About this experience
I experienced the end of the world as it should be: sailing along the legendary Beagle Channel, off the coast of Ushuaia.
The journey takes you straight to the heart of wildlife: Seabird Island, where cormorants dominate the sky, and Sea Lion Island, where these incredible animals rest just a few meters from your camera. Pure, unfiltered nature.
The highlight comes in front of the iconic Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, the most famous postcard image of southern Argentina. A solitary red and white lighthouse in the middle of a breathtaking landscape.
We finish with a landing on Bridges Island and a short walk to a natural viewpoint: city, mountains, and canal in a single image. It's more than an excursion. It's experiencing Patagonia in its wildest state.

Itinerary and highlights
During our tour, we will stop in front of Isla de los Pájaros, a small rocky island that is part of Tierra del Fuego National Park. This island is home to an impressive number of seabirds, including:
Imperial cormorants and black-necked cormorants
Southern gulls and kelp gulls
Skuas (southern hunting birds)
On occasion, it is possible to see Magellanic penguins in the nearby waters.
Located on a small rocky archipelago in the Beagle Channel, just 5 nautical miles from Ushuaia, Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse is one of the most photographed landmarks in Tierra del Fuego. Its name means ‘The Explorers’ in French, and it was inaugurated in 1920. It is still in operation today, fully automated.
The Bridges Islands form a small archipelago located in the Beagle Channel, a few kilometres east of Ushuaia. Surrounded by calm waters and panoramic views of the Fuegian mountain range, these islands are a must-see stop during any voyage through the area.
