We operate with small groups, ensuring a personal and friendly atmosphere with professional guides fluent in Spanish and English.
Our excursions utilize the "KAMS" and "TELIENKA" yachts, twin 15-meter vessels. Their size allows for close approaches to the islands, enhancing wildlife viewing opportunities.
During the tour, we visit Isla Alicia, Isla de Pájaros, and Isla de Lobos for intimate wildlife encounters in the Beagle Channel. We also see the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, built in 1919 and a significant symbol of Ushuaia.
We disembark on Bridges Island for a guided walk focusing on local flora and birdlife. You'll learn about the history of the indigenous Yámanas people, and see the largest Yámanas shell mounds in the region.
The island also features a viewpoint offering magnificent panoramic views of the Beagle Channel and Ushuaia in the distance.

Amazing experience...
Reza_G, October 2026
Amazing experience exploring the Beagle Channel! Beautiful landscapes, stunning views, and a great opportunity to see Ushuaia from the water. The tour was memorable and definitely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ushuaia!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
The channel at the end of the world.

It is a great experience to sail through the Channel that Charles Darwin passed through. A stop is made on Bridge Island to take a mini walk and be able to take some wonderful photos on the island. Then there is bird and sea lion watching from the catamaran on a nearby island and at the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse. On this tour there is no penguin sighting, because they are on Martillo Island (penguin colony) from the middle of October; this navigation is longer and more expensive if you want to walk on the penguin island. It is recommended to dress warmly because the air is very cold during the navigation.

Very nice experience...

Very nice experience traveling across the Beagle channel and visiting the lighthouse. The tour guides were knowledgeable and shared much information about the history and living creatures. Definitely worth a try in Ushuaia.

The tour is overall...

The tour is overall excellent! The tour guide is very nice and friendly. We are the only English-speaking people in the group but the tour guide is very patient and gave us separate and detailed introductions.
