Beagle Channel Cruise & Sea Lion Island

After meeting at the Ushuaia tourist pier, we will sail towards the islands of the Beagle Channel, the natural border between Argentina and Chile.

The cruise will first take us near the Isla de los Pájaros, or Bird Island, home to various species of birds including seagulls and albatrosses. Next, we will visit the Isla de los Lobos, or Sea Lion Island, where you can photograph the sea lion colony.

We will proceed to the islet of the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse to see a large colony of cormorants and learn about the shipwreck of the SS Monte Cervantes, which occurred in the 1930s.

Our tour then continues at Puerto Karelo, where we will disembark for a 20-minute guided tour to photograph local wildlife. After the walking tour, we will return to the boat for the cruise back, concluding the 2.5-hour tour.
