Description

The Navigation Grey is a catamaran boat that operates from Hotel Lago Grey in Torres del Paine. Passengers must have a pre-paid ticket and check-in at the Hotel Grey at the time specified. Passengers will then be required to walk a few hundred metres to the embarkation point, however, at certain times of the year when the water level is too high or too low passengers will be required to walk through a wooded area and along Grey Beach. If a walk along Grey Beach is required it will NOT be suitable for people who have any kind of mobility issue.

On Board

Once onboard the navigation begins in a small inlet and takes in the length of Lago Grey passing by any icebergs that are floating in the lake. On a clear day the surrounding scenery is spectacular with views of hanging glaciers and snow-capped peaks around the Park. After about 45mins the boat will reach the drop-off point for people going to, and coming from, refugio grey.

Once other passengers coming from refugio grey have come aboard the trip continues towards Glacier Grey, passing by the face of the glacier. Here, in the face of the glacier you will see the stunning spectrum of blue-coloured ice and jagged ice peaks and hear the crack and rumble of the glacier splitting as it moves.

The lined walls of the mountains will show clear evidence of the glacial forces that twisted and scratched lines onto the rock.

If Combining Navigation Grey with the W Trek

In Patagonia the weather is unpredictable, one day it is calm and warm and the next it can be blowing “hurricane-force” winds, cold, wet and rainy. Therefore, the scheduled navigation times from Navigation Grey can be interrupted at short notice. In this event we have the following options whereby your itinerary will be adapted.

The Navigation Grey operates as a return trip from Hotel Lago Grey, or a one-way trip from Hotel Lago Grey to Refugio Grey, or a one-way trip from Refugio Grey to Hotel Lago Grey.
