Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking

Overview

Available languages

English

Spanish

4 hours

Mobile ticket

We work with small groups of up to 25 passengers in a familiar and friendly environment with the company of professional Spanish and English speaking guides.

The excursions are carried out with the “KAMS and“ TELIENKA ”yachts, twin boats of 15 meters in length, which due to their dimensions allow a maximum approach to the islands allowing preferential sightings.

During our tour we visit Isla Alicia, Isla de Pájaros and Isla de Lobos, where we make very close sightings of the fauna of the Beagle Channel. We know the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse built in 1919, a true emblem of the City of Ushuaia. At the end, we disembark at Bridges Island to go through a path of interpretation of flora and birds, telling them the history of the Yámanas aborigines. Here are the largest anthropogenic Yámanas shells in the region.

It also has a panoramic point from where we can observe the magnificence of the Beagle Channel with the City of Ushuaia in the distance.

This was a great tour. As well as peaceful sailing through the Beagle Channel to see cormorants and sea lions, trekking on one of the tiny islands, and enjoying views of the Channel and Ushuaia, we learnt a lot about the surrounding geography of the area. Our guide was excellent, very friendly and informative, and keen to answer additional questions. We didn’t see any penguins at this time of year (November) - there was a possibility of seeing penguins, but this was not guaranteed - something to note if penguins are your priority! Overall, a lovely afternoon, highly recommended.
Great afternoon activity

We enjoyed this afternoon activity with a guide who was full of information about the local environment and area. We saw sea lions, an elegant seal and many birds including turkey vultures - alas no penguins. The short walk on the island highlighted the different flora. Boat was a good size and we felt very comfortable on board.
A must so trip in Ushuaia

This was an excellent trip. In fact one of the highlights of our three week visit to Patagonia. The guide was really good, very accessible and spoke excellent English. We saw loads of wildlife, sea lions, an elephant seal, penguins and albatrosses. The trip went around the famous lighthouse and the boat was piloted very skilfully to get close to the wildlife. We enjoyed the small walk on the island in the channel. Altogether a trip that is well worth taking if you’re in Ushuaia
Horrible, fear, mechanical failures!

Horrible! The boat engine failed several times. We got the drift several times. Most of the passengers, by getting the drift, got sick and went badly. The smell of diesel, due to the various engine failures, was unbearable! Because of the mechanical failures did not complete the walk. I requested a refund and they said that they were not responsible and that they could not refund me. Being in the drift several times caused a lot of fear and ill-being.
The best experience
