Overview

You will have the chance to take part in this exclusive excursion, where you’ll walk alongside these fascinating creatures for an hour, accompanied by a specialized guide who will reveal the secrets of their lives and behavior.

Our journey begins with check-in at the Ushuaia tourist dock located in the port. From there, we’ll head by bus toward Martillo Island along National Route No. 3, where you’ll be amazed by the native vegetation: lenga and coihue forests, vast peat bogs, and majestic mountains. We’ll immerse ourselves in the beauty of the landscape until we reach the boarding point, where the true adventure begins.

Once there, we’ll board semi-rigid boats that will take us to the magical Martillo Island. After a 15-minute navigation, you’ll enjoy a one-hour walk, exploring the colony of gentoo and Magellanic penguins alongside our expert guide.
