Transfer from Puerto Natales to Torres del Paine National Park
Registration at Hotel Grey
Once we arrive at Hotel Grey inside of Torres Del Paine National Park we will register for the Grey Glacier Boat Tour.
Transfer to the starting point
After registration our driver will take us to the parking lot.
Walk to Pier
From the parking lot, we will walk through the nearby forest, cross the hanging bridge over the Grey River, and stroll along the sandy spit of Lake Grey Beach to the pier. You'll observe typical Patagonian tundra flora, Grey Lake's shoreline views, and floating icebergs. The lake's color ranges from milky to greenish-blue depending on weather and light.
Grey Glacier Boat Tour
After boarding, we will begin our unforgettable journey to Grey Glacier.
Our boat will follow along the northeastern shore, Patagonian steppe, and distant mountain ranges. After over-stop at the refuge, it gets closer to the Grey Glacier. The spectators will be in front of the massive ice wall that plunges dramatically into the lake, and you will observe an awe-inspiring panorama in incredible tones of blue and white.
The route is close enough to the glacier to give you a real sense of its size and the scale of the ice wall, still saving a safe distance from the chunks of ice that could break off. The guide onboard explains the glacier's geology, the region's history, and the wildlife that inhabits the area. Also, share interesting facts about the glacier's formation and environmental significance.
The boat spends about one hour near the ice wall. For photographers, the boat cover offers plenty of opportunities to capture incredible shots.
During the Glacier Boat Tour, you will be able to enjoy a delicious lunch box.
Before returning, the crew will offer you a whisky with millennial ice.
After this emotional spectacle, the bote returns to the pier.
Walk back to the parking lot
Ferrier Hill Hike
This challenging but beautiful hike starts from the area near Hotel Grey, following a path along the lake's western shore. Ferrier Hill is a relatively short but steep climb, taking about two hours to ascend and 1.5 hours to descend, depending on fitness and weather conditions.
The trail requires effort, as it is steep and has some rocky, slippery sections. The reward is a panoramic view from the lookout, including Grey Glacier, Grey Lake, Pehoe Lake, and the Paine mountain range. This short, intense trek takes around four hours (round-trip), and suits experienced hikers in good physical condition.
