Ushuaia: Gable Island and Penguin Colony Experience with Canoes
Duration
11 hours
Overview
-
Once on the Lasiphashaj River, preparations will begin to paddle inflatable canoes down the river and the Beagle Channel. Rubber boots, trouser covers and life jackets will be used to paddle downstream and through the sea.
Already in the Beagle Channel, the wildlife of the place will be appreciated: a variety of seabirds and it is also possible that sea lions are sighted.
Once the paddle is finished and the hull of Estancia Harberton is reached, a motor boat will be taken in the direction of Martillo Island.
From the boat you can see penguins at their breeding site. The motorboat navigation then continues to the main attraction of the day: the huge Gable Island, where lunch awaits us with a good Patagonian wine, soda and mineral water.
After a coffee, start the walk to explore this wonderful island.
After about two hours of walking, you return to Puerto Harberton by zodiac, to take the bus to Ushuaia.
