Experience two amazing adventures in Ushuaia with our pre-cruise program:
Tierra del Fuego National Park
The Tierra del Fuego National Park excursion in Ushuaia is a truly remarkable experience, as it combines breathtaking natural beauty with fascinating history. Located just a short drive from the city, the park offers a mix of mountains, dense forests, rivers, and the rugged southern coastline. It’s one of the few places in the world where the Andes meet the sea.
Most tours include stops at highlights like Ensenada Bay, where you can see the famous “End of the World” post office, and Lapataia Bay, which marks the southern end of the Pan-American Highway. The views here are stunning, with a combination of snowcapped peaks, calm waters, and pristine landscapes.
Visitors can enjoy short, accessible walks along well-marked trails, giving opportunities to spot native flora and fauna such as foxes, beavers, and a wide variety of bird species. The park is also rich in cultural history, as it was once home to the Yámana people, whose presence is still remembered in the area.
Beagle Channel Navigation
Enjoy a wonderful Beagle Channel Boat Navigation to enjoy the Les Eclareirs Lighthouse, the Sea Lions Island and the Bird´s Island
OUR RECOMMENDATION
I would highly recommend visiting Ushuaia for two days, as it gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy its two most iconic experiences before embark in your cruise trip to Antarctica or the Cape Horn. On the first day, you can explore the breathtaking Tierra del Fuego National Park, where the landscapes of mountains, forests, lakes, and the famous “End of the World” post office make it truly unique. You can add the unique Train of the End of the World!
On the second day, you will enjoy the Beagle Channel navigation, with the excursion called Isla de los Lobos. During this boat trip, you’ll get up close to colonies of sea lions, seabirds, and enjoy spectacular views of Ushuaia’s coastline framed by the Andes and the unique Les Eclareurs Lighthouse. In just two days, you’ll experience both the land and sea highlights of the southernmost city in the world.

DAY 2 - Ushuaia
Beagle Channel Navigation and transfer to pier
The navigation to the Beagle Channel called Isla de los Lobos (Sea Lion Island), is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Ushuaia. The tour usually departs from the port of Ushuaia, where small catamarans or yachts take you through the historic Beagle Channel, offering stunning panoramic views of the city with the Andes mountains as a dramatic backdrop.
As the boat sails along the channel, you’ll pass by various islands inhabited by colonies of seabirds such as cormorants and albatrosses. The highlight is reaching Isla de los Lobos, home to playful sea lions that you can observe resting on the rocks or swimming around the boats. The close contact with these marine mammals, in their natural environment, makes it a truly special moment.
During the navigation, you’ll also see iconic landmarks like the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, often mistakenly referred to as the “Lighthouse at the End of the World.” The combination of wildlife, pristine landscapes, and rich maritime history makes this excursion a must-do for anyone visiting Ushuaia. It’s a perfect way to feel the essence of Patagonia’s southernmost waters.
