The tour guides are so professional and the penguins are so cute ! The tour worths the money!

Amber – United States

I enjoyed the unique opportunity to see wild animals up close and not a zoo. It made me feel like I'm one of them, not a human spectator (even though I still technically was, the penguins seemed comfortable with me walking around them) ❤️ The Beauty of how many different mountains are behind mountains, behind mountains was unique for me. Every time you looked out the boat window it was different scenery 🗻🏔️⛰️

Full description

Embark on a unique adventure in Ushuaia, where you'll explore the breathtaking Beagle Channel and the fascinating Martillo Island.

IMPORTART: The start time of this activity and the order of the activities will be determined based on availability at the time and it cannot be chosen. Harberton Ranch is closed on Tuesday!

You may start with a three-hour yacht cruise on the Beagle Channel. During this journey, you'll observe the rich birdlife of the Fuegian region on Bird Island and Sea Lion Island, and admire the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. After the cruise, you’ll return to Ushuaia to continue the trip along Route 3 towards Martillo Island. There, you will board a semi-rigid boat that will take you to the island, where you'll disembark and enjoy a one-hour guided walk along marked trails, surrounded by Magellanic and Gentoo penguins.

Alternatively, you might begin with the trip to Martillo Island, traveling by bus along Route 3 and Route J, appreciating the beautiful Fuegian forest, ski resorts, and peat bog valleys. Upon arrival, you'll embark on a short boat ride to the island. After the walk with the penguins, you will return to Ushuaia for the yacht cruise on the Beagle Channel.

Both options guarantee a day full of adventure and spectacular views, combining the navigation on the historic Beagle Channel with a close encounter with penguins in their natural habitat on Martillo Island. Get ready to explore the pristine nature of Tierra del Fuego and create unforgettable memories at the end of the world!

To start off the bus was top notch, a new Volvo. was great to see penguins up close and in there habitat. Guides were friendly and informative. I think for the money paid for this tour the harbor tax should be eaten by city to enhance tourism.
