This experience invites you to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the heart of Chilean Patagonia. Navigate across the wild beauty of the Exploradores River delta toward the legendary San Rafael Lagoon, one of the most awe-inspiring treasures along the Carretera Austral.
Sail through pristine fjords surrounded by glaciers, mountains, and floating blue icebergs until you reach the imposing San Rafael Glacier, a natural monument that embodies the raw power of nature.
Enjoy a homemade breakfast surrounded by breathtaking scenery, followed by a delicious Patagonian lunch served in front of the glacier’s massive ice wall. To crown the experience, raise your glass of whisky on the rocks — with millenary ice — as you take in the silence and majesty of this remote and unforgettable place.
A perfect blend of nature, flavor, and adventure — a journey to the end of the world you’ll never forget.

After around 3 hours of navigation, we’ll reach the San Rafael Lagoon National Park, home to the majestic San Rafael Glacier, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. If weather and tide conditions permit, we’ll disembark for a short 30-minute walk along a trail to visit the historic ruins of Hotel Ofqui, a reminder of Patagonia’s early exploration days. Back on board, we’ll approach the glacier’s massive ice wall to witness its awe-inspiring size and listen to the thunderous sound of ice breaking and falling into the lagoon. You’ll have time to capture incredible photos of the blue icebergs, and if you’re lucky, spot leopard seals resting on the floating ice. While admiring this breathtaking view, enjoy a homemade Patagonian lunch served on board, followed by a toast with whisky or local liqueur over ancient glacial ice, and finish with coffee and artisanal chocolates — the perfect ending to a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
