Martillo Island Penguins Day Trip

On this day trip, you'll see the famous penguins of Martillo Island and enjoy a boat trip through the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia.

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll embark from the Ushuaia tourist pier for a boat trip through the Beagle Channel, initially exploring the waters of Paso Chico.

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

We'll pass very close to Isla de los Lobos, home to one- and two-furred sea lions, and see the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. The boat will then continue to Martillo Island to admire its penguin colony, which includes one of the most notable Magellanic penguin colonies in the world, along with Gentoo penguins.

On the return trip, we'll view historical sites such as the Túnel and Remolino ranches and the semi-sunken hull of the Monte Sarmiento ship.

After visiting the penguin colony on Martillo Island, we'll return to the Ushuaia tourist pier, concluding the trip after 4.5 hours.
