Description:

Set off on a full-day adventure to southern Argentina for a scenic catamaran cruise with up-close views of local sea lions and penguins. As you island-hop along the Beagle Channel, marvel at the stunning nature and wildlife and learn about Patagonia's unique history.

Board a comfortable catamaran and sail the pristine waters of the Beagle Channel. Pass through the islands of the Alicia Archipelago and keep on the lookout for local wildlife like the black-browed albatross, cormorants, or steamer ducks.

Stop at the iconic 74-foot-tall (23-m) Faro Les Eclaireurs lighthouse, known as “the lighthouse at the end of the world” and a gatekeeper for sailors heading into the unknown of Antarctica. Cruise alongside Bird and Seal Island for up-close views of local birds and two good-natured species of barking sea lions.

Next, head out towards Martillo Island, home of adorable Magellanic penguins and orange-beaked gentoo penguins. Disembark and watch the penguins waddle, dive, and play on the island's rocky shores.

Before returning to Ushuaia, visit Estancia Harberton, a 19th-century ranch, to learn about Patagonia's rich history and explore the charming scenery.
