Ushuaia: Beagle Channel Catamaran & Martillo Island Penguins

›

‹

Ushuaia: Beagle Channel Catamaran & Martillo Island Penguins★★★★★★★★★★ 4.21 (127)5h–6hYou board a modern catamaran in Ushuaia and navigate the Beagle Channel past sea lion colonies, bird islands, and the iconic Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. The main event is a 40-minute stop on Martillo Island's beach, where you stand among 6,000+ Magellanic and Gentoo penguins (and possibly King penguins) as they swim and walk just meters away. Navigation, guidance, air-conditioned cabin, and port fees are all included; the tour takes you through the same waters the Yámanas once paddled.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Ushuaia's penguin colony and the Beagle Channel's main landmarks without arranging separate transport or worrying about timing — the catamaran handles the route and the 40-minute stop puts you on the beach with the penguins instead of watching from a distance.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −29%fromUS$ 240View ›

Beagle Channel Catamaran: Sea Lions, Lighthouse & Bridges

›

‹

Beagle Channel Catamaran: Sea Lions, Lighthouse & Bridges★★★★★★★★★★ 4.28 (50)2h 30mYou board a catamaran at Ushuaia's local port and spend two and a half hours on the Beagle Channel, stopping at sea lion colonies, a century-old lighthouse, and a guided walk on Bridges Island where you learn about the Yamana people and see their ancient shell middens. A professional guide narrates the wildlife and history, and the boat runs twice daily in both summer and winter schedules, with children under four riding free.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Ushuaia's wildlife and landscape without arranging your own boat or guide — the fixed schedule and two daily departures mean you can fit it around other plans, and the walk on Bridges Island is the part that makes the history real instead of just something you read about.Free cancellationKids −19%fromUS$ 107View ›
