Unique experience in the Beagle Channel, one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world. We will navigate the channel, visit the Lobos and Pájaros Islands, where you can observe sea lions, cormorants and other seabirds in their natural habitat. We will make a stop at the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, a historic lighthouse located on an archipelago of the same name, offering a unique view of the region. The highlight of our journey will be a visit to the Martillo Island penguin colony. This is, without a doubt, the most anticipated moment of the tour. Our boat will dock on the island, allowing you to live an incomparable experience: observe the charming Magellanic penguins up close. These friendly animals, known for their curiosity, come within a few meters of visitors, providing a unique opportunity to admire them in their natural environment. This tour is designed for those looking for a nature and adventure experience in Tierra del Fuego.

Following the south coast of the Big Island of Tierra del Fuego we will see the Estancia Swirl where the ship Monte Sarmiento is stranded.

Great tour. Very well organised company. Clean boat and most importantly the captain did a great job for everyone to see well. Tourists on the boat were kind and gave an opportunity for others to move forward too to see as well. I highly recommend this trip. I believe it was better priced than many of the other ones too. Go see the penguins!

We booked this tour with high expectations, but we were extremely dissatisfied upon arrival. We did not received the tour we booked, and we were offered limited options when we discovered that the tour company MIGHT NOT return us to our cruise ship by the scheduled departure time. The tour company published excursion arrival and departure times for which they did not honor. They started the tour an hour and a half after their published time and were a half-hour late in receiving us for check-in. We opted for a shorter tour in order to avoid missing ship's movement and to get some (an undetermined amount) of our excursion costs returned to us. The tour clerks were not organized or helpful. And the 30 plus passengers that signed up for this tour were left standing and waiting for help in line for nearly an hour. It was obvious that there was little coordination between this tour company, Trip Advisor, and the cruise ship company. I would never recommend this tour to any cruise ship traveler.
