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.

We did in winter so we did not see penguins, we saw only the sea lions, the boat and comfortable with bathroom and food on board, the trilingual guide explained everything very well, the walk is quite short. We went to the lighthouse and came back
I went on the 15h tour in July and it was the best choice I made! The guide was very dear and showed us many maps to explain the geography of Ushuaia and the islands. Going in the hour of 15h allowed us to return seeing the sunset, which was a wonderful plus. The fact that the boat was smaller was also very good, because so it was more comfortable to hear the explanations. We were lucky, we even saw penguins swimming in the canal!
Great trip in a medium size boat with no many people which makes everything much better, the tour person was very knowledgeable and friendly and the stop on one of the islands to take pictures was really good.
We saw such breathtaking scenery and so many animals. The guide had the perfect blend of leaving us alone to enjoy and breaking in to teach us about what we were seeing. The trip felt exactly the right length. The boat was just the right size and we loved being able to move inside and outside at will to see everything. So glad we chose this tour! We saw an Andean condor and a humpback whale! An extra touch was the guide provided books for us to look up more information about the animals or plants, even the “fingerprint” tails of the whales we saw.
This was the highlight of our time in Ushuaia! We were lucky to have excellent weather, and an excellent guide. Cristian provided a lot of interesting information, and our boat captain and crew did a great job. Highly recommend, maybe you'll be lucky and see a whale like we did!
This was my second time with these folks and it didn't disappoint. Very professionally done and great guides. I would even do it again.
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.
