What To Expect

Itinerary

Discover the Wonders of the Beagle Channel on an Unforgettable Catamaran Adventure!

Embark on a breathtaking journey departing from the Tourist Dock of Ushuaia, where you’ll cruise through the heart of the iconic Beagle Channel. As we set sail, take in panoramic views of Ushuaia’s stunning coastline, featuring legendary landmarks like the Maritime Museum (the old prison), the Museum of the End of the World, the bustling industrial area, and the majestic Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains.

Our adventure continues southwest towards Los Lobos Island, home to lively sea lion colonies basking in their natural habitat—an incredible sight right from the boat.

Next, we glide toward Isla de Los Pájaros, a sanctuary for Magellanic and Imperial Cormorants, where you’ll witness abundant marine birdlife in a pristine setting.

Marvel at the famous Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse nestled among the islets, a historic beacon near the shipwreck remains of Monte Cervantes from 1930. Our catamaran will pause and circle at key spots to ensure every passenger captures stunning photos.

Sailing along the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego’s Big Island, we’ll glimpse the stranded Monte Sarmiento ship near Estancia Remolino, then cross the Beagle Channel, enjoying views of Gable Island and the Puerto Williams Naval Base on Chile’s Navarino Island.

The highlight awaits at Martillo Island, where you’ll get up close to playful colonies of Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins! Watch as these charming creatures curiously approach, swim beneath our boat, and put on a delightful show—an unforgettable photo opportunity!

As we return to Ushuaia’s dock, enjoy scenic views of Túnel and Fique Estancias, wrapping up a magical day exploring one of the world’s most extraordinary waterways.
