Beagle Channel Cruise & Sea Lion Island

After meeting at the Ushuaia tourist pier, we'll set sail towards the islands of the Beagle Channel, which serves as the natural border between Argentina and Chile.

Firstly, our cruise will take us near Isla de los Pájaros, or Bird Island. You'll observe many species of birds here, including seagulls, albatrosses, and ducks. The tour continues to Isla de los Lobos, or Sea Lion Island, where you can take photos of the sea lion colony.

Next, we will visit the islet with the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse to see the cormorants in the area and learn about the shipwreck of the SS Monte Cervantes, which sank in the 1930s.

Our final stop will be at Puerto Karelo, where we'll disembark for a brief 20-minute guided tour to photograph local wildlife. After the walking tour, we'll return to the boat for the cruise back to the starting point, concluding our 2.5 hour tour.
