What to expect

The guide will provide all the necessary equipment and information to ensure you have an unforgettable kayaking experience!

The Grey Glacier Kayak tour begins at Grey Base Camp, located in the Playa Grey sector within Torres del Paine National Park.

Your kayaking adventure kicks off with a guided navigation across the pristine waters of Grey Lake. The lead guide will set the route, and the group will follow through a scenic bay filled with floating icebergs—massive blocks of ice that have calved from the glacier.

We’ll paddle toward the east face of Grey Glacier, keeping a safe distance from its towering ice walls. A support guide accompanies the group throughout the journey, ensuring everyone stays together, adjusts to the group's pace, and even helps capture memorable photos along the way.

On the way back, we’ll pass a breathtaking melting waterfall cascading from a nearby glacier—one last visual gem before wrapping up the tour. We then return to the beach in front of Grey Base Camp. Once there, you’ll return your equipment and enjoy some well-deserved snacks and hot drinks.
