    Great guide, fabulous food and lots of penguins

    Sarah_H, Dec 2025
    Really enjoyed this trip and recommend it for a day when you don't want to be as active (vs a day hiking for example) or want to see the landscape around Ushuaia. The smaller group size is a big plus. We were able to get much closer to the penguins than larger boats. The food for lunch was also fantastic - i recommend choosing the Beagle menu if you like fresh, local seafood cooked to perfection.

    menu if you like fresh, local seafood cooked to perfection. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip and found it to be a great option for a more relaxed day while still taking in the incredible landscapes around Ushuaia. It’s great to know that the small group size made a difference, especially when it came to getting closer to the penguins — that’s one of the key advantages of this experience. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch, and your recommendation of the Beagle menu is spot on for anyone who loves fresh, local seafood. Thank you for the recommendation and for traveling with us. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in Tierra del Fuego!

    On the day we were to go to see the penguins the winds were very strong. Those tours departing from the pier were cancelled as the winds were too strong in making navigation on Beagle Channel too choppy. However our navigation was from Puerto Almanza and we were able to proceed with the trip. At the town we were treated to a delicious local lunch. Sebastian was proficient in making the tour a memorable one for us.

    Thank you very much for your comment Pe, we are glad you had the experience of seeing the penguins.

    Amazing! It was a complete experience, we were able to see snow during summer time and we were given enough time to enojoy it! The food was delicious we were able to go to Isla Martillo see the penguins. It was nice to watch them from the boat, you get real close respecting their space and environment. The whole team were very kind from before the tour, by asking about food preferences, during the tour giving information and time to enjoy each and evey stop. Would really recommend if you want to see the penguins, best choice!
