Good morning! Be sure to get the fuel needed for a full day outdoors while choosing what to have for breakfast today! You’ll go to the Perito Moreno glacier. Here, we chose to give you two options so you can choose based on your preferences. Both experiences include the visit to the walkways.
1. Minitrekking: a short navigation in front of the glacier and a trekking with crampons accompanied by mountain guides. The ice trek lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes. It’s a unique and unforgettable experience. (From 8 to 65 years old).
2. Big Ice: it starts at the same point as the Minitrekking, with the difference that you practically reach the center of the glacier. The trekking includes two hours of walking through the Andean forest and 3 hours on the glacier. Ideal for adventurous people. (From 18 to 50 years old).
Discovering Torres del Paine National Park
Torres del Paine is considered the world´s 8th natural wonder. You will stop at several privileged viewpoints of the park to see the iconic granite peaks and colorful lakes such as Nordenskjöld, Sarmiento, Pehoé, and Paine Cascade. While trekking, you will discover some of the fauna and flora of the area and we will learn more about the park’s water and rock prehistorical formations. The experience includes lunch and snacks.
Navigation to the fjords and glaciers
You’ll depart from The Singular’s dock to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers. During an hour and a half of navigation time between the fjords, you may observe colonies of sea lions and other animal species. After arriving, you’ll disembark at the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. After a short hike, you’ll reach the closest viewpoint of the glacier, allowing the time and the opportunity to take photos and learn more about glacier formation. Once you return to the vessel, you’ll slowly navigate to the front of the Balmaceda glacier and admire its natural beauty. You’ll continue navigating to a working Estancia, and enjoy a typical Patagonian lunch and horseback ride or trek within Estancia’s land. When you return to the hotel, you’ll have the rest of the afternoon to relax as you prepare to board the Australis Cruise the following morning.
Australis – Check In Day
Between 13:00 and 17:00 hrs, you’ll check-in at Muelle Prat (EPA) to embark at 18:00 hrs (arriving on our included private transfer from Punta Arenas). Once onboard, you’ll be part of a welcome toast and introduced to the Captain and his crew. The ship will sail to the far south immediately after. Through the mythical Strait of Magellan and the Beagle Channel, you’ll travel through Patagonia and the fjords of Tierra del Fuego.
Ainsworth Bay – Tuckers Islets
You’ll arrive in the vicinity of the Marinelli Glacier in Ainsworth Bay where you’ll learn how life resurfaces after the ice has melted. You’ll then hike through the wonderful sub-Antarctic Magellanic forest. You’ll also visit the Tuckers Islets, where you’ll see Magellanic penguins and cormorants from the Zodiacs.
Pia Glacier – Glacier Alley
You’ll sail along the northwest arm of the Beagle Channel to enter and disembark in the Pia Fjord. You’ll sail to the viewpoint from where you can see the homonymous glacier, whose main peak extends from the top of the mountain range to the sea. After this unforgettable experience, you’ll continue the navigation under the majestic gaze of “Glacier Alley”.
Cape Horn – Wulaia Bay
You’ll arrive at the Cape Horn National Park, where you’ll disembark, if the weather conditions are suitable, to experience the magic of walking through one of the southernmost points of the world. In the afternoon, you’ll disembark at Wulaia Bay, a historic site of one of the largest settlements of the native Yagans canoeists. You’ll reach a viewpoint, walking through the Magellanic forest in which lengas, coigües, canelos and ferns grow, among other species.
Disembark at around 8:30 AM the Australis Cruise at Ushuaia’s port to start your adventure through our last stop. This will be a chill day after 4 days of adventures sailing the sea. Arrive on our private transfer, check in at your hotel, and prepare for a one-hour horseback riding experience at 3pm. Then you’ll have the whole day to relax in the in-and-out heated pool and spa at the hotel.
*** The proposed excursions and tours are available year-round and can be replaced by:
*A walk with penguins (from November till March): Full-day experience where you’ll take a motor boat to Martillo Island. From the boat, you can see penguins in their breeding site. The motorboat ride then continues to the main attraction of the day: the enormous Gable Island, where lunch awaits us (not included). Then, the walk begins to explore this wonderful island. Along the way you will find remains left behind by the Yámana civilization and the first settlers.
*Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking (from November till April): Full-day experience starting at the Andorra Valley. The walk begins bordering a melting river, from where you can observe the characteristic peat bogs. Once in the forest, the ascent is constant, and once you have overcome the limit of the vegetation, you will reach the foot of this imposing glacier and its melting lagoon, the ideal setting to enjoy a delicious box lunch with a hot drink (included).
