Customer Reviews
Unforgettable experience walking amongst penguins on Isla Martillo. Very well and sensitively organized tour, with strong emphasis placed on penguins welfare. The cruise up the beagle channel is amazing as well. You start on a larger boat for the beagle channel cruise. The group then splits in two, with one half spending about an hour on the island while the other visits a museum, before swapping round. Quite expensive at 260USD per person, which does not include the mandatory Harbreton Ranch and port fee (45k ARS per person). If the weather is good, recommend skipping the museum and taking a walk up the road for great views of the surrounding mountains
Exceptional tour to the penguins and the Beagle Channel. The guide, the crew, the biologist at the exhibition all do their job with passion. It was a fantastic tour getting close to the gentoo and Magellan penguins, we spotted two minke whales and followed them with distance for a while. This tour was our highlight in Ushuaia and worth the effort to get here. I highly recommend this tour with Piratour if available definitely the best day tour of all. I was really sorry for all the visitors on their boats not allowed to access the island not able to see the gentoos.
We did the beagle channel and penguin Island tour. It was excellent. We also visit the museum of sea mammals. It was very educational. The penguins were the highlight of the excursion. It was very well organized. I highly recommend it.
