Small group so not run of the mill - they changed the itinerary for us to be able to follow a humpback whale. Brilliant guide and team
Bas_R, Apr 2026
Great guide, fun day on the water! Saw many animals, whales, penguins, sea lions. Fully recommend this tour!
Tejas_J, Apr 2026
Excellent experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and patient. Nice small hike on one of the islands. Hot tea and coffee on board was welcome in the cold.
Deepa_N, Apr 2026
Excellent experience and very scenic trip - the kids enjoyed seeing the sea lions and the unexpected humpback whale.
Kenneth_R, Mar 2026
Absolutely fantastic excursion. Can't say enough good things about the crew, especially our guide Juan Pablo... he's the absolute best! Small group size also created a very nice atmosphere and everyone was chatting with one another by the end of the cruise.

Punctual start and arrival, excellent English, a lot of history and geographical knowledge, smaller groups which is much better in fact, tasty hot chocolate, many different sea animals and the famous light tower to see plus a walk on a kind of an island
I’ve enjoyed every minute.
Greatly recommendable!

We traveled to Antarctica prior to the tour so we thought we had enough of wildlife, but clearly we thought wrong. During the trip, we were lucky enough to see whales, so many birds and sea lions, and a lot of dolphins. The dolphins were following the boat and were gliding and jumping right next to us. Such a magical experience!
The itinerary was good and well balanced, the group size is perfect - there is room to roam around the boat, and our guide Christiano was really knowledgeable.

A great few hours out in the Channel. Sea Lions, cormorants, whales and albatross were seen. Great guide who was very informative and engaged.
Geoffrey_K, Mar 2026
Excellent boat excursion. 4 hour tour was perfect with very enjoyable itinerary. The small boat (22 ppl) made for an uncrowded experience. Our guide was very engaging and quite knowledgeable.
Jill_H, Mar 2026
About 25 of us headed out on a nice sized boat into the Beagle Channel where we saw many types of birds including hundred of cormorants, lots of fur seals up close, multiple whale spotting, a few Magellanic penguins, and the views were spectacular. There’s plenty of space up front and on top to be outside, plus plenty of seating inside for warmth and a break from the wind. We also stopped and walked on an island with fantastic views and interesting plants. Naturalist Christian was extremely knowledgeable, pointing out things to see and providing some history. Captain Christian was also fantastic as he kept us from other boats. We only saw/came close to one other while out (I was so pleasantly surprised by this), making our views and overall experience even better. I would recommend this tour.

If you have half a day to kill, this is an excellent trip. I think our trip went longer than that. Booth to check-in is on the water-front and easy to find, we spotted sei and hump back whales, albatross and cormorants everywhere, a sea lion colony, the famous lighthouse and a nature walk-on an island with stunning views of ushuaia and the Andes. Tour guide was very knowledgeable of the channel and its history. I would definitely do this trip again.

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!
Paul_V, Mar 2026
Really enjoyable cruise on the Beagle Channel. The boat is smaller than the big players but was comfortable and easy to take pictures of everything we saw.
Shirley_S, Mar 2026
Excellent trip, plenty to enjoy. Whales, sea lions, petals, albatross and other sea birds including penguins. Professional and well organised with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Great day out!
WKeith_D, Mar 2026
Small group of about 20 with a knowledgeable guide and opportunity to be up close to wildlife. Weather was wonderful.
Lukasz_S, Mar 2026
Good trip. Our guide Juan Pablo was amazing! Shared lots of knowledge about Tierra del Fuego, Beagle Channel, flora and fauna of the region. We have seen lots of birds and even a whale!
Amy_L, Feb 2026
The crew and our guide Chris is very professional and knowledgeable. Very smooth ride, highly recommended.
Chester_O, Feb 2026
Had a great experience guide was very informative and every one was very nice saw Penquins in the water, Sea Lions and Whales
Cindy_L, Feb 2026
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.
Robert_B, Feb 2026
Excellent tour. Our guide was great. Provided a lot of information in both Spanish and English. Beautiful scenary with the Andes mountains towering on both sides of the Beagle Channel. The boat was pretty basic (not luxury) and the Beagle Channel pretty choppy due to the winds. If you think you might have a problem with sea sickness, take some Dramamine before you get on the boat.
Sorina_M, Feb 2026
Very well organised. The guide was excellent, good knowledge of fauna and geology. Very good communication . Disappointed that I didn’t see any penguins
Sophia_K, Feb 2026
Great trip on the Beagle Channel. Nice balance between informative and letting you process on your own. The crew went to a lot of trouble to point out wildlife.
Charlotte_D, Feb 2026
Beautiful day for this trip. Love the education portion of this tour. Very informative. Open to questions and it was nice to stop the boat and observe the penguins that popped in our route. Unexpected surprise. Seals were great too.
Kelly_W, Feb 2026
This tour is the perfect length for exploring part of the Beagle Channel, and seeing sea lions and cormorants in their element. We also appreciated the opportunity to get off the boat for a brief scenic walk. Christian is a great guide — he is friendly, happy to share his knowledge about the area, and answer any questions you may have. The captain did a great job of getting us everywhere on the itinerary safely, and lingered long enough at each spot for everyone to take photos. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Ushuaia and want to get out on the water.
Christine_A, Feb 2026
Great experience! Juan Pablo was a great guide and gave a lot of information about the local wildlife and was great about answering questions. Also loved the short hike, it was beautiful! The size of the boat was great too, it made for a nice personalized experience.
Michael_M, Feb 2026
Lovely afternoon out in the Beagle Channel. Start and finish times we're spot on, the guide was very knowledgeable and took the opportunity to give some history and current workings of the Channel while sailing out to the lighthouse. Tea and coffee avaible if required. Finished the day off visiting an island to take panoramic views of Ushuaia. Recommend the trip.
LEIFJ_F, Feb 2026
This was a nice treat, a great combo of sea life and fauna. Great views, although the famous lighthouse is a bit of a joke...
john_L, Feb 2026
unfortunately, it rained most of the day, but we did get to see sea lions & cormorants.
The boat used was not adequate for the people to sit comfortable
for such a long ride. I was squished into a corner and could hardly move., a thin cushion on a wooden bench, VERY Uncomfortable! The staff was OK!
RM_R, Jan 2026
The views were exquisite, the guide was very knowledgeable, and the group was small. It was an awesome experience, and well worth repeating!
