Martillo Island: home to king and Magellanic penguins every spring. Martillo penguins gather in lively colonies at dawn

About this activity

Get ready to live one of the most unforgettable adventures at the End of the World.

The Beagle Channel awaits you with landscapes that look like they belong to another planet: snow-covered mountains, crystal-clear waters, and that pure southern air you can only feel in Ushuaia. The journey begins toward Bird Island, where hundreds of cormorants and seagulls greet you from the sky. We continue to Alicia Island to meet the two-furred sea lions, and then to the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse —yes, the one from all the photos!

But the most magical moment comes at Martillo Island : Magellanic and Gentoo penguins walking freely by the sea, curious and calm. Seeing them up close is something you don’t explain —you feel it.

It’s an experience made for those who love nature, photos that tell stories, and journeys that truly move you.

Join the adventure!

Book your spot and discover why Ushuaia is not just a destination —it’s a dream come true.
