The Grey Glacier Boat Tour is the only boat excursion within Torres del Paine that takes you across the stunning waters of Lake Grey aboard the GREY III, offering front-row views of one of Patagonia’s most breathtaking natural wonders: the Grey Glacier.

Your journey begins with convenient pickup from your hotel in Puerto Natales. After arriving in the national park, you’ll enjoy a scenic 45-minute walk along the shores of Lake Grey, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Then, it’s time to board the boat and set off toward the glacier.

As you cruise across the lake, you’ll pass icebergs that have calved from the glacier itself—each one uniquely shaped and glowing with shades of blue. The boat will take you right up close to the towering glacier wall, giving you the perfect vantage point to witness the power and beauty of this iconic Patagonian giant.

And yes—there’s even a complimentary pisco sour served on board, so you can raise a glass with the glacier as your backdrop.

    Accompanied by your guide, you'll take a short transfer and then begin a 30- to 45-minute walk along Grey Beach until you reach the GREY III boat. Please note that the departure times depend on availability. During the high season (October to April), you may be able to skip the walk and take a boat provided by the hotel to reach the boat. This option is subject to weather conditions and can only be confirmed at check-in. In the low season (May to September), the boat service is not available.

    And now, it's time to set sail! You'll spend around three hours cruising Grey Lake aboard the GREY III, accompanied by a professional guide who will share insights about everything you see along the way. The glacier wall is just one of the highlights—on your way there, you’ll pass stunning icebergs drifting across the lake, each with unique shapes and striking shades of blue. To make the experience even more enjoyable, the crew will serve a complimentary pisco sour or another drink of your choice while on board. Once the boat tour ends, you’ll return to the dock and take a short walk along Grey Beach back to Lago Grey Hotel. There, you’ll have some free time to grab lunch at the hotel restaurant or simply soak in the incredible scenery before heading back to Puerto Natales by shuttle.

    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.
