Christian was a knowledgeable guide but there wasn't all that much wildlife to view Mostly just a boat ride with a few sightings of penguins in the water and a whale. Lots of petrals.

Itinerary
The rate of tourist pier is not included. Sailing starts sailing from the local tourist pier, aboard a 15-passenger yacht, crossing the wide Ushuaia Bay until reaching the Beagle Channel through Paso Chico. Throughout the journey you can enjoy a coffee with liquor, different varieties of tea, a rich hot chocolate with sweet cookies and of course the typical Argentine mate.
The first stop is on Isla Alicia where you visit the colony of sea lions.
In this Island you can appreciate the bird fauna of Fueguina, highlighting Cauquenes, Cook and Gray Seagulls, among others.
We continue navigation to Isla de los Lobos, where sea lions of one and two hairs live. Both islands belong to the Bridges archipelago.
Arriving at the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, you can see colonies of Imperial Cormorants and Rockies, while you know the history of the collapse of the SS Monte Cervantes that he starred in 1930.
Durante la navegación de regreso se realiza un descenso en la Isla Karelo, donde se puede visitar concheros Yámanas genuinos. Esta caminata está guiada, dura alrededor de 30 minutos y nos concentra en un punto panorámico.
During the return to the city of Ushuaia, you can enjoy an amazing panoramic view of the city and the mountain range that surrounds it

Getting close to the animals. They gave us ample time to take pictures. The island hike was very scenic.
There is a LOT of time spent going from one place to another. Photographing was not great and I had hoped to spend more time seeing the animals. The staff was great.
Nice sites, wonderful crew, lots of knowledge, beautiful weather. Boat was comfortable. Right amount of guest to travel with
Long boring. We emailed to confirm ahead that there were penguins on this trip and were told that yes we would see penguins. When we got on the boat we were told that there were no penguins on this trip. We travelled a long way to see penguins and instead sat on a boat for 4 hours to see things that we could see from our cruise ship.
Notified of 1 hour time change the evening before. Rushed to get to the meeting point only to find it closed. Were told the tour had been changed to another boat because of the weather and finally told that it had been cancelled. When finally got internet we had received an Email advising of the cancelation. Fortunately we were able to book a tour on another boat at the dock.
Great wildlife trip, very knowledgeable and informative guide. Well maintained vessel. Good value for money.
We really enjoyed seeing and taking pictures of the seals and sea birds on their shared island. We also enjoyed walking on the small Bridges Island. It was really a lovely little spot.
The elephant seal and bird were great The scenery is spectacular The guide was informative Overall a great day
Great value 4 hours around Beagle Channel seeing seabirds, seals and a penguin! Good communication beforehand and location right next to cruise port. Friendly guide in Lucas. Only downside was lack of health and safety. Boarding challenging for older and less able and no life jackets offered/ available
The tour was intimate (a dozen people), really making enjoy every picture stop. Derlis and Lucas have been amazing with their explanations.
Perfect guidence to beagle channel! They were very kind and helpful. Very recommendable activity to everyone will visit Ushuaia.
Loved stop on Bridges Island and up close of the lighthouse. The hot chocolate was a great touch. Nice trip
Wonderful tour. The guide gave all info in English and Spanish. We saw sea lions, many birds, explored an island! Loved it
A pleasant and relaxed trip on a passenger boat with adequate facilities. We had good weather. The guide Lou was well prepared and informative. The walk on the island was really nice and Lou gave good information on the flora.
If I didn’t take the excursion, I would have probably been resting in my room like the sea wolves. The captain, crew and organizers were outstanding. If you get bored just imagine that you are getting ready to shipwreck on Gilligan’s Island with the people that you are with. With all seriousness it was very informative, relaxing and enjoyable. Very glad that I did it.
very professional-everything was straightforward.Guide was amazing very informative,boat a perfect size for a smaller group.The weather was spectacular and we saw many sights from the natural landscape to Sea Lions,penguins,Albatross etc.A gentle stress free trip,plenty of time just slowly cruising and then a wonderful walk on a small island-well worth doing.The views were stunning.Would highly recommend this smaller boat trip for either a morning or afternoon .
Lucas was a wonderful guide. He had excellent knowledge of the local seas, topography, flora and fauna, Birds and mammals. We were happy to see humpback whales - a real treat!
Great activity. Well organized and guide is experienced on the subject and in handling a tour for both english and Spanish speaking groups.
Guide très sympathique. Nous avions réservé pour 5 heures de navigation avec un snack. En réalité 4 h de navigation et pas de snack, seulement un thé. Nous avons l'impression d'avoir été mis dans un groupe qui ne correspondait pas à ce que nous avions reserve Très belle balade sur le canal..
Very good excursion, very interesting explanations of Luis - who demonstrates a lot of knowledge of both animals and history - making comments with good information. Captain Luis, from the vessel Las Tres Marías, is a professional with excellent navigation. Bottom line: unmissable excursion and to enjoy.
Muy pobre la excursión. No se visito la isla donde están los lobos marinos. Solo se pudieron ver algunos,que estaban donde se encuentra el faro. una perdida de dinero y tiempo en una embarcación vieja
