Beagle Channel, Seals Island, and Bridges Islands
Sail the Beagle Channel with coastal views, a Karelo Island stop, sea lion sightings, and visits to Bird Island and Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse before returning to Ushuaia.
You begin your navigation from the Tourist Pier, heading into the Beagle Channel and enjoying panoramic views of the Ushuaia coastline. As you move away, you spot notable landmarks such as the Maritime Museum (former prison), the Museum of Fin del Mundo, the industrial area, and the Olivia and Cinco Hermanos mountains. Your journey takes you to the Bridges Islands, where you stop and disembark on Karelo Island for a gentle walk accessible to everyone. Sailing southwest, you approach Los Lobos Island, where you can observe sea lions in their natural habitat from the boat, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
Continuing the journey, you head toward Los Pájaros Island, home to Magellanic and Imperial cormorants, as well as other marine birds. Next, you visit the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, located in the archipelago where the Monte Cervantes shipwrecked in 1930. On the return trip through Paso Chico, you pass by the Túnel and Fique ranches before arriving back in Ushuaia, with the stunning backdrop of Monte Martial and its glacier framing the city.
