A comprehensive tour of Ushuaia by sea - This is one of the must-dos in Ushuaia, if you want to get to know the geography of the marine area and see wildlife. We did the NAVEGACIÓN POR EL CANAL BEAGLE tour, which is a multi-hour tour by boat. We got to see several islands, one with sea lions, one populated by cormorants, one with a lighthouse, and a serenely situated one with subarctic flora that we got to do a mini-trek on (20-30 minutes). In between stops, we traversed the water by boat, which is perfectly fine, albeit a bit boring, but the guide plied us with information and history as well as tea, to keep us entertained. Recommended tour.

Fantastic tour, highly recommend - Lu was an amazing guide and gave an informative, fun tour. She split in the group into Spanish speakers and English speakers so we all were able to understand the information and could chat and walk around the boat when it wasn't our turn. The tour was great, the views are incredible and we had a wonderful time. Bring warm clothes!

Must do in Ushuaia - Informative cruise on the Beagel Channel. Even if we did not reach the lighthouse we saw a colony of sea lions and cormorans and did a shorl hike on an island. The guide explained us about the history of the channel, but also about the fauna on the islands. The trip is a must do when visiting Ushuaia.

Great - The tour was spectacular. The boat is for small groups and offers hot drinks, which is a plus.
We paid 50,000 pesos for the tour, buying directly at the counter in the city and the day before. He left promptly at 10 am and the guide's explanation was great! All the staff were super attentive, I highly recommend them.

Very good experience!! - The short navigation through the canal is spectacular. The catamarans "search" for the whales and are attentive so that we can all see them. We meet dolphins and it is amazing how they swim next to the boat. We also saw sea lions, big and small, on the rocks of the islands and playing in the water. Everything wonderful. The boat is good, clean, on schedule. We went on the Ezequiel catamaran.

Relax, enjoy - Very nice experience. Very good guide. The good thing is that since there are not so many people you can enjoy it more peacefully. The guide spoke in Spanish and then in Spanish, without the need for microphones. That for me made the walk a much more relaxed experience, where we could appreciate the landscapes without too much noise in the background. As the boat is smaller, you can get closer to the animals. Super recommended experience.

Sailing is necessary! - It was a windy day, so our agency, which had a small boat and couldn't sail, got us seats on another, larger competitor's boat. They were all very friendly and helpful. The tour was really fun. We saw sea lions and some birds that I don't know the name of, but they're cute. We disembarked on an islet to photograph and learn about the history of that region. We really enjoyed it and recommend this tour.

Great tour, beautiful views, amazing wildlife! - This tour was really great. We had a wonderful guide and the perfect weather to explore the Beagle Channel. We saw so many sea lions, birds, and DOLPHINS it was amazing! We took the afternoon tour, and our minitrekking was perfectly timed to be right before sunset. The view was beautiful. Loved it!
