You will have the opportunity to be part of this exclusive excursion, where you can walk alongside these fascinating creatures for one hour, accompanied by a specialized guide who will reveal the secrets of their life and behavior. Our journey begins with check-in at the Ushuaia tourist pier located at the port. From there, we will take a bus ride to Martillo Island along Route National No. 3, where you can marvel at the native vegetation: lenga and coihue forests, expansive peatlands, and majestic mountains. We will immerse ourselves in the beauty of the forests until we reach the boarding point, where the real adventure will begin. Once we arrive, we will board the semi-rigid boats that will take us to the magical Martillo Island. After approximately 15 minutes of navigation, you will enjoy a one-hour walk, exploring the colony of Papua and Magellanic penguins alongside our expert guide.

We will begin our day at the charming tourist pier of Ushuaia, located at Av. Prefectura Naval 410. From there, we will travel by bus along Route Nº 3 and Route J, where you'll have the opportunity to marvel at the beauty of our Fuegian forest on the way to the fascinating Martillo Island. Once we arrive at the boarding area, we will hop on a semi-rigid boat for a 20-minute navigation to the island. There, we will walk for an hour alongside Magellanic and Gentoo penguins, guided by a specialist who will share fascinating insights about the lives of these incredible animals. After this experience, we will head back to the city. Later, we will meet again at the tourist pier of Ushuaia, to begin another exciting adventure: a navigation through the majestic Beagle Channel. During this journey, we will have the chance to observe the Fuegian birdlife at Bird Island and Sea Lion Island, as well as the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure! From the hotel, we leave Ushuaia Eastbound along National Route No. 3 and Route "J". Once we arrive at Lasiphashaj river, we will prompt the inflatable canoes down the river, and into the Beagle Channel. The group will be provided with rubber boots, overpants and lifejackets for the activity, as well as a safety briefing. Enjoy unique views of rugged coastlines and remote beaches from the sea. Once on the Beagle Channel, passengers will row setting course to the ranch. Throughout the journey at sea we will see wildlife: a variety of different seabirds and it is also usual, on the way to Harberton, to catch a sight of sea lions. At Estancia Harberton, on board a motorboat, we’ll leave towards Martillo Island. From the boat, we'll have the chance to see the charming Magellanic and Gentoo penguins in their breeding lair. Navigation on the motorboat continues up to the main attraction of the day: the enormous Gable Island, where lunch with a good Patagonian wine, soft drink and mineral water awaits. After coffee, we’ll go for a hike to know more about this gorgeous island, crossing over beaver dams and through the forest to reach the Beagle Channel shore. From there we’ll take the boat to reach Puerto Harberton, and to hop on the bus back to Ushuaia.
