Very crowded on...

Nancy_L, Feb 2026

Very crowded on catamaran. Landscaping is scenic but a little boring. Expected to see more wildlife than birds.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We’re sorry to hear that the catamaran felt crowded and that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. During high season, boats can operate at full capacity, but we always aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable journey. Wildlife sightings in the Beagle Channel can vary depending on weather and natural conditions. While birds are very common, sea lions and other marine life are sometimes seen along the route, though sightings can never be guaranteed. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving our services.

Ushuaia Beagle Channel trip

Anthony_M, Feb 2026

Not as interesting as I thought it would be, for me a little oversold. Slow boarding and not sure why, the line kept stopping and starting. Guide talks were mainly in Spanish with a cut-down version in English. The 'walk' is a 100m to a sign for the town name. We didn't really get to do the Beagle Channel, just a small part of it, I thought we would have gone around the coastline further. Got to see the sealions from the boat though. Boat size was good with comfy seats and big windows and lots of outside space too.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations and appreciate your comments regarding boarding, language balance, and the route. We’re glad you enjoyed the boat and seeing the sea lions. Your feedback has been shared with our team to help us improve.

Noemi_F, Jan 2026

It's a big ship, nothing spectacular but if you wanna chill on a boat it's a nice programme. There is no real trekking, it's a 10 metres walk. The provider pushes people out who don't pay for the photos the professional photographers do on the boat. We saw penguins from far and sealions too.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments and are sorry if the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Your observations help us continue working with our providers to improve the service and set clearer expectations for future travelers.

Boat trip

Simon_F, Oct 2025

On a beautiful calm day it was a great introduction to the landscape as my first holiday activity. The island visit was just a short path out and back but taking a moment on the beach was nice.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for choosing to travel with us. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had a great time.

Great trip even in bad weather

loisdomanico, Mar 2024

We were able to see lots of animals from sea lions, penguins, cormorants, and even some whales. The boat was comfortable and even made one stop to get off and explore an island.

Much depends on the...

Marco_M, Feb 2026

Much depends on the weather conditions, if the sea is rough it can be annoying. The views and sights of the animals repay the possible discomfort.

Grazie per il suo commento! È vero, le condizioni meteo possono influenzare la navigazione, ma siamo felici che i panorami e l’incontro con la fauna abbiano compensato qualsiasi possibile disagio. Speriamo di rivederla presto!
