“Martin (Guide) and Sebastian (Driver) were wonderful! On the drive out Sebastian spotted Rheas and a Guanaco for us and stopped to look at them. The glacier itself is UNREAL! You must do this if you have the time in El Calafate. Martin was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area and was great to chat with about the wildlife in the area. You have lots of time on the walkways to view the glacier, so that was nice. Overall, a lovely day and tour!”

Our guide, Marcelo, did a great job of getting us through the park, buying tickets and taking care of us. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel in a timely fashion.I’d do this tour again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 439 reviews · 5 hours · from $180

5-hour catamaran cruise from Ushuaia to penguin colony Martillo Island, plus sea lions, seabirds, and the Les Eclaireurs lighthouse story.

“The best tour I've ever done! I did the 3pm tour, but I would recommend getting there earlier (like 2:15) to secure a good seat, although you will probably be on the deck for the more exciting parts. I went on this tour during whale migration season and we were lucky enough to see 7 whales throughout the trip! The sea lions and penguins were also super cute. If you are going in the colder months, definitely layer, the wind was definitely strong and made me wish i had more layers at times. Overall, one of my favorite experiences I've had and I highly recommend!”

“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.”
