Katamarantur genom Beagle Channel och pingviner i Isla Martillo

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for joining the navigation through the Beagle Channel with the visit to Isla Martillo. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the audio. The navigation and onboard commentary are provided directly by the navigation company that operates the catamaran, which is an independent service. We will make sure to share your comment with them, as feedback from travelers is always helpful. We hope you were still able to enjoy the unique experience of sailing through the Beagle Channel and observing the wildlife of this remarkable region. Thank you for taking the time to share your review. Best regards, Mara.

Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing practical tips for future travelers. We’re glad you found the navigation comfortable and enjoyed the morning on the Beagle Channel. Regarding Isla Martillo, we would like to clarify that this specific tour does not include disembarkation or walking among the penguins. At no point in the product description or itinerary is a penguin walk mentioned. On the contrary, the itinerary clearly states that the boat approaches the beach where they nest — “We will be with the boat directly on the beach where they nest, without disturbing them.” The navigation described here is designed as a wildlife observation experience from the boat, respecting environmental regulations and minimizing disturbance to the colony. We appreciate your feedback and understand how expectations can sometimes differ, especially when multiple penguin experiences exist in Ushuaia. We hope you still enjoyed the unique opportunity to observe them in their natural environment. Warm regards, Mara.

Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por tomarte el tiempo de detallar tanto los aspectos positivos como los puntos a mejorar. Nos alegra saber que el proceso de contratación y reserva con Daniela haya sido claro y sencillo, y que el servicio haya respetado los horarios previstos. También valoramos que destaques la comodidad de la embarcación y los precios a bordo, aspectos que suelen ser importantes durante la navegación. En relación con los puntos que mencionás para mejorar, es importante aclarar que la navegación por el Canal Beagle y la organización a bordo dependen de un operador náutico independiente, por lo que tanto el estado de los baños como la dinámica del servicio fotográfico no están bajo nuestro control directo. Aun así, tomamos tu comentario con seriedad y lo transmitimos, ya que entendemos lo incómodo que puede resultar no poder disfrutar plenamente de las vistas debido a estas situaciones. Agradecemos nuevamente tu devolución y esperamos que, más allá de estos inconvenientes, te lleves lindos recuerdos de la navegación por el Canal Beagle y de la visita a Isla Martillo, uno de los paisajes más emblemáticos del Fin del Mundo. Saludos! Mara.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to know that you found the crew professional, courteous, and friendly — that’s something consistently highlighted on this navigation. Regarding Isla Martillo, we’d like to clarify that the excursion does not include disembarkation on the island. For conservation reasons, penguin visits are carried out exclusively from the vessel, which approaches the shoreline and navigates slowly around the island so all passengers can observe and photograph the penguins in their natural habitat. This is also clearly stated in the tour description, where it is specified that the experience takes place from the boat, without landing on the island. The onboard photography service you mention is an optional service offered during the navigation and is managed directly on board. While it may give access to certain moments or positions, the vessel continuously changes orientation during the stop so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the views. We hope that, beyond this aspect, the chance to see penguins up close in one of the southernmost corners of the world was a memorable part of your visit to Ushuaia. Best regards, Mara.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re glad to know that seeing the penguins at Isla Martillo was a highlight for you — observing them in their natural habitat is truly one of the most memorable moments of this navigation. Regarding the points you mention about the photographers on board, it’s important to clarify that the navigation itself is an independent service operated by a third party. While we manage the reservation, the onboard organization — including optional photography services — is handled directly by the navigation operator. These photo services are optional and intended for passengers who wish to purchase a professional souvenir, but they should not interfere with the overall experience. That said, we understand how situations like the one you describe can feel uncomfortable, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We will pass this feedback along to the operator so they are aware of how this was perceived. We also appreciate you highlighting the comfort and cleanliness of the boat, as well as the importance of dressing warmly — the cold and wind are very much part of the authentic Ushuaia experience. We hope that, overall, the chance to see the penguins and navigate the Beagle Channel remains a special memory from your visit to the southernmost city in the world. Kind regards, Mara

Grazie per aver condiviso una descrizione così completa e sentita della navigazione. La possibilità di muoversi liberamente a bordo, scegliere il proprio spazio e poi vivere la navigazione dai ponti esterni è proprio parte dell’esperienza: sentire il freddo, il vento y el silenzio del Canal Beagle rende tutto più autentico. Il percorso tra l’isola dei cormorani, i leoni marini, il faro e infine la pingüinera di Isla Martillo è uno di quei momenti che restano impressi, soprattutto quando la barca può avvicinarsi così tanto da permettere un’osservazione rispettosa e privilegiata. I tempi di permanenza frente all’isola sono pensati proprio per questo: che tutti possano guardare, fotografare e semplicemente fermarsi a osservare i pinguini nel loro ambiente naturale, senza fretta. È una di quelle esperienze che, come dici bene, completano davvero un viaggio fino alla fine del mondo. Noi siamo di qui, conosciamo questo mare e queste isole, e ogni uscita è anche un modo per condividere ciò che rende Ushuaia così speciale. Ci fa piacere sapere che la navigazione ti abbia trasmesso tutta questa emozione. Un caro saluto dal Fin del Mundo, Mara.

At Info De Ushuaia®, with over 20 years of experience, we love hearing that our visitors consider this trip "so worth it." It truly is one of the best ways to discover the nature of the region.

Thank you for taking the time to share your comment and for describing your experience in such detail. The Beagle Channel navigation and the visit to the penguin colony on Martillo Island are among Ushuaia’s most iconic excursions, and we’re glad to know that overall the outing was good. That said, we understand that the moments prior to boarding can feel confusing if the information doesn’t come across as clearly as expected. As you mentioned, the process involves going to a specific kiosk at the tourist port to validate the reservation and then heading to the corresponding pier to board the catamaran. In this case, the details regarding the meeting point, the port kiosk, and the validation procedure were sent in advance through the platform’s internal messaging system, with the intention of making this first step easier. Even so, your feedback is very valuable to us. It highlights that, beyond providing the information, there is always room to make it clearer and more intuitive—especially in a busy environment like the port. We hope that, once past the initial boarding process, you were able to fully enjoy the Beagle Channel navigation and the visit to the penguin colony on Martillo Island, a truly unique experience in Ushuaia and at the End of the World. Kind regards, Mara
