MARTILLO ISLAND, PENGUIN ROOKERY

We set sail from the local tourist dock crossing the wide Ushuaia Bay until reaching the Beagle Channel through Paso Chico.

There we sail around the “Birds Island” where we will see Skuas, Black-browed Albatrosses, Steam Ducks, Cauquenes, Cook Seagulls and Gray Seagulls; continuing, we will visit the “Sea Lions Island” where we can observe sea lions with one and two hairs. Both islands belong to the Bridges archipelago.

Then we get to the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse (The Scouts), one of the most iconic places in Ushuaia. There we will be able to appreciate the colonies of Imperial Cormorants and Rocky Cormorants too.

Continuing through the east, we will see Puerto Almanza, Puerto Williams until we get to Martillo Island, where we will be able to appreciate a big Pinguin Rookery.

Finally, we return navigating the Beagle Channel to the City.

Note: at the beginning and at the end of the season you could see fewer penguin specimens.

Eventually the schedule could change. Please contact us to reconfirm.
