You step off the quay in Ushuaia and the harbor wind immediately reclaims you — bracing, clear, and carrying salt and the cry of gulls.

The shared catamaran tour runs about three hours and typically passes Isla de los Pájaros, Isla de los Lobos, stops at Les Éclaireurs lighthouse for photos, and may allow a short landing on a Bridge Island.
The vessel and facilities are wheelchair-accessible and seating is available; however landings involve uneven terrain—check with the operator before booking if you require assistance.
Common sightings include South American sea lions, cormorants (imperial/rocky), black-browed albatrosses in season, and various gulls and waterfowl; sightings depend on season and weather.
Catamarans on this route include on-board restrooms; snacks and beverages depend on the operator—confirm provisions when you book.
