Gable Island, Penguin Rookery, and Harberton Ranch

Itinerary

This full-day, active tour takes up to 20 passengers for a ride, to navigate, to walk and to make discoveries in one of the roughest and most beautiful places in the Beagle Channel. The amazing tour to Gable Island and Harberton Ranch.

Away from tourist crowds and in the middle of the Beagle Channel, Gable Island is a place recommended worldwide by word of mouth that offers intact nature and history in the present tense. This area shows an infinite and primordial landscape, magical and extreme. Surrounded by sea and silence, where only the wind and the birds are heard, you can experience the sensation of being alone in the world and in contact with nature.

From the hotel, we leave Ushuaia Eastbound along National Route No. 3 and Route “J”. Once at Harberton Ranch we propose to visit the Marine Mammal Museum “Acatushún”, and the surroundings of one of the first white men settlements in Tierra del Fuego.

On board a motorboat we will leave towards Martillo Island. From the boat, we’ll have the chance to see penguins in their breeding lair. Navigation on the motorboat continues up to the main attraction of the day: the enormous Gable Island, where lunch with a good Patagonian wine, soft drink and mineral water await.

After coffee, were go for a hike to know more of this gorgeous island, crossing over beaver damms and through the forest to reach the Beagle Channel shore where we’ll take the boat to reach Puerto Harberton, and to hop on the bus that will leave us back in our hotel.
