Description

The Penguin Cruise is one of the most classic and exciting experiences in Ushuaia. The journey begins at the Port of Ushuaia, from where we depart on a modern catamaran to explore the legendary Beagle Channel. Right from the start, the view of 'Bahía Ushuaia' reveals the city's privileged position, surrounded by towering mountains and glaciers that touch the sky. It is the perfect setting for those looking for the classic photograph of the southernmost city in the world seen from the sea. Along the way, we'll visit Bird Island and Sea Lion Island, where Tierra del Fuego's wildlife is on full display: you'll see South American sea lions and South American fur seals, as well as various birds such as cormorants (often mistaken for penguins), albatrosses and seagulls. To round off the experience, we sail to the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, the famous “Lighthouse at the End of the World,” where new colonies of seabirds await us. We guarantee a safe trip full of interesting facts told by our guides, making this tour an unforgettable memory of your time in Tierra del Fuego.
