A really enjoyable trip into the Beagle Channel with plenty of space on board — the boat wasn’t crammed full at all, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. There were lots of seats and good availability, and even though they had a captive audience the food and drink were very reasonably priced. The route was well chosen, with thoughtful stops on an island, and to see ssea‑lions and the lighthouse, and plenty of time to get our own photos. At the end there was an up‑sell of professional photos, but it wasn’t pushy. The photographers had clearly put real effort into capturing guests with great backgrounds, and the price was fair — we were happy to buy them for the memories. A smooth, good‑value outing and one we’d definitely recommend

thnak you for sharing it

Worth it

Kalliopi_A, Oct 2024

Nice navigation. I recommend it. Remember to check the time of your visit to see if you can also combine it with watching penguins - the longer navigation.

Nice tour but rude operator

Vincent_W, May 2024

The Beagle channel tour itself was nice, the only issue we had was with the operators. They have the meetup/pickup time as 3 PM in Viator. For every single other trek/tour, that means we meet at 3 PM. For them, it means meet at 2:15 PM with a 2:40 PM deadline. I did make a mistake in reading their message and reading 2:30, so when they messaged me at 2:10 that they were outside while we were still getting ready, it was a surprise. I apologized for the misunderstanding and offered to buy a taxi so they wouldn't have to wait. They decided to wait. When I got in the car and greeted the driver and apologized for the misunderstanding, she completely ignored me and started driving. Only talking to us when we were arriving in an annoyed tone without much explanation. After our trip they said they would take us home, great! Our boat landed and there was a line to buy the professional photos the photographers took, so we delayed about 15 minutes after arrival to finish buying the photos which is a well known service on the boat. They left us there without so much a message. Completely disrespectful and rude host (his wife/driver at least, the man texting me was friendly). You are better off taking a $3 taxi to the pier and going to the little green shop and buying the tour for $15 less.

thank you to let us know

Quality Tour of Beagle Channel

Serena_S, Mar 2024

Quality tour that meant we saw everything promised. We also got to walk on Bridges Island. The sea lions were amazing!!!

Lovely experience but thought it was a bit overpriced

Lisa_B, Jan 2024

Had a lovely time and felt like we saw the main sights in Ushuaia - definitely the thing to do. We saw some sea lions but not too many and the lighthouse of course. We it was a little overpriced for what it was. We got a tour in Punta Arenas to Magdalen’s Island for the penguins and ended up seeing way more sea lions on this one!

Underwhelming.

Bruce_W, Nov 2023

Smooth ride. Pleasantly surprised by trekking at the end of the day. I think the variety of wildlife was somewhat limited (sea lions and cormorants). I, personally, would have preferred to see a tour that took in the penguinos.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

that is another tur with penguins, longuer 5 hours

Great experience

gerald_L, Feb 2020

Nice viewing. Liked that we were able to get off and walk around the paths on the island. Saw much wildlife.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Dear Gerald, We are really happy that you could enjoy this beautiful excursion. Of course we hope that you visit us again. Kind regards,

Bonne excursion

Christine_L, Jan 2025

Très bonne organisation, même si cette excursion a dû être annulée et reprogrammée à cause du temps. Les équipes de gestion sont au top!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

muy amable muchas gracias

Súper!

Andrea_D, Dec 2024

Lo pasamos súper! Nos pareció que la duración está muy bien. Creo que más tiempo se te hace muy largo. El personal abordo, muy amable. Lo único que si uno está en cubierta disfrutando el paisaje, se pierde la explicación de la guía abordo. Estaría bueno que se pueda escuchar desde afuera lo que dicen.

Linda navegación

Alice_M, Nov 2024

Viaje de 2 y media horas en precioso catamaran. Se puede salir afuera. Va hasta el faro L'eclaire, se baja en una isla, y en otras se ven lobos y cormoranes.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

graciass

Pésima experiencia, pagué doble

JORGE_L, Oct 2024

Tengan cuidado con esta tour en Viator, tienen un tour prácticamente igual y no te informan que son tour prácticamente iguales, solo que uno requiere más tiempo que otro, tengan cuidado para que no gasten doble como lo hice yo

gracias

Razoável! Mas vale a pena a experiência!

MARCOS_C, Oct 2024

A composição da natureza faz valer a pena! Mas achei muito cheio, acredito que tinha umas 100 pessoas no catamaran, o que acaba por deixar o passeio desconfortável para o trânsito dentro do barco, uso dos banheiros, tirar fotos e para os desembarques e embarques nas paradas.
