Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking
Description
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 trip was absolutely stunning. One of the best trips I have ever made (and I did a lot) in terms of action, hospitality and kindness of the crew. They are really flexible and amend the route to the convenience of the participants if needed. For example I spotted some whales a few hours before the trip and asked if there is a way to see them, which resulted in an entirely change of the route, so that we did go to that spot first (and saw the whales :). Captain and crew were totally kind and spoke good English. All in all an absolute recommendation.
I had the most amazing time. The crew were very friendly and our main guide spoke good English. He showed us pictures of the local wildlife and was very friendly. We got some great photos and up close and personal with the sea lions and lighthouse. Beautiful view of the city on our mini trek. Very reasonably priced, and there were even hot drinks. I wouldn't change a thing!
Excellent experience, 1000 times better to go on this smaller boat with the guide sharing much more closely. Jainnen, our guide, made an effort to explain each species and why each one is in a specific area. Super recommended experience. We left in the rain and still had an unforgettable sunset!
Magnificent tour. We walked on Bridge Island , sailed to the End of the World Lighthouse , saw birds , sea lions and whales . The Juan Pablo guide was excellent, explaining every detail of the places and clarifying each location on the map. A delicious hot chocolate was served. I recommend the walk.
We have seen a penguin and whales on top of the seals. Great experience and the guide managed to teach us a lot.
Simply wonderful! And it was very enjoyable and a great adventure… Highly recommended. The boat ride was very fun.
This tour through the Beagle Channel was absolutely extraordinary. We saw six whales, a bunch of sea lions, and even a few penguins, which is rare at this time of year! The weather made the experience even more enjoyable, as the sea was practically flat the entire time. When we spotted the whales, the captain quietly followed them so we could see them up close — a thoughtful touch that made the encounter unforgettable. The tour was very informative, and the trekking portion was beautiful too. This was easily the highlight of my trip. Highly recommend!
Seeing the sea lions up close was already a highlight, but the real bonus was spotting whales along the way back. It was the perfect end to an incredible day.
An excellent experience. The tour was conducted on a small vessel, with very good information provided by the guide throughout the journey. We had the opportunity to spot whales very close to us, which made the experience even more rewarding.
This tour is the best. Small and cozy boat. Our guide Luciana is and was amazing, very lively and informative. Also great crew on the boat. Really recommending this trip. Thank you
