Nice walk, excellent guide - There are two excursions the short one that goes to the Lighthouse (3Hs) and the long one that goes to the penguin (5Hs), We took the short one, the comfortable modern catamaran, but without WIFI, The walk is interesting because the guide is telling about what we see and about the history of the area, we had a quiet day to navigate therefore it was possible to disfunct It is interesting to transit the Beagle Canal, so it means as a geographical feature and as a story Recommended

A Trip to the Islands - The catamaran is very large and it takes a bit of time to load everyone. Once on our way, it was easy to move about and go out on the deck to take photos. The islands and the lighthouse were perfect for photos of it and the sea lions. Unfortunately we did get to the islands with the penguins because the boat broke down. Luckily the crew as able to restore it enough to get us back to port. We had booked this with Tierra del Fuego Aventuras so we were able to apply the cost of this tour to Flavors of the Beagle which took us out to the islands with the penguins. The only reason for less than 5 stars is because of the break down and the very large boat. For many I think this would be perfect especially since food and drinks are available on board.

crowded but worth it - we took this off a cruise ship [who had arranged it]. the catamaran was very crowded, seemed not everyone had a seat. but once we got underway and started to see the wonders of the area it became worth while. they took the ship close to the lighthouse @ the end of the world, the to sea lion island & bird island. they make sure that either side of the ship gets to see everything. would heartily recommend this tour for anyone!!

Great way to spend a few hours! - Unfortunately, we missed the longer tour that goes to an island with penguins. The catamaran is large, modern, clean & comfortable. The staff were friendly. The scenery is breathtaking. The short 15min. "hike" they take you on is nice but hard to enjoy with so many people; akin to a herd of cattle. The best part is the lighthouse & sea lion island; best sea lion viewing on our 2 week cruise! If you've already seen penguins; the shorter cruise is great!

Best way to have an overview - The catamaran is the best way to have an overview of the outskirts and history of Ushuaia. The long boat ride takes 5:30 hours and you'll see sea lions, the lighthouse, the Beagle channel and of course... Penguins! Best advice I could give: come with waterproof clothes and shoes, and prepare for the cold wind!
