Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll embark from the Ushuaia tourist pier, ready to set sail on a boat trip through the Beagle Channel. During the cruise, we'll explore the waters of Paso Chico.
We'll sail alongside Bird Island to observe various bird species, including skuas, black-browed albatrosses, steamer ducks, geese, kelp gulls, and gray gulls.
Next, we will pass near Isla de los Lobos, home to sea lions, and see the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. The boat will then continue to Martillo Island, known for its penguin colony, including both Magellanic and Gentoo penguins.
On the return journey, we will view historical sites such as the Túnel and Remolino ranches and the semi-sunken hull of the Monte Sarmiento ship.
The entire trip will last approximately 4.5 hours, concluding at the Ushuaia tourist pier.
