Beagle Channel Navigation
Beagle Channel Navigation
You will depart from the local seaport toward Alicia Island, where you will reach a colony of South American sea lions. Then you will sail to Bird Island to watch king shags and imperial shags living close to their nests, and from spring through fall we can even find their breeds.
Again, we head east towards another small island that, depending on the season, we can view South American fur seals. Very close to this island is Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, an authentic symbol of Ushuaia, built in 1919. From there we have a view of the island where rock shags live.
On our way back to Ushuaia, we disembark at Bridges Island to walk along a path for the interpretation of wildlife, while listening to the history of the native inhabitants, the Yamanas. On this island, we can find the largest Yamana's "concheros" (shelly deposits) of the region.
As this is the largest island, we reach the highest panoramic point from which we can enjoy amazing views of the Beagle Channel with the town of Ushuaia in the distance.
