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 birds such as skuas, black-browed albatrosses, steamer ducks, geese, kelp gulls, and gray gulls.

Next, we’ll pass near Isla de los Lobos, home to sea lions, and see the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. The trip will continue to Martillo Island, where we'll visit its penguin colony, which hosts one of the most significant Magellanic penguin colonies worldwide, along with Gentoo penguins.

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

After visiting the penguin colony, we'll head back to the Ushuaia tourist pier, completing the trip in 4.5 hours.
