BEAGLE CHANNEL CRUISE and TIERRA DEL FUEGO NATIONAL PARK
Take a break from the ship to join a panoramic tour that begins with a narrated catamaran cruise along the Beagle Channel, a strait named after the HMS Beagle’s first voyage (1826–30).
Excursion Details
The catamaran offers both enclosed and open deck spaces, allowing you to choose the best spot for viewing. The route includes photo-worthy stops such as Bird Island, home to a large group of cormorants, and Sea Lion Island, inhabited by South American sea lions. You’ll also pass by the Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse, locally known as the “End of the World” lighthouse, though it’s not the same one featured in Jules Verne’s novel. Upon reaching Lapataia Bay, you’ll disembark and board a bus for a tour through the lush Tierra del Fuego National Park, making stops at two exclusive scenic viewpoints: Lake Roca and Ensenada Bay. The tour concludes with your return to the ship.
Important Information:
Guides in languages other than Spanish/English are limited. Should a tour guide for your language be unavailable, the tour will be in Spanish or English only. Guests are recommended to wear sturdy non-slip walking or hiking shoes, sunscreen, a hat and a jacket or windbreaker since sudden shifts in the weather are common.
