Review of Ushuaia’s Beagle Channel boat trip with lighthouse views, sea lions, birds, and a short walk on Bridges Island.
“Slow boat out to the channel. Hits 3 spots. An island with lots of birds. An island with some sea lions and then an inhabited island with interesting flora. The first two you only stay for a couple of minutes to take pictures. The scenery of the channel is nice but there are much faster boats around that likely you can get around faster and see more. Guide was not particularly engaged (particularly for English speakers), but maybe it was just an off day.”

The catamaran was comfortable and warm, offering warm beverages and snacks. Naturally, everyone wanted to get the best photos, but the excursion staff ensured everyone got time and space to take photos. Loved the experience!”

“The experience was nice. The train is super slow! The guide was great. The only thing I wanted was more time at the stops. We had like 15 or 20 mins and I didn’t feel it was enough to absorb the beauty. It felt rushed. The train is give or take. It was hard to hear the info out of my ear phones. If you like nature, skip the train, rent a car, and do the hikes instead.”
