Very interesting trip to Isla Martillo to walk among two penguin species (Magellanic and Gentoo). You really get close to them and have to be careful not to disturb them. Good service at the cafeteria in estancia Haberton and interesting visit to the marine mammal museum. Guides could do with better English though for those who don’t speak Spanish

Arrived via Celebrity Eclipse. Took excursion via bus to the National Park then offloaded to a powered catamaran through Beagle Sound back to the port. Windy but beautiful. Loved it.

We were fortunate enough to take this tour with a small group of 15. We started out with a short covered zodiac ride to Gable island then spent around two hours hiking on the well marked and maintained trail with blooming plants, curious mosses and views to snow capped mountains. At the end of the hike was a small building where a fine crew had prepared a selling of grilled tenderloin potatoes and apple cobbler. The meal started with a small king crab salad. After a leisurely lunch the boat returned and we were off to the penguin island about 10 min away. We were escorted around among the penguins for about 1 hour being ever careful to keep our distance (min 3 meters). As we were her in January, the many babies were about half feathered out as they replace the baby down. Then a 15 min boat ride and we were back to the starting point and ready for the 90 min drive back to Ushuaia. Such a great day

Great tour guide was doing the tour in two languages which is extremely hard. The trouble with this tour is the places were boring. Just not worth the money

OMG!!!!! You haven't experienced Ushuaia until you've walked amongst the penguins. I am a lover of the animals and I've seen the movies and National Geo videos, but until you've seen penguins in their habitat you haven't lived. Since it was Spring down south the penguins were in their birthing nests. there is only one company that is allowed on the island that is the penguin preserve and they only take 120 people a day. We lucked out and they added a 6:00 AM (yeah in the morning!!) tour. So worth it.

A worthwhile stop to the Terra Feuga National park. Lots of nature to see. Walk around the lake and stop over at the visitor center at Alakush. The tour also stop at the end of the world or Baia Lapataia. The last point of South America before entering Antarctica Magellan straits.

We had a fantastic experience with this tour. I confess that I did not have any high expectations at first but was blown away with the whole experience. We met our tour guides at the Port, then we drove about an hour and a half to the Harberton Estancia where we learned about the history of the founders of Ushuaia. Then we took a small boat to Isla martillo and got to walk along the penguins. We saw 3 types of breeds, it was an amazing experience. We also visited a museum at the end. The only thing I would recommend is for the agency to specify where exactly at the port we need to do the check in. We had to call and then they told us to to go ti the Piratour booth. It was a bit pricey but well worth it.

The boat broke down only half the group got to see the penguins. They only had one boat, can’t believe they don’t have a back up plan. Hour bus ride out for wine and hour back. Not worth it, planned my day around this excursion. Very upset to lose a day of vacation.

My travel companion and I had signed up for a Beagle Channel all day boat tour, the only one that allowed two small groups to take turns going ashore and spend a full hour walking with the penguins. There were hundreds and hundreds of penguins on the island. They were mostly Magellan penguins, with manny of the larger Gentoo penguins. I saw one big King penguin sitting on eggs. The holes or burrows of the Magellan penguins were everywhere. I videotaped one digging and saw dirt flying out. Our guide was very informative. The penguins in general totally ignored us. We could photograph them from as close as a meter. This was a wonderful experience !

Really fantastic, it was like walking through a Tim Burton film. It´s about an hour drive from downtown Buenos Aires but well worth the travels to see something so out of the ordinary and fascinating!
