Pay particular attention to whether hotel transfers, meals, drinks, entrance fees or other services are covered or require an additional payment.

The duration of the King Crab Fishing in Puerto Almanza excursion may vary depending on the itinerary, road or sailing conditions, departure point and included services.

The starting time, estimated duration and meeting arrangements are shown for the selected date and option. The activity may take a substantial part of the day, especially when transportation from Ushuaia and time in Puerto Almanza are included, but the exact schedule must be confirmed with Tangol. We recommend leaving a generous margin before flights, other tours or onward travel, since weather and operational conditions can affect the itinerary.

The King Crab Fishing in Puerto Almanza excursion is suitable for travelers interested in Tierra del Fuego’s nature, local culture and Beagle Channel cuisine, rather than for those seeking an urban tour or intensive sport fishing.

For the King Crab Fishing in Puerto Almanza excursion, wear comfortable warm clothing, preferably in layers, and closed shoes with good support.

Centollas, puntualidad y atención cercana

Desde la reserva nos atendieron bárbaro: respondieron nuestras dudas por WhatsApp y confirmaron el horario al enviar los datos. El día del tour, el chofer llegó a las 7:55, tal como avisaron, y el traslado desde Ushuaia hasta Puerto Almanza fue cómodo. También cumplieron la hora de regreso. La pesca de centolla resultó divertida y aprendimos muchísimo; terminamos compartiendo una comida riquísima. Para nuestro primer viaje internacional, nos sentimos acompañados en todo momento.

Crab Pots, Coastal Roads, Honeymoon

Booked for our honeymoon and first international trip together, this was a fantastic value. The minibus pickup in Ushuaia was punctual, and the scenic drive to Puerto Almanza felt like part of the tour, not dead time. Our guide explained the crab pots, helped us pull one up, and lunch was a generous spider-crab feast with homemade bread. The small group kept everything relaxed. Not the cheapest day out, but the organization, transport, and meal made the price feel completely fair.

Caranguejo fresco e histórias da baía de Almanza

Durante nossa viagem em família, na baixa temporada, fizemos a pesca de caranguejo-aranha em Puerto Almanza e adoramos. O guia Martín conhecia cada canto da baía: explicou como as marés mudam e até mostrou uma colônia de cormorões perto das pedras. Foi superatencioso, sem pressa, e deixou todos participarem. O almoço preparado com o caranguejo estava delicioso. Pelo passeio, transporte e refeição, o preço ficou muito justo. Experiência autêntica e divertida!

Puerto Almanza: Krabbenfischen, ehrliche Betreuung und ein gelungener Sommertag

Mit meiner 15-jährigen Tochter war der Ausflug nach Puerto Almanza ein echtes Sommer-Highlight. Das Spinnenkrabbenfischen war spannend, ohne stressig zu sein, und das anschließende Essen hat uns überrascht. Für den Preis fanden wir die Mischung aus Bootsfahrt, Aktivität und Betreuung sehr fair. Besonders angenehm war die Buchung: Der Tangol-Mitarbeiter antwortete noch am selben Abend auf Deutsch und klärte, dass für meine Tochter eine warme Jacke gestellt wird. Vor Ort war alles pünktlich und herzlich organisiert. Wir würden den Tag sofort wieder buchen.

Araignées de mer, marées et paysages bruts : une journée parfaitement organisée

En basse saison, la sortie avec ma fille adolescente était parfaitement calée : départ ponctuel d’Ushuaïa, trajet panoramique jusqu’à Puerto Almanza, puis embarquement et pêche aux araignées de mer avant le déjeuner. Notre guide Martín connaissait chaque baie et nous a montré où les crabes se cachent selon la marée. Organisation fluide, rythme agréable, expérience mémorable.
