About BigFoot Patagonia
BigFoot Patagonia is Puerto Natales' pioneering adventure operator and the only company authorised to run ice hiking and kayaking excursions in the Grey Glacier and Grey Lake sector of Torres del Paine National Park. Based on the waterfront at Kau Café & Lounge beside the Señoret Channel, the company has built more than two decades of experience guiding visitors across one of Patagonia's most spectacular ice fields.
Their flagship experience is a guided ice hike on Grey Glacier, where trekkers strap on crampons and follow certified guides across the blue ice for around two and a half hours, exploring crevasses, seracs and meltwater pools. They also run sea kayak expeditions on Grey Lake, paddling among floating icebergs with multiple daily departures. All technical equipment — helmet, harness, ice axe, crampons and backpack — is provided, and safety briefings precede every departure.
With more than 21 years operating exclusively in the Grey sector, BigFoot Patagonia stands out for its exclusive glacier access, professional bilingual guides and small-group focus. It remains the go-to choice for travellers wanting to walk on glacier ice or paddle beside icebergs during their Torres del Paine visit.
