Details of Day Tours

We begin the navigation leaving the tourist port of Ushuaia in the direction of the center of the Beagle Channel, enjoying as we move away the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia and the mountains Olivia y Five Brothers.

We sail towards the southwest approaching the Isla de los Lobos, where from the boat we can see sea lions in their permanent habitat. Then we continue to Bird Island, habitat of Magellanic and Imperial Cormorants, and a privileged area to spot specimens of marine avifauna. The farthest point of navigation is the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name. On these islets it is possible to see part of Monte Cervantes, a ship that sank in 1930.

Following the southern coast of the Big Island of Tierra del Fuego we see Estancia Remolino where The ship Monte Sarmiento is stranded. Crossing the Beagle Channel in a north-south direction we see the Gable Island and la Puerto Williams Naval Base (located on Navarino Island, Republic of Chile). Upon reaching Hammer Island we will stop to observe the colony of Magellanic Penguins which nest during the summer season.

From here we return to the local port, seeing the Estancias on the way Tunnel y Fique.
