Navigate through the Beagle Channel: Seal, Bird & Penguin Islands

The cruise departs from Ushuaia’s Tourist Pier, offering panoramic views of the coast, including landmarks like the Maritime Museum and Mount Olivia. Sailing southwest, we approach Los Lobos Island to observe sea lions, then continue to Los Pájaros Island, home to Magellanic and Imperial cormorants. We sail on to the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse and see remains of the Monte Cervantes shipwreck. Crossing the Beagle Channel, we view Gable Island and Puerto Williams before reaching Martillo Island, where we observe curious Magellanic penguins swimming and nesting. After this unforgettable encounter, we return to Ushuaia, passing Estancias Túnel and Fique.

We begin the cruise departing from the city's Tourist Pier, heading for the center of the Beagle Channel. As we sail away, we enjoy the panoramic view of the Ushuaia coast, seeing the most important buildings, the Maritime Museum (former prison), the End of the World Museum, the industrial area, and Mount Olivia and Mount Cinco Hermanos.

We sail southwest, approaching Los Lobos Island, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the sight of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat in a wonderful setting.

Continuing our cruise, we will head toward Los Pájaros Island, home to Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants, and a prime spot for spotting marine birds.

We continue sailing toward Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name. On these islets, it's possible to see parts of the Monte Cervantes, a ship that sank in 1930.

Crossing the Beagle Channel north to south, we'll see Gable Island and the Puerto Williams Naval Base (located on Navarino Island, Chile).

Upon reaching Martillo Island, we approach the beach and stay there. It's amazing to watch the colony of Magellanic penguins, which nest there during the summer, approach the boat with remarkable curiosity. You can see them swim under the catamaran and then emerge again. A celebration that invites us to take countless photographs. An unforgettable moment for the entire family that will remain a memorable experience. From here, we sail back to the Tourist Pier, seeing Estancias Túnel and Fique along the way.
