Este espectacular crucero en catamarán es una experiencia única para ver los mismos paisajes que vio y oír los mismos sonidos que oyó Charles Darwin cuando navegó por el Canal de Beagle en el famoso barco del mismo nombre.
Desde el puerto de Ushuaia, el catamarán zarpa hacia un viaje inolvidable por los impresionantes paisajes y maravillas naturales que rodean la ciudad por todos lados. Al dejar atrás el puerto de Ushuaia, disfruta de las magníficas vistas panorámicas de la ciudad más austral del mundo y de su extraordinario entorno, con las cumbres de las escarpadas montañas como telón de fondo. Mientras escuchas el comentario que va informándote sobre los lugares de interés turístico, el buque se abre paso por el Canal Beagle y bordea la Isla de los Pájaros, hogar de gran número de especies de aves, que incluyen una gran colonia de cormoranes.
Luego el barco navegará alrededor de la Isla de los Lobos, una formación rocosa en la que viven muchas focas y leones marinos.
El catamarán cuenta con dos espacios cerrados para quienes prefieran resguardarse de los elementos y una cubierta al aire libre para los más aventureros. Si eres aficionado a la fotografía y te gusta la naturaleza, no te faltarán ocasiones para plasmar con tu cámara las maravillas de la Isla de los Lobos cuando el capitán se acerque a su costa. Durante el trayecto de vuelta a Ushuaia, pasarás por el curioso faro del fin del mundo, en Les Éclaireurs. La travesía dura alrededor de 2 horas y media.
