Tours May Be Delayed or Cancelled

  • Strong winds, heavy rain, or rough seas can lead to cancellations or rescheduling for safety reasons.

  • Tour companies monitor marine weather conditions closely and usually make decisions a few hours before departure.

  • In Ushuaia, weather changes quickly, so even a bad morning can improve by the afternoon.
