Itinerary
We begin sailing from the Tourist Pier of our city, towards the Beagle Canal, enjoying as we move away, the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia, seeing the most important buildings, Maritime Museum (old prison), Museum of the End of the World, the industrial area, and the mountains Olivia and Cinco Hermanos.
We head to the Bridges Islands where we stop and descend. It is important to note that the walk that is made during this visit is not difficult and is available to anyone. In addition to having the experience of walking on a small island in the middle of the Beagle Channel, the goal is to appreciate the following three fundamental attractions: Conchero Yámanas: archaeological remains of the inhabitants of the Beagle Canal. A few meters from the pier are deposits of the settlements of the Yamanas or Yaganes, we will enter one of them and, from the explanations of the guide, we will imagine how they lived. In addition, a cut in the shell wall will allow us to better understand and observe the stratification of the discarded mussel leaflets. Touring the interpretation circuit, we appreciate the particular development that plants, flowers and fruits reach in this special ecosystem.
We board again and sail to the southwest, approaching the Isle of Los Lobos, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the view of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat, in a wonderful setting. Continuing the navigation, we will head towards the Island of Los Pájaros, habitat of Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants and privileged sector to see specimens of marine birdlife. We continue to Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name, where the ship Monte Cervantes was wrecked in 1930.
Return will be through the Chico Pass, seeing the Tunnel and Fique Estancias, return to Ushuaia, with a view of the imposing frame that gives the city Mount Martial and the glacier of the same name.

Very crowded on catamaran. Landscaping is scenic but a little boring. Expected to see more wildlife than birds.
Not as interesting as I thought it would be, for me a little oversold. Slow boarding and not sure why, the line kept stopping and starting. Guide talks were mainly in Spanish with a cut-down version in English. The 'walk' is a 100m to a sign for the town name. We didn't really get to do the Beagle Channel, just a small part of it, I thought we would have gone around the coastline further. Got to see the sealions from the boat though. Boat size was good with comfy seats and big windows and lots of outside space too.
We had a great experience, it was nice to see the city from the water perspective. Walking on the island was nice as well. We were lucky with the weather. Unfortunately we did not spot whales.
Very nice tour. Well organized. A very good cantarán crew. We enjoyed it thoroughly.
It's a big ship, nothing spectacular but if you wanna chill on a boat it's a nice programme. There is no real trekking, it's a 10 metres walk. The provider pushes people out who don't pay for the photos the professional photographers do on the boat. We saw penguins from far and sealions too.
On a beautiful calm day it was a great introduction to the landscape as my first holiday activity. The island visit was just a short path out and back but taking a moment on the beach was nice.
We were able to see lots of animals from sea lions, penguins, cormorants, and even some whales. The boat was comfortable and even made one stop to get off and explore an island.
It was OK. The boat changed our departure time to two hours later and we were not notified. This is not a problem when you have extra time but we were in port for just a day. The tour guide lady was good talking in both English and Spanish. The boat was clean and they sell food on board.
The experience was cancelled no less than 3 times due to weather conditions (weather seemed fine, but ok) but the problem is the lack of communication. At no point did we receive information of the cancellation and on all days did we have to travel to the city just before the excursion to learn it was cancelled.
Yes saw lots, and even 4 whale tails (flukes). up close to boat. Boat was nice, clean, warm and well laid out. Had to stand in long line to exchange reservation conf # for boarding receipt. Listing said to arrive 30 mins before. I would suggest allowing more time so you don't feel rushed.
We really enjoyed this tour. The hiking in the little island was super and the visit to the sea lions and birds islands were unforgettable as well. Highly recommended
Much depends on the weather conditions, if the sea is rough it can be annoying. The views and sights of the animals repay the possible discomfort.
Well organized, comfortable boat, beautiful landscapes, guide in eapanhol and English. We left at 9:30 and returned 3 hours later directly for lunch at a dozen good restaurants in the region.
Excelente ! La mejor navegacion en años. Sobre todo porque se baja en una isla y eso es muy lindo ….
I really liked how the guide was telling us about history of the place. The staff was very friendly.
