Additional Information

Setting off from the Tourist Pier in our city, we initiate our expedition toward the heart of the Beagle Channel, as we slowly enjoy the expanding view of Ushuaia’s coastline. Heading southwest, we reach the island inhabited by sea lions, witnessing these creatures in their natural surroundings in a magnificent ambiance. We then proceed towards the Birds island, a residence for Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants, and an ideal spot to observe various marine bird species. Our journey then takes us towards the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. Following the southern shoreline of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, upon reaching Martillo Island, we will get close to the beach and spectators can marvel at how the colony of Magellanic Penguins, that nest during summer, show a fascinating curiosity towards the boat, diving under the catamaran and resurfacing, a scene that beckons countless photo opportunities. Following this, we complete our expedition by sailing back to the Tourist Pier.

Smooth sailing - The voyage was quite comfortable and exciting. We had ample time to enjoying watching and photographing the comorants, sea lions and penguins as well as the lighthouse. During the cruising time from one viewing area to the next, the indoor cabins were a welcomed relief from the cold. The guide was very personable and took the time to answer questions from the guests.

Very disapointing - The boat didn't circumnavigate Martillo Island and because of this we only saw Magellanic Penguins. Papua and king penguins were on the other side of the island and the company refused to let the passage see them althoug it was included in the program of the activity.
