Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

I have just returned from a great trip to Cerro Tronador with Natural Travels which was lead by Juan Carlos. Could you please pass on my gratitude to him as his tour was very informative, interesting and a lot of fun! I understood whilst booking that it was in fact a Spanish speaking tour, however since there were a few English speakers on the tour, Juan went the extra mile to translate key pieces of information to us in English, even though we didn't ask him to do this. I also understand that it is customary to pay extra for an English speaking guide with other tours during booking, so this was a bonus-many thanks. A very enjoyable tour, many thanks Juan Carlos and Natural Travel!
5. MotoTour Bariloche
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
This Tour is totally unique! We take the traveler as a companion on the motorcycle ("Mototaxi" style). Or if you had a motorcycle, we will guide you through the region. It is totally new! There are no motorcycle tours of that kind in the entire region. It is a totally new way of observing nature, of living, seeing and smelling landscapes. To feel the wind, to feel the smells. To be able to feel the curves of a route or the 360 vision (towards the sides and up and down). Riding a motorcycle is living nature from the inside. This excursion has all the adventure that involves riding a motorcycle. It is totally unique. I am the pioneer of this new idea in the region and I am very happy about that.
Inclusions: Mate and Cookies, Motorcycle helmet, gloves and coat if necessary

Nice location and pretty sights. Be prepared to pick up tickets from the agency ahead of time, then you’re just one of many (100?) people on the excursion. If possible, buy the boat ride tickets from the ferry terminal and save $$$.

Whole experience was great, bit of confusion with the pickup but the whole ranch and horseback riding experience was amazing, views not to be missed, highlight of my South America tour. Guides are quite quiet due to language barrier so try keep up with an English speaking guide if necessary but didn't take from the views and scenery.
