An absolute must and, honestly, the only thing that makes ushuaia worth visiting. More

Pira Tour is the only group that lets you walk on the island with the penguins (instead of just passing by on a boat). Definitely a must! They're limited to 20 people per group (and 80 per day) so make sure you book early- less of an issue in the shoulder season when we went! Being a few feet away... More

This is most certainly a must see attraction if you are in Ushuaia between November and March/April. All in all the tour lasts around 5-6 hours including transportation to and from Ushuaia city, the visit to marine mammal museum and research facility and of course the main event, the walk on the penguin island. We got to spend about an... More

We arrived in late March and were fortunate that the penguins were still in residence on Martillo Island. Marcia, from PIRA Tours, did a wonderful job guiding us from the port to the Estancia Harburton and on to Martillo Island where we saw many Magellanic, Gentoo, and 1 King penguin, along with many birds. It was a truly unforgetable experience... More

Since this is the only outfit that gets to actually land on the island and restrict to 40 guests per day...book in advance...even before you leave home! It is worth the experience! The company is well organized and the guide informative. Our only complaint was regarding the drive back to town. My husband and I sighted a rare guanaco and... More

We did a couple of excursions in Ushuaia which were all quite nice but this one was by far the most memorable. A bus trip of approx. 1.5 hours and a boat ride of 10 minutes will get you to the island where you will be able to walk among hundreds of penguins who will not budge even if you... More

The experience of walking with penguins is amazing, a definite must do. Only problem is only this agency holds the rights for it and they provide a crap service. Take u in and out, without much help, just milking it. More

We did the tour during our stay in Ushuaia in February. We booked the trip two days before. There are four trips a day, with a maximum of 20 people/tour. We were happy with Pira Tour, good organizing of the trip, professional guides. There are 85 km from Ushuaia to Estancia de Haberton and after that a short boat trip... More

50 characters minimum for a review. How many OMG's Is that??? We had no problem finding the meeting/payment hut. Paid and went to the small bus. Great! We get the one with the small kids and very young ship staff whith high pitched squeals. Whoopee! Off we go. We made a couple stops to see the flag trees and a... More
