Well, the Boat tours on the Beagle Channel generally operate from October to April, which corresponds to the austral spring and summer in the Southern Hemisphere and it´s the peak season. This period offers the best weather conditions, longer daylight hours, and the greatest chance to see wildlife such as penguins, sea lions, and seabirds. For that reason, it´s the main season to visit Ushuaia. During these dates, you will find many departure times for different boat navigations on the Beagle Channel
Why Are There No Regular Tours in Winter?
-
Harsh weather (cold temperatures, strong winds)
