Our verdict
The two glaciers most people picture when they picture Torres del Paine, and the only trip here that reaches both. Six hours, US$ 120, and a rating of 4.7 over 119 reviews. Between this and the 3-hour Grey Glacier trip you have the whole water side of the park covered.
Best for: Travellers who want calving glacier fronts rather than a lake crossing.
