Martillo Island: Boat Trip to the Penguin Colony & Beagle Channel
Ushuaia (Argentina)
Location
Join us on an unforgettable 4-hour boat tour to one of the world’s largest Magellanic penguin colonies and get up close to these incredibly social animals in their natural habitat. Departing from the Tourist Port of Ushuaia, you’ll navigate the scenic Beagle Channel, enjoying panoramic views of the city and its surroundings as you make your way to Martillo Island.
Accompanied by a professional local guide, you’ll learn fascinating facts about penguin behavior, their nesting habits, and the rich biodiversity of Tierra del Fuego. Along the way, take in stunning landscapes where the Andes meet the sea, and spot local wildlife including seabirds and sea lions.
As you approach the island, the catamaran slows down to allow for a close look at the penguin colony. Listen to your guide’s insights and recommendations while you observe hundreds of penguins waddling along the beach, diving into the water, or tending to their nests.
This is more than just a sightseeing tour — it’s a chance to connect with nature, explore the southernmost reaches of the continent, and hear fascinating stories from Ushuaia’s history.
