Description

Description

We’ll depart from Bahía Exploradores aboard Amakaik, a boat for up to 14 passengers, offering an intimate and comfortable journey. As we sail through the delta of the Exploradores River, you’ll enjoy the scenery while having breakfast on board.


The trip continues to the mighty San Rafael Glacier wall, where you’ll see floating icebergs and, with luck, witness an ice calving. You may also spot a leopard seal resting on the ice.


We’ll enjoy lunch with glacier views, followed by a toast with whisky or local liqueur over millennial ice, before returning to the dock to end this memorable adventure in the Chilean Patagonia.
