Boat Tour to Martillo Island's Penguin Colony

From Ushuaia, to the east, this boat tour sails in the Beagle Channel to Isla de los Lobos (Sea Lions Island) and Isla de los Pájaros (Bird’s Island), strategic locations to see large cormorant colonies. Legendary Les Eclaireurs lighthouse, with its red and white tower, is also on this tour. Finally, the boat arrives to Martillo (“Hammer”) Island, with more than a thousand Magellan penguin’s nests and a small group of Papua penguins. This is one of the few places in South America where this last penguin species (recognizeble by a white patch on its head) can be seen.
