Very nice excursion. Very well explained by the guide. We had the possibility to see whales during the course of the trip. Schedules were fulfilled
gracias
A really enjoyable trip into the Beagle Channel with plenty of space on board — the boat wasn’t crammed full at all, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. There were lots of seats and good availability, and even though they had a captive audience the food and drink were very reasonably priced. The route was well chosen, with thoughtful stops on an island, and to see ssea‑lions and the lighthouse, and plenty of time to get our own photos. At the end there was an up‑sell of professional photos, but it wasn’t pushy. The photographers had clearly put real effort into capturing guests with great backgrounds, and the price was fair — we were happy to buy them for the memories. A smooth, good‑value outing and one we’d definitely recommend
thnak you for sharing it
Great experience in a comfy boat with cafeteria. Placid waters, postal views, sea lions and a light house. Just relax in a wonderful voyage thru great views and places. You can take pictures in every place of the boat. I liked it!
thank you
Lovely experience. Very comfortable catamarans. It's a pretty quiet walk, at least on the dates we made them. We reached the lighthouse of the end of the world and the island of penguins. Beautiful.
muchas gracias
Good service, being able to take breathtaking photos. The trip took half an hour longer than was said! Nice coffee and friendly staff.
Thank you
Wonderful! It is 3-4 hours navigating the Beagle Canal in different landscapes. It is one of the most iconic tours of Ushuaia.

We took the catamaran to the southernmost lighthouse through the Beagle Channel. We saw catamarans and sea lions. It was OK, but I have to say we were higher up in Patagonian already on a few boat trips and had different experiences than this.
It is a fun experience on a smaller boat and the guides try to make the explanation intimate / small. Which is nice. Trip of 3.5 hours is also sufficient for sailing to the lighthouse and back. Imagine nothing of drinking. Little instant coffee and cocoa. No big deal. Not sure if this is worth 85€ pp. That is up to everyone to judge personally. We thought it was at the price.
Nice navigation. I recommend it. Remember to check the time of your visit to see if you can also combine it with watching penguins - the longer navigation.
gracias
We had good weather and no Wind and this helps a lot. Pllus we managed to see the penguins. Perfect organization and schedule
thankyou
