The Beagle Channel Sailing Tour (half day)

In the afternoon, we will depart from the tourist pier to sail across the Beagle Chanel, while watching the Argentine coastline and the Navarino Island (Chile) on the opposite side. We will arrive at Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, a symbol of Ushuaia. On our way back, we will pass by some small islands; sea lions can be appreciated in one of them and a wide variety of birds in the other. Arrival at Ushuaia.

The Beagle Channel Navigation Tour starts at Ushuaia’s tourist port. There you will embark on a catamaran to sail across Ushuaia Bay. As the boat moves away from the coast, enjoy amazing views of the city’s landmarks and the mountains that surround the island, such as Montes Olivia, Cinco Hermanos, los Montes Escarpados, as well as estancias Fique and Túnel and the Encajondado River. A few minutes later, heading southwest, this guided maritime tour will turn into the Beagle Channel, until it reaches Isla de los Cormoranes,home to the marine bird typical to this zone. Observe them hunting fish by diving into the water, before continuing your navigation to Isla de Lobos. Here you will get so see these amazing animals up close from a number of angles, and learn more about the habits of this colony of sea lions. Finally, this maritime excursion will continue through the Beagle Channel to reach one of the most representative symbols of adventure travel: the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, which in French means ‘enlighteners’ or ‘scouts’. This lighthouse is also known, incorrectly, as the Lighthouse at the End of the World: a reference to Jules Verne’s novel, which in turn refers to the San Juan Salvage. The Eclaireurs Lighthouse may not be the southernmost, but it is famous for its location and is the reference point for the channel. After visiting this famous landmark, return to Ushuaia.
