Itinerary Sailing to Sea Lion Island + Penguin Colony
Sailing through the famous Beagle Channel to the Island of the Birds, crossing the Sea Lion Island, the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse and the Hammer Island is one of the best experiences you can live in Ushuaia.
With this Navigation to "La Pinguinera" you will be able to contemplate an enormous colony of Magellanic penguins. In addition, during the tour you will also have the opportunity to observe a colony of sea lions and a colony of Imperial Cormorants, among other birds.
In the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (End of the World Lighthouse) there is the stop that everyone is waiting for, to be able to take the famous photo with the lighthouse behind. That photo that we all want to take as a souvenir.
After all this tour, we will return back to Ushuaia. We will navigate this route near the coast of the Canal, which allows us to see the flora and fauna of the area very closely and enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the city and the mountains that surround it. Cheer up and discover the Beagle Channel in a unique way!
