Highlights

I lived a unique experience sailing the mythical Beagle Canal on a complete tour that combines nature, fauna and unforgettable landscapes. We will visit Bird Island, home to numerous species of seabirds; the Isle of Wolves, where we can observe sea lions in their natural habitat; and the emblematic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse.


As a highlight of the tour, we will disembark for 30 minutes on Hammer Island, where you will have the opportunity to walk among Papuan penguins, the third largest in the world, after the emperor and king. Currently, there are 68 registered couples living there all year round. Being wild animals in their natural environment, the visible amount may vary, but the experience of being so close to them on this sub-Antarctic island is truly unique. This tour sails the Beagle Canal, and we also add the landing experience in the penguin. The whole tour is done by boat.
