Connecting with nature - This is a great way to see penguins and sea lions in the wild. The catamaran was packed (around 100 people) and throughout the journey the was a guide (Adriana) who was fluent in Spanish and English, explaining about the wildlife and the area that we were sailing through. If you pay attention during the ride you may be able to see much more animals. I got lucky and saw - whales and groups of dolphins jumping out of the water

Unmissable walk - Very nice walk not to get lost if you travel to Ushuaia . Hire you directly with the Tolkayen agency as most of the tourism agencies where you hire you refer you to two or three wholesale agencies including Tolkayen which has its own catamaran. The bar that operates in the same had told me that it had high prices which is not so and for example a double coffee was $5,000. It is essential to reach the island of penguins where when going in March there were not so many but added to the cormorants (similar to penguins that are distinguished by not having the beak and orange legs , and also by not having the fins) together, seemed of a significant and shocking amount . Also to highlight that you start seeing whales through the Beagle Channel. The only thing to criticize is that you didn't hear anything the guide was talking about.

Walk to the penguin island without getting off the boat - The tour is beautiful, the view wonderful, the boat very comfortable and stable. Our pilot was very careful in staying long enough around the islands where we can see the animals and photograph. I'm sorry I bought the wrong package, thinking we could go down on Martillo Island, but we just stood by to photograph and film the penguins.

Unforgettable - The tour by the penguin was simply exciting and unforgettable. Seeing the penguins so close in their natural habitat is a unique experience. Everything was very well organized, with clear explanations during the journey and total respect for the animals. The surrounding landscapes are beautiful and make the tour even more special. Undoubtedly one of the highlights of a trip to Ushuaia and an experience worth every second.

Good Experience Overall - The boat ride was great, especially since we went on a day with nice weather and the guide pointed out key sights on both sides of the boat. The boat itself was comfortable. The only issue was the that the toilets ran out of paper, so make sure to bring some of your own. Seeing the penguins was very cool, but the guide could have been a bit clearer with her description. For example, there were two types of penguins on the island. She mentioned this but wasn't clear about where to see the second type of penguin. Perhaps she did say something and I missed it, but this could have been clearer. I recommend this activity when traveling to Ushuaia. It's a lot of travel on the water, but it was a comfortable experience both inside and outside of the boat.

What you see is not what it seems - Good navigation. When I arrived at the pier, they wouldn't confirm the online reservation. I felt very uncomfortable.
The catamaran said Southbound, not Tolkeyen which was the contracted company.
It was complete so we were piled up in relation to space.
I wouldn't hire him again.
