Glacier Boats for Children and Limited Mobility

Most glacier boats take children, and the fares for them are set by each operator; the trip with the strictest limits here is Hielo y Aventura S.A’s Blue Safari, a boat and a walk on the shore, for ages 6 to 70 only. For a wheelchair the answer depends on the port as much as the boat: Solo Patagonia SA’s full day has ramps, a lift and adapted toilets from the pier to its Spegazzini base, Hielo y Aventura S.A’s one-hour boat from Bajo de las Sombras carries a wheelchair-accessible tag, and the quay at Puerto F. P. Moreno is not suitable for wheelchairs. Ask the operator about your situation before you book.

Children’s fares and age limits

Children’s fares are the operators’ own, in pesos or US dollars on their sites, and may differ on GetYourGuide, where the calendar shows the price for each traveller. Read November 2026.

The national park lets children up to 6 in free. Bring a passport or ID for each child: on several of these boats a child’s fare needs proof of age, a photo of the document on SALUM TOUR & TRAVEL’s days.

Wheelchairs, stairs and seasickness

The full days. Solo Patagonia SA's cruise lists ramps, a lift at the Punta Bandera dock, a floating dock at the Spegazzini base, adapted toilets on the boats and at the refuge, and accessible trails and viewpoints. On Cruceros Marpatag's day the premium lounge is reached by stairs and is not suitable for people with reduced mobility, and the drop-off at the Perito Moreno walkways is not available to wheelchair users. SALUM TOUR & TRAVEL's cruise-ship day is not for wheelchair users, people over 70, or anyone prone to vertigo or seasickness.

The one-hour boats. Hielo y Aventura S.A's Nautical Safari from Bajo de las Sombras is tagged wheelchair accessible and needs no particular fitness. Southern Spirit Lago Argentino's boat on GetYourGuide carries a wheelchair-accessible tag but also lists wheelchair users and people with mobility impairments among those it does not suit, and at Puerto F. P. Moreno the quay is not suitable for wheelchairs (Southern Spirit Lago Argentino’s FAQ). Bross Travel's boat is not for wheelchair users.

The walk on the shore. Hielo y Aventura S.A's Blue Safari is easy, but its 1.5 km trail crosses woodland, sand and rocks, and it is not for pregnant women or people with back, heart or breathing problems, recent surgery, mobility impairments or motion sickness.

At the walkways themselves, the park’s map marks one accessible trail, 565 m and about 30 minutes, among six.

Ask before you book

The tags and lists above are what the listings and operators print, not an assessment of your needs. Message the operator through your booking, or before it, with your situation: a wheelchair’s size, a child’s age, a heart condition. The operator is the one who decides who boards.
