🐧🦀 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.

From there, we continue along the scenic Provincial Route J, immersed in a virgin forest of lengas and ñires, framed by the beauty of the Lasifashaj River that snakes alongside the road. A perfect combination of scenic beauty and Fuegian peacefulness.

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!
