Highlights

Canal Fun & Nature - From our office, or from your hotel, we leave Ushuaia to visit the eastern part of the peninsula. The attractions we will enjoy during the activities we propose will make for a unique experience of the wildest area in the Beagle Channel.
Bahía Brown - This place offers the first glimpse to a very different area when compared with others to the West, be it Ushuaia or the National Park. We are now close to the starting point of our canoeing activity!
Río Lasifashaj - Starting from the river’s mouth, we will go slowly downstream into the Beagle Channel paddling in our very safe and stable canoes (inflatable rafts). This experience is to be lived instead of written about!
Estancia Harberton - After the canoeing activity on the Beagle Channel, we will arrive to Harberton Ranch for a quick look around the main house area in our way to Gable Island.
Acatushun Museum - As an alternative activity to that of the canoeing on the Beagle Channel, you can go with us directly to the main house area at Harberton Ranch. There, you can visit the museum before rejoining the others.
Isla Martillo - Our stop here will add to this full-day active and adventurous tour the opportunity to see the penguins on the beach, from a ver close distance, a few metres away from our boat docked on the beach.
Gable Island - This is the place where you will get to see what’s the end of the world all about. During the next hours we will go for a hike in a pristine landscape, after an excellent lunch cooked on site.

EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING. - We traveled to Ushuaia for the 4th time to do this tour, for me at almost 87 years old, it was now or now. The experience and value it had for me and my wife, Rosa, exceeded what was expected. The kindness and service given by Santiago and Aldana from our first contact by phone from Buenos Aires 2 months before and once in Ushuaia, was unbeatable. During the Tour we received the same quality of service and kindness from Olmo, the main guide, Pablo, the secondary guide who was my guide (because of my age) during the 8K walk on Gable Island, Pato, the driver and chef. the excursion and, Mauri, the canoe manager. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TO THE WHOLE CANAL GROUP.

Best Part of our Trip - I loved everything about this tour. The guides were fun, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The activities were the right pace for us and the kids. The small group size was just right. Their food was great! Gable Island is stunningly beautiful. The penguins were really fun to watch. It was a perfect day and the highlight of our trip to Ushuaia.

Wonderful Eco Adventure Day - This was a terrific trip from start to finish. Pickup was timely, the guides were friendly, informative and helpful and lunch was excellent (and enormous!) The paddling was not too demanding and we were fortunate to have decent weather and to see a great deal of wildlife. Truly a first rate outfit.

Fantastic day out in Ushuaia - It was a great tour. Tamara provided fantastic commentary, views and lunch were beautiful, while canoeing and trekking not strenuous. Together with amazing fellow travellers it was an extremely memorable trip. Highly recommend!

Great Way to Explore Beagle Channel - We booked this tour with my wife. It was a great experience. The guides were very informative and knowledgable. The organization was really good and the guides managed to establish a great connection amongst all of us in the group making it feel like we were all one. The visit to the penguins is really as long as it should be. You do not need more time nor to walk among them in order to enjoy them. Some of the places we visited were really astonishing in terms of natural beauty. Highly recommended!!
