01
Make the day workable
Fyno saves this after the catamaran and walk from Paine Grande. Remove it if the sailing or trek leaves insufficient time; never treat lake conditions or a departure as guaranteed. [3]
02
Confirm your starting point
Use the location and exact operator meeting point when planning the approach. A place in the same curation group can be well outside the town or road corridor.
There is only one kayak operator in the Grey Glacier area — Big Foot Patagonia. It happens to be our team's favorite in entire Patagonia, so you'll be in very experienced hands throughout your adventure.

If you are not doing the W-Trek, you can still embark on this advanture by getting a ferry from Lago Grey Hotel to Refugio Grey which is an experience in itself. Check their schedule and booking options in the links section.

Compare the actual locations and access; this list does not establish a feasible same-day circuit.
Kayaking next to a glacier is as cool as it sounds — a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience of floating next to enourmous glacial icebergs. You don’t need previous experience or extra physical training even though it will make it more comfortable.
