Experience the best tours from Ushuaia

Your day trip's duration will depend entirely on what's included. Beagle Channel cruises commonly take around 2.5–4 hours, park tours around 5 hours, while penguin excursions take around around 5 hours.

Guided day trips are the simplest option for most visitors because they can combine transport, timed activities and multiple stops. Park and wildlife excursions can involve road transfers, while Beagle Channel trips depart through the port system.

Advance booking is particularly useful for fixed-departure experiences and wildlife tours, as these are often seasonal and see high demand. We recommend booking your experience at least 4-7 days in advance.

For most outdoor and wildlife excursions, summer is the best period, particularly between December and March. If spotting penguins are at the very top of your bucket list, you should aim to visit between October and April. Winter, on the other hand, is better suited to snow-focused experiences and winter landscapes.

Absolutely! Some full-day tours commonly combine Tierra del Fuego National Park with a Beagle Channel excursion and take around 10 hours. They maximize coverage but leave less time for a relaxed pace than separate single-focus trips.

No, your tour to the Tierra del Fuego National Park gives you the option of choosing to ride on the End of the World Train. Other options you can choose include trekking and kayaking through the national park, or a Classic tour that takes you to two key viewpoints: the Lake Acigami and Lapataia Bay.

If you visit between October and April, your chances of spotting penguins are quite high, as this is when Magellanic penguins return to Martillo Island during their breeding season. if you want guaraneteed sightings, November to February is your best bet, as the penguins slowly start arriving in the region in October.

Yes, most tours include round-trip transfers directly from your hotel, ensuring you don't have to deal with the logistics of navigating the city's public transportation network. However, some tours only include pick-ups from a common meeting point, such as the Martial Glacier Tour.

Since most tours take you to high, snowy passes, carrying adequate warm clothing is critical. Some non-negotiables should be fleece gloves and neck warmers, thermal layers, and wind and waterproof jackets and trousers.
