Tour Details
Beagle Channel Catamaran To Sea Wolves Island
Cross Argentina's wide Bay of Ushuaia and sail the Beagle Channel on a catamaran to view sea lions and the harsh but wildly beautiful Tierra Del Fuego region.
After departing from the local tourist dock, this nature lover's tour will traverse the bay of Ushuaia and reach the Beagle Channel through Paso Chico. The channel is a strait located in the archipelago island chain of Tierra del Fuego and it separates the larger main island of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego from various smaller islands.
You will motor around Isla de Los Pajaros (Bird Island) and Isla de los Lobos (Sea Lions Island), which are part of the Bridges Archipelago. You will have the opportunity to observe skuas, black-browed albatrosses, steamer ducks, cauquenes, kelp gulls, grey gulls, and sea lions.
Upon arrival at Faro Les Eclaireur (the Illuminators Lighthouse), you'll see colonies of shags and cormorants. You'll also learn the history of the SS Monte Cervantes that sank in 1930.
The motorized catamaran you are traveling on has an inside cabin as well as an observation deck on the top. To access the top deck, guests must be able to pull themselves up a steep ladder with handrail. The boat is bathroom equipped.
