Cruise the historic Beagle Channel from Ushuaia

Follow the route once sailed by Charles Darwin

Sail the Beagle Channel to Discover Iconic Lighthouses and Vibrant Marine Wildlife Colonies


Set sail on a captivating 2.5-hour catamaran cruise that retraces the historic path taken by Charles Darwin in 1833. Departing from the scenic port of Ushuaia, this maritime adventure offers a unique perspective on the rugged beauty of the Beagle Channel. As you glide across the pristine waters, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the Five Brothers and Olivia mountains, which frame the dramatic landscape of this remote and enchanting southern region.


The journey is packed with fascinating landmarks, including the historic Ushuaia prison and the informative End of the World Museum. As you navigate further, the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse comes into view, standing as a silent sentinel against the backdrop of shipwreck ruins. This part of the cruise provides excellent opportunities for photography, allowing you to capture the stark contrast between the man-made structures and the wild, untamed nature of the surrounding archipelago.


Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled by the abundance of wildlife encountered along the way. You will visit Isla de Lobos, home to thriving colonies of sea lions, and Isla de Pรกjaros, where various bird species nest in the rocky terrain. The guided commentary throughout the cruise ensures you learn about the native fauna and the ecological significance of these islands, making the experience both educational and visually stunning for all passengers on board.


With convenient round-trip hotel transport included, this excursion is the perfect way to experience the natural wonders of Ushuaia without any logistical stress. Whether you are interested in maritime history, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the crisp air of the channel, this catamaran cruise delivers an unforgettable experience. It is a must-do activity for anyone visiting the southernmost city in the world, offering a deep connection to the wild spirit of Patagonia.

Had a great time and nice tour. The boat captain gave good narration of what we were seeing and the boat pulls right up on the sand so the penguins are only about 10 feet away so good pictures of the very adorable penguins.

The boat was so packed and loud that we couldnโ€™t understand a single fact from the guide. The biggest disappointment, though, was that the 2.5-hour tour ended early and we spent barely 5 minutes at the seal island. Instead, they dedicated around 25 minutes to another island just so they could take photos of tourists to sell later. Overall, very disappointing.

Incredible trip to see the penguins! We had wanted to see the penguins of Isla Martel, but the tour from another company that takes a small boat over to the island and then lets you walk with them was way too expensive, so we "settled" for this tour. We arrived an hour early and were quickly put on a boat that was just leaving- they had an earlier departure and got us on it. That was great! This voyage in January was calm and we did not experience any waves. Seeing the penguins was a wonderful experience. The boat goes right up on the shore and you are close to them. We saw people walking on the island and both agreed that we were pleased with our choice to take this tour. Then, on the way back to the city, we saw whales! a small pod of Sei whales was right by the boat. What a treat! We did buy the photo package for $25 which was a good deal and included a fun frame.
