Luis de Saboya — Paddle in front of the ice wall
Hear the ice from water level.
We sail through Seno Almirantazgo and Fiordo Parry to the Glaciar Luis de Saboya area. There, in the sheltered waters of Bahía Pared, you get into a kayak and paddle in front of the glacier wall, always at a safe distance and guided by our team.
Few experiences in the world compare to hearing the ice from water level.
