Canoeing, wildlife, and hiking in the Beagle Channel

Itinerary

Your day begins with a hotel pick-up in Ushuaia between 8:00 and 8:30 AM. The journey heads east along National Route 3 and then along the scenic Route “J” until you reach the Lasiphashaj River. There, you’ll receive a safety briefing and gear up with rubber boots, waterproof overpants, and life vests before launching inflatable canoes into the river.

You’ll paddle down the Lasiphashaj and out into the Beagle Channel, enjoying views of local birdlife and possibly sea lions. After about two hours, you’ll arrive at the historical Estancia Harberton, where a motorboat awaits to navigate toward Martillo Island. From the boat, you’ll observe a penguin colony in their natural habitat.

The navigation continues to Gable Island, where a delicious Patagonian lunch will be served, including a starter, butter-lemon hake papillote with rustic potatoes and thyme vegetables, and a panna cotta dessert, accompanied by Patagonian red wine, soda, and mineral water.

After coffee, your guide will lead you on a peaceful hike across Gable Island. Depending on your chosen route, the walk takes 2 to 2.5 hours through landscapes marked by native flora, ancient Yámana relics, and colonial traces. The atmosphere is tranquil, broken only by birdsong and wind.

The adventure ends with a zodiac ride back to Puerto Harberton and a return by bus to Ushuaia, arriving around 6:30 PM.
