Rejseplan
Vi begynder krydstogtet med afgang fra byens turisthavn, på vej mod centrum af Beagle-kanalen. Når vi sejler væk, nyder vi den panoramaudsigt over Ushuaia kysten, se de vigtigste bygninger, Maritime Museum (tidligere fængsel), End of the World Museum, det industrielle område, og Mount Olivia og Mount Cinco Hermanos.
Vi sejler sydvest, nærmer os øen Los Lobos, hvor vi fra båden kan nyde synet af havløvere og observere deres permanente habitat i en vidunderlig indstilling.
Fortsætter vores krydstogt, vil vi gå mod Los Pájaros Island, hjemsted for Magellanic Cormorants og Imperial Cormorants, og et primært sted for at spotte havfugle.
Vi fortsætter sejladsen mod Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, i skærgården af samme navn. På disse øer er det muligt at se dele af Monte Cervantes, et skib, der sank i 1930.
Vi krydser Beagle-kanalen nord til syd, og ser Gable Island og Puerto Williams Naval Base (på Navarino Island, Chile).
Når vi kommer til Martillo Island, nærmer vi os stranden og bliver der. Det er fantastisk at se kolonien af magellanske pingviner, som nestede der i løbet af sommeren, nærme sig båden med bemærkelsesværdig nysgerrighed. Du kan se dem svømme under katamaranen og derefter dukke op igen. En fest, der inviterer os til at tage utallige billeder. Et uforglemmeligt øjeblik for hele familien, der vil forblive en mindeværdig oplevelse. Herfra sejler vi tilbage til Tourist Pier og ser Estancias Túnel og Fique undervejs.

This tour slows down and stops to take photos of the birds and lighthouse before arriving at the penguins. Guide narration in English and Spanish which tells all about the Beagle channel. Bar in board for snacks and coffee. The travel time is about 3 hours out and back but lovely scenery to enjoy. Plenty of time to take photos of sea lions and penguins as long as you are happy to squeeze yourself inbetween the selfie takers.
There is a lack of information prior to the trip. Despite the voucher stating that you will be contacted the day before, this will not happen. So it's just a matter of finding out for yourself at the start. The boat trip through the Beagle canal is beautiful where you spot all kinds of animals along the way. However, the stop at the penguins is chaotic, it could be a little better coordinated so that everyone at the front of the boat has time to look and take pictures. Overall the boat trip is long and if you have already seen penguins elsewhere (e.g. Punta Arenas or Antarctica), certainly no added value!
A very pleasant experience. We also enjoyed talking to the couple that shared the table with us. It was beautiful.
When we arrived at the gray line office, we were told we should not take the tour as it would not get us back to the ship on time. Very disappointed, we took instead a shorter tour of the bagel channel and did not see any penguins. This was a much cheaper excursion and we are entitled to a refund.
I encountered a very rude staff member at the reception of Tolkeyen. She had a lot of attitude when I tried to show my email booking confirmation and refused to look at it or accept my booking reference number. Instead, she insisted on an “actual voucher,” which is not provided when booking through TripAdvisor. Only after comments from other staff members did she finally check the system and find my name. Very poor effort and unprofessional behavior from the worker. The rest of the trip was fairly average. There were far too many people crowding and jostling for position when trying to take photos, which took away from the experience. Overall, it felt overpriced, and there are probably better options available.
Great experience, boat starts from a very convenient location opposite hotel albatross. On Tim departure, great staff and good drinks on the boat. They get within 3 meters of the penguins
Beautiful experience with incredible views of penguins, lighthouse, cormorants and sea lions!
The boat circled POI well and theOA kept us up to date, not always clear out on deck. The photographers were discreet but handy.
Superb. Easy, well-staffed and organized tour of the Beagle Channel. Sea lions. More birds than you can count. Views that make every single person NOT on the trip jealous. This is another MUST DO from Ushuaia. Well organized. Check-in, get a badge/lanyard, board a boat, ENJOY. That simple. Boat is large, stable, and well-equipped. Views are great from windows ALL around and the decks. Coffee, water, snacks, etc are all available at extra cost (a little pricey, but acceptable). Bathrooms onboard are available and clean. Crew and guides are super knowledgeable of history, geography, animals, etc... and happy to answer questions. This is a SUPERB way to spend 3/4 of a day in Ushuaia and includes a decent chance at seeing a penguin, whale, or flare bird species... and an ABSOLUTELY sure chance of seeing AMAZING panoramic views of Patagonia. Don't hesitate... BOOK this NOW.
Unfortunately, the tour offered was not carried out in this way, but this was not announced to us. The company given as the meeting point, Rumbo sur, stated that they were not responsible and could not help, that we would have to book again and see how we could get our money back. A very nice lady from the uninvolved company Terramar spoke to the agency on the phone and then referred us to the company Tolkeyen, which offers a shorter trip for the agency. We didn't have to pay extra for it, but we were still given the significantly higher amount paid in advance not refunded. Conclusion: do not book online but directly on site.
