What’s the experience like?

The wind hit us as soon as we stepped out of the airport—kind of sharp, even for summer. I spotted my name on a sign near the exit, and our driver, Martín, waved us over with a quick “buenos días.” The van was already humming warm inside. There was this faint smell of eucalyptus from someone’s bag, mixed with that cold sea air Ushuaia always has. Honestly, after the flight down here, just sitting back and letting someone else handle the roads felt like a treat.

We rolled through town in a shared van—there were maybe six of us, all headed to different hotels along Magallanes Street and Prefectura Naval Avenue. Martín chatted about the weather (apparently it changes every hour), pointed out where the old prison museum sits, and gave us tips on local bakeries for breakfast. At one stop, an older couple asked if penguins really walk through town sometimes. He just laughed and said you never know in Ushuaia. If you’re booking a private Ushuaia airport transfer, it’s good to know they keep things pretty relaxed but organized—no confusion about bags or stops.

Our hotel was last on the route, so I got to watch the city wake up—kids in puffy jackets heading to school, shop shutters rattling open. The whole thing took maybe 20 minutes? Not bad at all considering traffic can get weird when cruise ships are in port (which Martín warned us about). I’d definitely do this again; it’s simple and you don’t have to worry about taxis or language stuff right after landing.
