The departure is scheduled at 09:30 hrs from your accommodation in Puerto Natales, however there is the possibility of leaving 3 hours before to sail early in case you need to connect with another service in the afternoon.
At 12:00 hrs, check-in of the navigation is done at the Hotel Lago Gray. Subsequently, the passengers are taken to the Nursery sector to make the walk of about 30 minutes along the beach of the lake and arrive at the departure of 1:00 p.m. During the navigation there will be a stop at the Gray Shelter, where walkers who use the catamaran are usually raised and lowered as a transport entering or leaving the trekking circuit. Later you will sail along the entire face of the Gray Glacier, enjoying a pisco sour with millenary ice that is delivered as a courtesy on board. Then you return to the same point of departure on the peninsula of the Gray Lake Beach.
The passengers will walk again to the parking lot of the nursery where their transport will wait for them to return again to Puerto Natales.

TIPS
- Wear warm and comfortable clothes to enjoy sailing on the catamaran deck, in addition to firm footwear for walking on the lake beach.
- The parking garage in Lago Gray is open all year round, which sells snacks, sandwiches, drinks and coffee at reasonable prices.
- It is recommended to book this excursion in advance, since in the low and medium season the navigation is confirmed with a minimum of passengers, and in the high season the daily quotas are scarce.
