Very nice. - It was lovely to be able to meet ushuaia and its natural beauties, on the tour we could observe the sea lions and penguins from the boat, I loved it!! I know that others take the tour with the descent to where the penguins are, I find it very offensive and aggressive to get in the way of these little animals... by far it takes more care! Thanks to the agency

Very nice experience - It is a very nice experience to reach the end of the world and be able to go on the boat to watch the sea lions, we loved it. Too bad we didn't make it to penguin time. It'll be next.

interesting tour! - We were able to do this tour on the catamaran, I suggest you go very warm, because it really is cold! We visited the wolf island, where we were able to observe them, and unfortunately, we were left wanting to see the penguins, but it was not the time!!

Good walk! To improve communication - The walk to the island of penguins, the beagle channel, the boat was very good, the pass very nice. I found the communication and the beginning of the tour a little disorganized. The rest, all right.

Minerva Antarctica cruse - Beautiful trip to Antarctica trip thru 2025/2026. I higly recommend. The Minerva has almost the same number of crew as passengers 👏👏👏. The crew was fantastic . The captain is funny person with own personality. Except the manager of dinner/restaurant staff. This person should be managing basement or engine staff. If so. 🙄

An unexpected disappointment - The nature is really great. The sea lions are so amazing. This is where the positive features of this trip end. Unfortunately our trip did not start at 14:00 as it was announced, but after 15:00. Duration of the tour also does not correspond to the description, instead of 5 hours we sailed only 3, taking into account the time of boarding and disembarkation. The ship turned out to be overloaded with people. As I said before, the travel time was shortened, but we didn't visit Pingüinera Island because according to the guide we didn't have time for that. I am glad I experienced the nature of Ushuaia, but I sincerely regret taking advantage of this tour

Bad service - Lousy service, are not clear in arrival instructions and kept us waiting for no reason. They blame the intermediary agency, and for the cost we expected better care.

Beware total rip off - This tour never existed . We arrived at the tour operators tour at 1pm for a 2pm start to be advised no tour starting at that time and the tour to see penguins was 6 hours not 4 do impossible to get back on board our ship in time. A tour was offered for 4 am but again to late. We were offered a trip at 3 which hoe's to the island shown in the picture but there are no Pengiuns there at this time of year. We got on the boat by 3 but as it had not moved by 3.30 we didn't risk going so got off. Our request for a refund was rejected so my advice is don't trust or book this trip as it doesn't exist
