The best time to take a trip to the Martillo Island Penguin Colony is between October and March. During these months, the weather in Ushuaia is milder, and it's nesting season for Magellanic penguins and other species. This is the optimal time to observe penguins in their natural habitat, as there are chicks and you can admire the dynamic between the adults and their chicks. Planning your visit wisely guarantees an unforgettable experience for those who love nature and biodiversity.
During the cruise to Martillo Island, you will have time to observe the penguin colony up close while you remain on the boat. However, disembarking on the island to walk among the penguins is not permitted.

Guides provide detailed information about the penguins and their behavior, ensuring an educational and eco-friendly experience during your visit to the Beagle Channel.
To fully enjoy the excursion, it is recommended to wear warm and waterproof clothing, given the changeable weather in the Ushuaia region. It is advisable to bring extra layers of clothing, a hat, gloves, and a scarf to protect yourself from the cold. Don't forget your binoculars to better spot the wildlife and a camera to capture the beauty of the landscape and wildlife. You may also want to bring a light snack and water, although the boat usually offers refreshments on board for your convenience.
