913), a striking example of post-Victorian industrial architecture.

Our first highlight is the stunning Balmaceda Glacier, located at the foot of Mount Balmaceda. Next, you’ll disembark at the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park for a scenic 1 km hike. You’ll walk along Témpanos Lagoon, through a native forest of coigües, ñirres, and firebush trees, until reaching the breathtaking Serrano Glacier.

​

​Those who prefer not to take the hike will have access to a nearby viewpoint located just a few meters from the landing area, where they can also enjoy panoramic views of the Serrano Glacier and Iceberg Lagoon.​

Back onboard, you’ll enjoy a whisky served with thousand-year-old glacial ice, while admiring panoramic glacier views. The day concludes with a visit to a local Patagonian estancia, where you’ll be welcomed with a traditional Magellanic BBQ, before returning to Puerto Natales.
