    Included in the Tour

    Harberton Ranch — where the history of Tierra del Fuego began

    Founded in 1886, Harberton is the oldest ranch on the island and the first permanent non-Indigenous settlement. Walking through its grounds is like stepping into the very history of the End of the World.

    Hammer Island — mixed penguin colony

    The journey to Isla Martillo allows for the sighting of Magellanic penguins and the small colony of Gentoo penguins — one of the few in the world where both species coexist in the same space.

    Gourmet lunch of fresh hake on Gable Island

    The tour concludes with lunch on the island featuring freshly caught hake from the channel and Patagonian Malbec wine. A finale that maintains the high standard of the rest of the experience.

Which one suits you best?

If you're looking for a full day with history, wildlife and gastronomy → Gable Island and Harberton This is the perfect option. Visit the oldest ranch in Tierra del Fuego, sail to Isla Martillo to walk among penguins, disembark on Isla Gable, and enjoy lunch with panoramic views. 10 hours including transfers and a full lunch.
If you want to walk among the penguins without spending the whole day → I chose Penguin Walk. You also disembark on Isla Martillo and take a 1-hour guided walk among Magellanic and Gentoo colonies, in a 7-hour tour without lunch included.
If you want to see penguins but prefer not to get off the boat → I chose Penguin Navigation. A 5-hour catamaran trip that passes by Isla Martillo, the lighthouse, and Isla de Lobos. Perfect for babies, seniors, or those who prefer to avoid walking.
If you want to see the Beagle Channel and the Lighthouse in just a few hours → I chose Beagle Channel. 3.5 hours of sailing available year-round. The shortest tour, without the penguin section, ideal for combining with another excursion on the same day.
