Overview

Unique experience in the Beagle Channel, one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world. We will navigate the channel, visit the Lobos and Pájaros Islands, where you can observe sea lions, cormorants and other seabirds in their natural habitat. We will make a stop at the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, a historic lighthouse located on an archipelago of the same name, offering a unique view of the region. The highlight of our journey will be a visit to the Martillo Island penguin colony. This is, without a doubt, the most anticipated moment of the tour. Our boat will dock on the island, allowing you to live an incomparable experience: observe the charming Magellanic penguins up close. These friendly animals, known for their curiosity, come within a few meters of visitors, providing a unique opportunity to admire them in their natural environment. This tour is designed for those looking for a nature and adventure experience in Tierra del Fuego.

As promised

Published on Feb, 2025

Exactly as promised. Great weather made it even better. Nice pleasant day on the water and in the sun. We enjoyed ourselves.

An unforgettable experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour. Very well organised company. Clean boat and most importantly the captain did a great job for everyone to see well. Tourists on the boat were kind and gave an opportunity for others to move forward too to see as well. I highly recommend this trip. I believe it was better priced than many of the other ones too. Go see the penguins!

Amazing experience

Published on Sep, 2023

Absolutely fantastic and memorable experience. We had a beautiful day on the water and the penguins were amazing. We deliberately booked a trip that does not allow you off the boat because we did not want to disturb the penguins’ habitat. We were able to get plenty of clear and enjoyable viewing opportunities from the boat. This is a memory that will last a lifetime! We had some serious weather on the way back (which is to be expected) and the crew did an excellent job navigating it. We definitely recommend this journey!

Love the penguins

Published on Jan, 2023

It is the best way to look at all the beautiful things existing in the Beagle Channel. The boat stops for several minutes in each of the points of interest. There is one person explaining history and describing all places. There's a company that takes pictures (extra cost, but not expensive) so you can have great pictures from your travel. The boat is really comfortable. I was there during summer, but it feels really cold because of the wind. Make sure you have a heavy jacket or several layers. You get to see sea lions, birds and penguins!

Awesome boat ride! Cold in the front.

Published on Dec, 2019

I went on this cruise in early December 2019. I saw birds, seals, and best of all, Penguins! We weren't allowed to get on the Penguin island but the boat "landed" on the beach. Everyone rushed to the front of the boat to take pictures, selfies, etc. If you go on this trip, bring maybe three layers for your top, a beanie, and gloves. I was on the front of the boat when it was travelling to penguin island and it was cold BUT I also was able to see a few "swimmers" (penguins, seals). Most of the people were inside the boat. I enjoyed this boat ride, got my passport stamped, met a few travelers as well.
