About
Ideal private navigation to enjoy the Beagle Channel alone with your family or group of friends.
The excursions are carried out with the “KAMS and“ TELIENKA ”yachts, twin boats of 15 meters in length, which due to their dimensions allow a maximum approach to the islands allowing preferential sightings. The maximum capacity per group is 26 passengers.
During our tour we visit Isla Alicia, Isla de Pájaros and Isla de Lobos, where we make very close sightings of the fauna of the Beagle Channel. We know the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse built in 1919, a true emblem of the City of Ushuaia. At the end, we disembark at Bridges Island to walk a path of interpretation of flora and birds, telling the story of the Yámanas aborigines. Here are the largest anthropogenic Yámanas shells in the region.
It also has a panoramic point from where we can observe the magnificence of the Beagle Channel with the City of Ushuaia in the distance.

Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- charlieo1220 contributionsIncredibleThis tour was fun and memorable. The tour operator is well organized. Everything went smoothly. Booking a reservation was easy. Communications from the operator were timely and clear. Our guide, Christian, did a great job. He is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information with us. The boat was comfortable, clean, and safe. The captain and crew were pleasant. The staff at the office was excellent. She was pleasant and efficient. This is an excellent half day tour to see Ushuaia and its surrounding beauty. Well worth doing.Written 7 October 2024
- Polkaguy0 contributionsA Must-Do!Great trip! Comfortable boat ride out to the lighthouse where we saw sea lions, a ginormous elephant seal, and two beautiful condors! From there we went to an island for a short trek to the top of a hill for wonderful vistas. In the boat, they provided coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, and spent a good amount of time with maps and pictures to explain where we were and what we were seeing. A highlight of my trip so far!Written 4 October 2024
- 458mariapiap0 contributionsExcellent experienceThe tour was excellent throughout. We did not opt for the operator to pick us up from our hotel as we were staying just a few minutes away. We reached the booth easily and immediately found our group. The boat is easily accessible and the indoor seating are is comfortable and warm. Most importantly, it offers great views from its large windows. Inside, we really enjoyed the explanations in English given by the tour leader. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The captain and crew were also very nice! Just a few minutes after departure we were able to go outside and enjoy the vies of Ushuaia. The sailing was very smooth and we reached past the tiny island with the iconic lighthouse, where the captain allowed enough time for everyone to take in the view and take some pictures. We were also very lucky to see not only sea lions but also a sea elephant! Again, enough time was given for everyone to enjoy the view of these beautiful creatures and take photos. Everyone welcomed the warm drink (coffee, tea or hot chocolate ) that awaited us inside. We then stopped on Bridges Island and followed a very easy path up to a viewpoint, stopping to see some interesting flora along the way. While the short trek is partly uphill, I stress that it is very easy and manageable. In fact, the path is no steep at any point and the pace is slow, which was ideal for me. Good waterproof shoes are ideal, I was glad to be wearing some due to the mud. The journey back to Ushuaia port was smooth and, once again, you get great views of the city, its port and its surrounding mountains as you approach. The fact that the boat is small in relation to others available made it very easy for everyone to enjoy the views and to take their time with photos. The friendliness of the tour guide, the captain and the crew made it even better. Highly recommended!Written 7 September 2024
- 66santiagoa0 contributionsGreat boat tour!Excellent boat tour. We were about 10, which made it feel a lot cozier. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and was able to provide interesting stories along the way. The ship is smaller, which allows you to get closer to sea lions, cormorants, the lighthouse itself, etc. in case you are worried about getting sea sick, the motion (at least when we got out) was very gentle and barely perceptible.Written 19 July 2024
- K7659ZNsamp0 contributionsBest boat experience in Ushuaia!Great experience, great little boat (Kams), and great crew! We did a laning at Bridges island and walk up the hill were we had amazing views of the Beagle Channel, Highly recommended!!Written 21 June 2024
- LawrenceHNYC0 contributionsA comprehensive tour of Ushuaia by seaThis is one of the must-dos in Ushuaia, if you want to get to know the geography of the marine area and see wildlife. We did the NAVEGACIÓN POR EL CANAL BEAGLE tour, which is a multi-hour tour by boat. We got to see several islands, one with sea lions, one populated by cormorants, one with a lighthouse, and a serenely situated one with subarctic flora that we got to do a mini-trek on (20-30 minutes). In between stops, we traversed the water by boat, which is perfectly fine, albeit a bit boring, but the guide plied us with information and history as well as tea, to keep us entertained. Recommended tour.Written 22 May 2024

- Trip162446268150 contributionsBeagle Channel on small boat.I very nice excursion on a small well equipped boat, the guide was very good and took his time to explain the trip in both Spanish and English, separating into two groups to do this. You definitely get up close to the wildlife, which consisted of Emperor Cormorants and Sea Lions.Written 27 March 2024

- JakeJamieson0 contributionsDefinitely a must do!Awesome boat ride out to some amazing islands with lots of wildlife, plus you get to walk on one of the islands and see some old fishing huts. The Host was very lovely and knew so much about Ushuaia’n history.Written 8 March 2024
- Climber106490667520 contributionsVery goodThe entire tour was good. Our guide Pablo was very nice and knowledgeable. He explained everything in Spanish and English both. The mini trek was excellent. It was easy and we went up a small hill from where the view was spectacular. We could see the ocean and mountains on both Argentinian and Chilean side. Our navigator took the boat very close to the rocks so we could have a good view of the seals and the birds. The coffee and hot chocolate on the way back was refreshing. Only one small glitch. People were using their spoons after licking them to take the second serving of the coffee and chocolate. My husband and I did not take the second serving for the same reason.Written 25 February 2024
- Stay2856160 contributionsExcellent value for moneyAll went well and the weather was perfect too. I expected the tour to be only in Spanish -- yet good for me, our guide explained everything in English too. She apparently enjoyed her job and I enjoyed listening to her. Our group was truly international, good opportunity to meet people from all over the World here, in the end of the World and beginning of everything :) Birds and sea lions were great; we got very close to them.Written 23 February 2024
