Detailed Description
After picking you up at your hotel in the center of Ushuaia, we head towards the Tourist Pier of the city to begin the navigation. As we set out toward the Beagle Channel, we can enjoy the panoramic view of the Ushuaia coast, overlooking the most important buildings: Maritime Museum and End of the World Museum.
Take in the scenery, including the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos Mountains. Passing the Isla de los Lobos, observe the sea lions relaxing on the rocks. Then, we continue to the island of the birds, habitat of Magellanic and Imperial Cormorants, and privileged sector to spot marine birds. The furthest point of the navigation is the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name. On these islets it is possible to observe part of the Monte Cervantes, a ship that was shipwrecked in 1930. Other sights include Estancia Remolino, Isla Grande, and the Puerto Williams Naval Base.
Once you reach Martillo Island, spend some time viewing and photographing the penguins while listening to your guide's narrative about their biology and behavior.
After returning to the port, we will take you back to your hotel in the center of Ushuaia.
