6 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

We begin the navigation leaving from the Tourist Pier of our city, towards the center of the Beagle Channel, enjoying, as we move away, the panoramic view of the coast of Ushuaia.
We sail towards the southwest, approaching the sea lions island observing their permanent habitat, in a wonderful setting.
Continuing the navigation, we will go to the Birds island, habitat of Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants, and a privileged sector to spot species of marine birds.
We continue sailing towards the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.
Following the south coast of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, when we get to Martillo Island, we will approach the beach and will observe how the colony of Magellanic Penguins that nest during the summer season approach the boat with remarkable curiosity, enter the sea by swimming under the catamaran and re-emerge. A party that invites us to take countless photographs.
From here we return by sailing to the Tourist Pier

    Faro Les Eclaireurs

    We continue sailing towards the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name. On these islets it is possible to see parts of Monte Cervantes, a ship that shipwrecked in 1930. At all these points of interest, the catamaran will stop and make several turns to make it easier for passengers to take the best photographs. Following the southern coast of the Big Island of Tierra del Fuego we will see the Estancia Remolino where the ship Monte Sarmiento is stranded. Crossing the Beagle Channel in a North-South direction we will see Gable Island and the Puerto Williams Naval Base (located on Navarino Island, Republic of Chile).
