We set sail from the local tourist pier crossing the wide Bay of Ushuaia until we reach the Beagle Channel through Paso Chico.
There we will sail around the Island of the Birds where we will be able to appreciate the Fuegian avifauna. We will observe: Skúas, Black-browed Albatross, Vapor Ducks, Cauquenes, Cook Gulls and Gray Gulls. Then, we will approach Isla de los Lobos where we will be able to observe sea lions with one and two hairs. Both islands belong to the Bridges archipelago.
Arriving at Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (The Illuminators), we will be able to see the colonies of Imperial Cormorants and Rock Cormorants while listening to the story of the sinking of the SS Monte Cervantes that he starred in 1930.
We will make a descent in Puerto Karelo, belonging to the Bridges Islands, where you can visit genuine Yámana shell middens. This guided walk lasts approximately 20 minutes and concentrates us on a panoramic point where very good photographs can be taken.

We were able to see lots of animals from sea lions, penguins, cormorants, and even some whales. The boat was comfortable and even made one stop to get off and explore an island.

It was OK. The boat changed our departure time to two hours later and we were not notified. This is not a problem when you have extra time but we were in port for just a day. The tour guide lady was good talking in both English and Spanish. The boat was clean and they sell food on board.

The experience was cancelled no less than 3 times due to weather conditions (weather seemed fine, but ok) but the problem is the lack of communication.
At no point did we receive information of the cancellation and on all days did we have to travel to the city just before the excursion to learn it was cancelled.

Yes saw lots, and even 4 whale tails (flukes). up close to boat. Boat was nice, clean, warm and well laid out. Had to stand in long line to exchange reservation conf # for boarding receipt. Listing said to arrive 30 mins before. I would suggest allowing more time so you don't feel rushed.

We really enjoyed this tour. The hiking in the little island was super and the visit to the sea lions and birds islands were unforgettable as well.
Highly recommended
