🐧🦀 Exclusive Penguin Watching + Lunch in Puerto Almanza: Nature, adventure, and flavors of the Beagle Channel


Can you imagine discovering Ushuaia's famous penguin colony from an exclusive boat, sailing comfortably toward Martillo Island and wrapping up your day enjoying the most authentic flavors of the King Crab Route?


This proposal is ideal for you, seeking an authentic, intimate, and complete experience on your visit to the End of the World: you'll get to experience the King Crab Route, an intimate navigation through the Beagle Channel toward Martillo Island for a peaceful and close-up sighting of Magellanic and Gentoo penguins, and you'll have a perfect finishing touch with an authentic lunch in Puerto Almanza.


Organized directly by our own local team, without intermediaries, this experience guarantees security, comfort, and close contact with the purest nature of the Beagle Channel.


The adventure begins at the Ushuaia port, from where we depart in our comfortable vehicles along National Scenic Route No. 3, starting this adventure through the famous King Crab Route heading toward Puerto Almanza.


While traveling this route, you'll pass through valleys surrounded by winter centers that transform into unique natural settings year-round, notably the famous Cerro Castor, the southernmost ski resort in the world. The journey continues to Rancho Hambre, a historical site of the first colonization attempt on the island, a stop filled with fascinating stories about the adventurous and challenging past of Tierra del Fuego.


Desde ahí, seguimos camino por la escénica Ruta Provincial J, inmersa en un bosque virgen de lengas y ñires, enmarcado por la belleza del Lasifashaj River que serpentea junto al camino. Una combinación perfecta between belleza escénica and tranquilidad fueguina.


Your destination is Puerto Almanza, an artisanal fishing village 70 km from Ushuaia, famous for the unparalleled quality of its fresh seafood and its natural and authentic atmosphere. There, we board our exclusive, state-of-the-art boat, equipped with mirrored dual engines and the only on-board heating system available in the area, designed to guarantee comfort and security throughout the navigation.


From Almanza, we begin an unforgettable navigation through the historic Guaraní Pass, with privileged views of Gable Island, a key territory in the history of the ancient Yámana people, legendary navigators of the Beagle Channel. This journey offers not only spectacular views but also a deep connection with the culture and history of the channel.


We'll reach Martillo Island, one of the few islands in the world where colonies of Magellanic and Gentoo penguins coexist during spring and summer. You'll enjoy an intimate and peaceful sighting, with plenty of time to contemplate them up close in their natural habitat, creating unforgettable memories.


After this magical encounter with the penguins, we sail back to Puerto Almanza, once again enjoying the unique beauty of the Beagle Channel.


Upon disembarking, a special gastronomic experience awaits you: in an authentic local restaurant facing the channel, you will savor fresh seafood, straight from the water to your table, prepared by the local people, along with other regional flavors that will make lunch a memorable experience.


Finally, we begin the comfortable return to the Ushuaia port, leaving you with an unforgettable All-in-One Experience, full of nature, authentic flavors, and the satisfaction of having experienced the End of the World in its most exclusive and genuine version.


An authentic, exclusive, and memorable experience in Ushuaia, designed for travelers seeking unique moments, without intermediaries, and with the support of our local team. We look forward to giving you an experience you will remember forever!

La travesia en 4x4 fantástica! El guía de 10!, el almuerzo exquisito. Lo mismo la excursión x el canal de Beagle, avistaje de lobos marinos y pinguinos, hasta tuvimos la suerte de ver a los lejos ballenas, ha sido una experiencia inolvidable!!

Agradezco enormemente la amabilidad y excelente atención que tuvieron conmigo y con mi familia. La atención en Ushuaia de Marcelo fue súper agradable y dispuesta, servicial y cordial. No solo nos apoyó en la contratación de los tours, sino en darnos su opinión para poder elegir el que más nos convenía debido a tiempos y costos. Además nos coordinó también tour en Calafate y estuvo atento a resolver nuestras dudas aún fuera de la agencia...

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble con la agencia Info Ushuaia durante nuestra excursión al Parque Natural. Desde el primer contacto, la atención fue excepcional. Martina y Fito se destacaron por su amabilidad y conocimiento. Nos brindaron un servicio personalizado, asegurándose de que cada detalle fuera perfecto. La excursión al parque fue espectacular, el paisaje es absolutamente impresionante...

Un paseo maravilloso al Parque Nacional y el recorrido del Tren del Fin del Mundo. Una experiencia con adrenalina en el paseo 4x4 a los lagos y el almuerzo en la cabaña a orillas del lago Fangiano es el epítome de una día en el que la naturaleza toma protagonismo hasta dejarte sin aliento de tanta belleza. Recomiendo 100% la empresa, los paseos, el personal, es todo lo que está bien cuando eres turista en una provincia tan hermosa como Tierra del Fuego....

Excelentes paisajes, nos recogieron en el hospedaje puntual, la van cómoda, el conductor y la guía atentos, pendientes y explicando a cada paso la experiencia del tour. Ya en el tren del fin del mundo, este tiene la experiencia debidamente programada y explicada en múltiples idiomas. Un poco ajustado el tiempo, pero todo muy bien

Muy divertido, el barco muy veloz, hay que formarse desde temprano para tener un buen lugar en la cabina, muy amables las chicas de abordo, los pingüinos muy chistosos pero muuuuy apestosos, realmente vale la pena ir y tomar este tour, lo único es que hay que saber cuando llegan los pingüinos porque según que no todo el año están.
