Summary: What a great way to spend an afternoon in Ushuaia - on the water in the sunshine just relaxing. As we were we on a small boat we could get closer to the animals without impacting them too much. We saw so much then hiked on an island- thank you to Juan Pablo, Carlos and Gabi.

Summary: Excellent, small ship cruise with a very, very good guide. Highly recommend this trip versus the other big catamarans as much more personal and we got closer to the wildlife

Summary: We are positive this is the best place to experience the beagle channel. Small boat with a small group of people (we were with 12).
