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. We will explore the waters of Paso Chico.

During the cruise, we'll sail alongside Bird Island, observing various bird species including skuas, black-browed albatrosses, steamer ducks, geese, kelp gulls, and gray gulls.

Next, we'll pass very close to Isla de los Lobos, home to one- and two-furred sea lions, and view the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. The boat will continue to Martillo Island, known for its penguin colony, which includes one of the most famous Magellanic penguin colonies in the world, as well as Gentoo penguins.

On the return journey, we will see historical sites such as the Túnel and Remolino ranches and the semi-sunken hull of the Monte Sarmiento ship.

After visiting the penguin colony, we'll return to the Ushuaia tourist pier, completing the tour in 4.5 hours.
