Wonderful small group tour great guides!
The guys were great and this was a great e Perone d on the beagle channel. We wanted a small boat, not having to fight through crowds to take pictures on the larger catamarans. We took awesome pictures of the lighthouse, seals. birds and scenery without obstruction. Our small boat was able to get closeup to rocks . Walking on the island was great. Lots of fun! Great tour you won’t regret.

Disappointing cruise!
Although the Beagle channel cruise was a scenic and refreshing one, the captain of the boat just maneuvered the boat without saying much about anything regarding history, fauna etc. He was just looking for whales for us to see. That was it! He did not even want to entertain our questions. So disappointing!

We really appreciate you taking the time to write to us. It’s wonderful that you found the cruise scenic, but I’m genuinely sorry that the service felt a bit silent! Sometimes our captains get 'whale vision' because they are so eager to show off the incredible fauna of the channel, but that should never come at the expense of answering your questions or sharing our local history. I apologize that you felt brushed off—that is certainly not the hospitality we strive for. We’ll be working with our team to make sure the stories of the channel are told just as clearly as the wildlife is seen. Best regards, Yate Tango staff.

Fantastic Mini Cruise
Francisco and Sebatian were great. They were experienced and very patient. The mini cruise lasted almost four hours. Francisco was kind enough to show us the only whale we sighted. It was a great and memorable cruise. By the way, Francisco was chasing after the football on the straits. (Can you see the football?)

The guides were not...
The guides were not fluent in English so very little information was provided en route. Thankfully the weather was in our favour as there was not enough seats inside for 12 people. Tea/coffee was not offered until 30 mins before tour completed & then it was during rough waters!! The craft beer sampling was one small beer offered 2.5hrs after tour started. Despite negative comments the 2 man crew were polite & friendly trying to add humour in their very limited English. Fellow passengers like us overlooked the details listed which were supposed to be included. Pleased we did the trip, choosing it for everything it offered, but felt it was oversold to us .

Highly enjoyable and informative trip
Our trip was very well organised and safe as well as being extremely enjoyable. We had a very pleasant 3.5 hour trip with a friendly and helpful crew. We were the only English speakers of the capacity 12 guests and they made a good effort to translate for us. Definitely worth going on a smaller boat than some of the much larger other options.

The tour takes you...
The tour takes you through the Beagle Channel and to the iconic lighthouse with sea lions, with stops at an island to view birds on the way, and an island for a walkabout with views on the way back. You'll see birds throughout, and we even saw a penguin en route. Beautiful views, guides did a great job. The smaller boat size allows a better view. The drinks on board were an added bonus.
