Offered in: German and 4 more

Arriving in Ushuaia by cruise? Skip the crowded buses and discover the southernmost city in the world on a private tour, just for your group, with a local guide who lives here.

Right after pickup at the pier, we head to the old airport viewpoint for the best panoramic view of the city, the bay and the Beagle Channel. Then we drive up to the base of the Martial Glacier trail, where you can walk through native lenga forest, cross a mountain stream and warm up with a hot drink at a cozy mountain cabin.

We continue to Bahía Cucharita, a quiet beach where the mountains drop straight into the sea, offering a completely different view of Tierra del Fuego. Back in town, visit the historic End of the World Prison, the Malvinas Memorial and the famous "Fin del Mundo" sign.

The tour adapts to your interests and your ship's schedule, and you'll be back at the pier at least 1 hour before all-aboard.
