In 1883 when Charles Darwin set sail from Ushuaia on board the HMS Beagle, the peaks of Tierra del Fuego National Park must have looked as otherworldly as they do today. A haven for wildlife, the Beagle Channel is backed by the mountains of the last land of the Americas, and as you pass islands inhabited by sea lions, gulls and penguins rather than people, the proximity to Antarctica becomes tangible.

We had a lovely tour! The...

We had a lovely tour! The guide spoke English well. You could tell that he loves his work as evidenced by his enthusiasm. The boat was not full which also helped with the comfort level on the boat. The boat was clean and spacious. The bathrooms were clean. The crew took care of the guests, both young and old. A fine few hours discovered the end of the earth!

Cindy_L, Feb 2026

Terrific Tour!

Gabriel was a terrific guide. He made sure we knew safety rules and what was going to happen for the day. He pointed out wildlife and gave information about the channel. We saw numerous whales. The captain slowed down so we could all take pictures. We also saw lots of cormorants and sea lions. It was an excellent day despite rain on the way back.
