Beagle Channel Navigation on Yacht

Ushuaia, Argentina
  • 4 hours (approx.)

Overview

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.

  • Visit the lighthouse at the end of the world

Scenic beauty plus animals !!!

Irving_Z, Apr 2024
Getting close to the animals. They gave us ample time to take pictures. The island hike was very scenic.

A lot of time cruising rather than stops.

Kathryn_M, Feb 2024
There is a LOT of time spent going from one place to another. Photographing was not great and I had hoped to spend more time seeing the animals. The staff was great.

Thank you

No penguins after told there would be

Sheryl_H, Feb 2024
Long boring. We emailed to confirm ahead that there were penguins on this trip and were told that yes we would see penguins. When we got on the boat we were told that there were no penguins on this trip. We travelled a long way to see penguins and instead sat on a boat for 4 hours to see things that we could see from our cruise ship.

hola lamento que tu experiencia no haya sido buena, en el descriptivo del tour no esta descripto que vas a ver pinguinos. Solo lobos marinos y cormoranes. la navegacion para ver pinguinos lleva mucho mas horas de excursion saludos cristina

Canceled

Notified of 1 hour time change the evening before. Rushed to get to the meeting point only to find it closed. Were told the tour had been changed to another boat because of the weather and finally told that it had been cancelled. When finally got internet we had received an Email advising of the cancelation. Fortunately we were able to book a tour on another boat at the dock.

Beagle Channel Tour

WILLIAM_P, Feb 2024
We really enjoyed seeing and taking pictures of the seals and sea birds on their shared island. We also enjoyed walking on the small Bridges Island. It was really a lovely little spot.

Great boat ride in Ushuaia

Julie_B, Jan 2024
The elephant seal and bird were great The scenery is spectacular The guide was informative Overall a great day

Great few hours in Ushuaia.

Brad_H, Jan 2024
Great value 4 hours around Beagle Channel seeing seabirds, seals and a penguin! Good communication beforehand and location right next to cruise port. Friendly guide in Lucas. Only downside was lack of health and safety. Boarding challenging for older and less able and no life jackets offered/ available

Even better than the advertizement

Giulia_C, Jan 2024
The tour was intimate (a dozen people), really making enjoy every picture stop. Derlis and Lucas have been amazing with their explanations.

Awesome

Paul_S, Mar 2023

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you María

Great excursion

DianeBurnett, Feb 2023

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thsnk you

Gilligan’s Island

maroc_h, Dec 2022
If I didn’t take the excursion, I would have probably been resting in my room like the sea wolves. The captain, crew and organizers were outstanding. If you get bored just imagine that you are getting ready to shipwreck on Gilligan’s Island with the people that you are with. With all seriousness it was very informative, relaxing and enjoyable. Very glad that I did it.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

thank you for sharing your experience best regards cristina

A trip not to be missed

Malcolm_S, Feb 2020
very professional-everything was straightforward.Guide was amazing very informative,boat a perfect size for a smaller group.The weather was spectacular and we saw many sights from the natural landscape to Sea Lions,penguins,Albatross etc.A gentle stress free trip,plenty of time just slowly cruising and then a wonderful walk on a small island-well worth doing.The views were stunning.Would highly recommend this smaller boat trip for either a morning or afternoon .

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Guide très sympathique. ...

DANIEL_P, Dec 2023
Guide très sympathique. Nous avions réservé pour 5 heures de navigation avec un snack. En réalité 4 h de navigation et pas de snack, seulement un thé. Nous avons l'impression d'avoir été mis dans un groupe qui ne correspondait pas à ce que nous avions reserve Très belle balade sur le canal..

Response from Host, Dec 2023

GRACIAS, e tour es de 4 horas asi esta establecido, si damos te cafe o chocolate con una cookies

Nos cambiaron la excursión para la tarde. Embarcación vieja y el recorrido pobre en cuanto a los sitios visitados.

Graciela_C, Oct 2022
Muy pobre la excursión. No se visito la isla donde están los lobos marinos. Solo se pudieron ver algunos,que estaban donde se encuentra el faro. una perdida de dinero y tiempo en una embarcación vieja

Response from Host, Nov 2022

la excursion es la misma que se hace todos los dias, es una embarcacion pequeña, hay 2 embarcaciones y una entro en reparacion ese mismo dia por la manana , por lo tanto ofrecimos cambiarlos , el recoccrido es igual en todos los casos, se hace todos los dias, los lobos se van corriendo, se ven todo el año
