About this tour

If you choose the option with transfers, we will pick you up from your hotel in Bariloche in the morning and take you to Puerto Pañuelo , located within Nahuel Huapi National Park. If you prefer to arrive on your own, our team will be waiting for you at the port to welcome you and assist you with the boarding process.

Unlike the traditional tour, Puerto Blest Premium begins with a series of exclusive benefits that make all the difference from the start. Thanks to priority boarding , you`ll access the catamaran first, avoiding long waits and starting the experience in a much more comfortable and relaxed way.

Once aboard, the journey across Lake Nahuel Huapi begins, surrounded by some of Patagonia`s most iconic landscapes. As the boat travels among mountains, forests, and crystal-clear waters, you can enjoy complimentary coffee service, with your choice of hot beverage—coffee, tea, or hot chocolate—accompanied by a homemade cake or pudding, perfect for contemplating the surroundings in complete tranquility.

During the journey you will also have the opportunity to access, at a certain point during the navigation, the captain`s cabin , an exclusive benefit of this experience that allows you to observe the route from a privileged perspective and obtain unique photographs of the lake and the mountain landscapes.

Upon arriving at Puerto Blest , you`ll begin your visit in one of the most iconic spots of Nahuel Huapi National Park. From there, you`ll hike along trails through the Valdivian rainforest to reach the imposing Cascada de los Cántaros (Waterfall of the Jugs), one of Bariloche`s most famous landmarks, where the sound of the water and the lush vegetation create a truly unforgettable scene.

After the tour, it`s time to enjoy another of the highlights of this experience: an à la carte lunch at the historic Hotel Puerto Blest . The menu includes a choice of main course, appetizer, or dessert, as well as beverages, allowing you to enjoy a first-class culinary break surrounded by one of Patagonia`s most spectacular landscapes.

Those wishing to extend the adventure can optionally add a trip to Lake Frías , famous for the intense emerald color of its glacial waters and for offering some of the most impressive mountain landscapes in the region.

After a day full of nature, sailing and exclusive experiences, you will begin your return journey sailing again across Lake Nahuel Huapi to Puerto Pañuelo, from where, if you booked the service, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Bariloche.

Frequently asked questions

The Puerto Blest Premium excursion in Bariloche is a full-day lake tour through Nahuel Huapi National Park. You'll sail by catamaran from Puerto Pañuelo along the Blest Arm of Lake Nahuel Huapi to Puerto Blest, surrounded by Andean forests and mountains. The tour typically includes time to explore trails and visit the Cascada de los Cántaros (Waterfall of the Jugs) and Lake Cántaros, with its walkways and photo viewpoints. Many travelers also opt for a trip on Lake Frías, famous for its emerald-green waters and views of the Andes Mountains near Chile. The Premium option generally offers preferred seating and onboard service, including a bilingual guide.

The Puerto Blest Premium excursion typically lasts between 7 and 9 hours, departing in the morning and returning in the afternoon, making it ideal for a full day of sightseeing in Bariloche. The usual meeting and boarding point is Puerto Pañuelo, in the Llao Llao area. It is recommended to arrive 30 to 45 minutes early to check in, pay the applicable fees, and board without worry. Some operators offer hotel transfers for an additional fee; if you don't have hotel transfers, allow time to get there on your own. The itinerary and schedules may vary depending on weather and lake conditions. Bring your voucher, ID, and cash for port and access fees.

The price generally includes the catamaran cruise ticket, a bilingual guide (Spanish/English), passenger insurance, and free time to visit Puerto Blest and the Cántaros area. The boarding/port tax, entrance to Nahuel Huapi National Park, meals and drinks on board, and the hotel-Puerto Pañuelo transfer are generally not included unless booked separately. Optional navigation on Lake Frías usually incurs an additional cost. Gratuities and personal expenses are not included. The Premium category may offer preferred seating and onboard amenities; please check your voucher for specific services, accepted payment methods, and currency.

