Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking

/ August 11, 2026

1.Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 642 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $80Our pick

Half-day Beagle Channel cruise from Ushuaia with a short Isla Bridges trek, wildlife viewing, and lighthouse views.

“Slow boat out to the channel. Hits 3 spots. An island with lots of birds. An island with some sea lions and then an inhabited island with interesting flora. The first two you only stay for a couple of minutes to take pictures. The scenery of the channel is nice but there are much faster boats around that likely you can get around faster and see more. Guide was not particularly engaged (particularly for English speakers), but maybe it was just an off day.”

Ushuaia: Beagle Channel & Sea Wolves Island Catamaran Cruise

/ August 12, 2026

2.Beagle Channel & Sea Wolves Island Catamaran Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 433 reviews · 2h 30m · from $115

Ushuaia Beagle Channel catamaran for 150 minutes, Bird and Sea Lion islands, Les Eclaireurs lighthouse, and Yamana conchero.

“Excellent tour across the Beagle Channel with views of Penguin & Seal colonies. We did spot a couple of Whales as well. Sufficient time to take pictures from the boat. I feel that the tour photographers can be improved as there were many redundant & not so pleasing pictures taken in a short span of time. Also downlaoding the pictures fron the drive link can be a headache post tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 124 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $240

Beagle Channel catamaran to Isla Martillo penguins and sea lions, Faro Les Eclaireurs lighthouse views, bilingual guide.

“An excellent excursion. We saw everything we were promised in the excursion offering. The catamaran was extremely comfortable and warm. The outside viewing areas were small for the number of patrons but we were able to see what we wanted to see eventually. A humpback whale made an unexpected appearance and the driver made a quick (and safe) U-turn so all of the patrons could get a good view. Excellent attention to customer satisfaction. We got up close to the land points where the penguins and sea lions were resting and got great views and pictures. The only downside was finding the tour operator onshore. The instructions we received were…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 48 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $107

Beagle Channel catamaran cruise from Ushuaia to Sea Lions Island, Bridges Island walk, and the 1929 Les Eclaireurs lighthouse.

“The Beagle channel tour itself was nice, the only issue we had was with the operators. They have the meetup/pickup time as 3 PM in Viator. For every single other trek/tour, that means we meet at 3 PM. For them, it means meet at 2:15 PM with a 2:40 PM deadline. I did make a mistake in reading their message and reading 2:30, so when they messaged me at 2:10 that they were outside while we were still getting ready, it was a surprise. I apologized for the misunderstanding and offered to buy a taxi so they wouldn't have to wait. They decided to wait. When I got in the…”

Beagle Canal Tour with Small Group Hiking

14.Beagle Canal Tour with Small Group Hiking

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 43 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $97

Small-group Beagle Canal tour from Ushuaia with island birdwatching, a lighthouse stop, and a hike at Puerto Cheto.

“We really enjoyed this tour and the operator was fantastic. Good communication. When the harbour closed due to bad conditions and high wind they messaged us right away and stayed in touch about options and updates and we were able to reschedule for later the same day when the weather improved. We enjoyed the small boat which was able to get much closer to the light house and seals there than the larger boat. And the short hike was enjoyable on another small island. Highly recommended.”
