Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll embark from the Ushuaia tourist pier, ready to set sail on a peaceful boat trip through the Beagle Channel. On this first part of the trip, we'll explore the waters of Paso Chico.

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

We'll continue very close to the Isla de los Lobos, 'Wolf Island', home to one- and two-furred sea lions, and we'll see the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. The boat trip will continue to the famous Martillo Island, where we'll admire its penguin colony. Did you know that this island is home to one of the most famous Magellanic penguin colonies in the world? We'll also be able to see Gentoo penguins!

On the way back, we'll be able to see from the boat historical places such as the Túnel and Remolino ranches and the semi-sunken hull of the Monte Sarmiento ship.

After sighting the penguin colony on Martillo Island, we'll head for the tourist pier in Ushuaia, where we'll return after 4.5 hours.