For this excursion in Bariloche, it's best to dress in layers: a waterproof and windproof jacket, a fleece, a hat, and gloves in cold weather. Also bring sunscreen, sunglasses, water, snacks, a camera, and comfortable shoes with non-slip soles. Carry cash for fees and your ID, especially if you plan to extend the hike to Lago Frías. The hike is easy, although the trail to Cascada de los Cántaros has sections with stairs and walkways. It's suitable for families and travelers of all ages with adequate mobility; strollers are not practical on the trails. The Patagonian weather is changeable, with wind and possible rain, even in summer; consider taking antiemetic medication if you get seasick.

Book in advance, especially during peak season (summer and winter holidays), as catamaran tours are limited. Check your voucher to confirm the schedule, meeting point, and included services. Policies typically allow free cancellation up to 48–72 hours prior to departure; cancellations made outside this timeframe may incur penalties. Reconfirm the day before due to potential weather changes in Nahuel Huapi National Park. Arrive early to manage fees and board smoothly. Bring travel insurance, money for non-included services, and a warm jacket. For photos, alternate between the deck and interior depending on the wind. If your schedule allows, consider adding the optional tour to Lake Frías.

Puerto Blest Premium: lago esmeralda, cascadas y servicio top con Tangol en Bariloche

¡Qué paseo increíble! Reservé con Tangol y todo salió perfecto. Subimos al catamarán en Puerto Pañuelo, cruzamos el Nahuel Huapi hasta Puerto Blest y seguimos al Lago Frías, de un verde esmeralda que te deja sin palabras. El sendero a la Cascada de los Cántaros es soñado. El servicio Premium valió la pena: asientos cómodos, vistas arriba, bebida y guía genio. Súper puntuales. Ideal para fotos. Lleven abrigo/impermeable. Re haría este tour.

Premium Puerto Blest Cruise: Zero-Hassle Patagonia Magic Day

Totally loved the Blest Premium Port day! Smooth check-in at Puerto Pañuelo, comfy reserved seats, and a chill vibe on Nahuel Huapi. The boat cruise to Puerto Blest was stunning, with emerald Lago Frías and the short walk to Cántaros waterfall. Our bilingual guide nailed stories and tips. Timing was spot-on, coffee and snacks hit the spot. If you want Patagonia scenery minus hassle, go premium.

Blest Premium inesquecível: natureza surreal, barco confortável e serviço Tangol impecável e atento

Amei o passeio Blest Premium em Bariloche! Navegar pelo Nahuel Huapi até Puerto Blest foi surreal, e a Cascada de los Cántaros é de cair o queixo. Barco confortável, equipe simpática e organização da Tangol impecável. Fizemos trilhas curtinhas, tempo livre pra fotos e aquele verde do Lago Frías é inacreditável. Dica: leve casaco e capa de chuva, e reserve assentos premium na janela. Vale cada centavo, perfeito pra casais e famílias também.

Magischer Tag: Blest Premium Port mit Tangol, Natur pur und Genuss

Was für ein Tag! Der Blest Premium Port mit Tangol Tours war der Hammer. Ab Puerto Pañuelo gemütlich aufs Boot, super Sitzplätze, Glas in der Hand, und diese Aussicht über den Nahuel Huapi! Puerto Blest wirkt magisch, der Wald duftet, und der kurze Walk zu den Cántaros-Wasserfällen ist easy und fotogen. Danach rüber zum smaragdgrünen Lago Frías – Farben wie aus dem Filter. Unser Guide war witzig und top organisiert. Alles lief entspannt. Tipp: Windjacke mitnehmen, Platz am Deck schnappen. Preis absolut wert. Ich würde sofort wieder mitfahren. Jederzeit.

Puerto Blest en or: journée magique depuis Bariloche, vraiment

Franchement, énorme coup de cœur pour l’excursion Blest Premium Port. Navigation douce sur le Nahuel Huapi, vues de carte postale, arrêt à Puerto Blest et balade jusqu’à la cascade Los Cántaros: wow. Le catamaran est super confortable, guide top et drôle, tout s’enchaîne nickel. J’ai adoré chiller au port avec un café. Astuces: chopez une fenêtre, prenez coupe-vent, réservez tôt pour le pont. Parfait en solo ou en famille. Merci Tangol Tours !
