Descripción del Tour:

Between 8 and 8:30 am, we commence our hotel pick-up service, setting off from Ushuaia and traveling east along National Route Nº3. Upon reaching the Lasifashaj River, guests can opt for one of two activities: paddling in inflatable canoes along the river and the Beagle Channel, or heading directly to Estancia Harberton to explore the Marine Mammal Museum and the historical surroundings of one of Tierra del Fuego's earliest settlements.
For those choosing the paddling adventure, we provide rubber boots, waterproof pants, and life jackets to prepare for the journey downriver to the sea. As we navigate the Beagle Channel, we direct the canoes towards the ranch. Throughout this maritime itinerary, you may encounter diverse sea birds and occasionally spot sea lions basking on the small islands en route to Harberton Harbour.
After the canoe adventure or visiting the Harberton museum, both groups reconvene at the ranch dock. Together, we board a motorboat bound for Martillo Island, where we can observe penguins in their natural breeding habitat. The journey continues on the motorboat to the day's highlight: the expansive Gable Island, where a Patagonian lunch, complete with fine wine and mineral water, awaits.
Following a coffee break, we embark on a scenic walk across this enchanting island, passing by beaver dams, the coastal shoreline, and through lush forests to reach the boat that will return us to Harberton. From there, we board a bus for our return trip to Ushuaia.
