Beagle Channel Boat Tour

Sail the strait at the end of the world — sea lions, lighthouses and penguin islands, with the Andes behind you.

Quick facts

Most navigations run 2–3 hours from Ushuaia’s tourist port. The classic route takes in sea lion colonies, cormorant rookeries, Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse and Isla Martillo (penguins). Many full-day versions pair the cruise with Tierra del Fuego National Park.

What you’ll see

  • Sea lion & cormorant colonies — wildlife on the channel’s rocky islets.
  • Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse — the “End of the World” lighthouse at the tip of the channel.
  • Isla Martillo — penguin rookery (seasonal).
  • Ushuaia from the water — the city backed by snow-capped Andes.

FAQ

Beagle Channel or Tierra del Fuego Park?

They’re different experiences. The Beagle Channel is a water-based wildlife cruise; the National Park is a land tour (Lapataia Bay, Lake Roca, the End of the World Train). Many visitors do both in one combined full-day tour.
