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.

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!”
