This is a pretty touristy trip. Good to say you've done it and followed in the footsteps of the great explorers and the scenery is stunning. But it's billed as taking you to a seal colony, cormorants etc and in your mind you are envisaging seeing raw nature and the wild so it's a bit of a disappointment. You go past a little craggy outcrop with a few seals on, but it almost feels staged and like they have been plonked in there with some fish and trained to wave at the tourists! Not the case I'm sure, just slightly underwhelming vs my expectations and what it was billed as. Kids would probably enjoy it though.

We had contracted Patagonia Explorer. They have small ships for around 20 people, providing guide in Spanish and English. The tour was about 4 hours including a small trekking on Bridges island and views of different islands plenty of birds and seals.

We were on a small cruise ship on our way to and from the Antarctic Peninsula when we were in the Beagle Channel. The wildlife in the channel was just spectacular. Dolphins, whales and lots of birds. Even though I was on a cruise, I would still recommend it to all who visit Ushuaia for any reason other than embarking on a cruise.

A peaceful cruise out to sea through this lovely channel. The mountains were topped with just a few snow caps, as it is the end of summer there, but still awe inspiring peaks and valleys. The seals and dolphins joined us, jumping through the waters in a playful race with the ship. I was glad for the clear day, albeit windy.

The Beagle Channel is a gorgeous peaceful body of water that is the perfect place to begin and end an Antarctica expedition. My wife and I boarded our expedition ship while our ship was docked in Beagle Channel on a beautiful February day. Before we set sail, we had great views of this beautiful channel. The waters were calm and the horizon towards Antarctica seemed to be endless. Once we set sail the waters remained calm and formed a gorgeous vision with Ushuaia in the background. We really appreciated the calmness once we were sailing in the notorious Drake Passage!

As we returned to Ushuaia after an amazing expedition, the calm waters of the Beagle Channel welcomed us and let us know that this part of our journey was nearing its end.

This is a must do !! Our catamaran seated about 44 passengers and was a delight . Our young lady tour guide was so informative! We got to see both the Chilean and Argentine sides of the Beagle channel. We stopped just off islands with many sea lions, another island with countless Imperial cormorants and other varieties,
and then finally a stop at the Harberton Estancia. There we were able to tour the historic ranch and have lunch. Finally we were able to go out in groups of about 20 by high speed boat to enjoy a stunning hour long walk among the huge penguin colony. The mountains along the channel are lovely, like parts of coastal Alaska. A boat tour is the best way to enjoy viewing the Beagel canal.

Ushuaia, notably the most southerly city on the planet, accessed via the Beagle Straight. The approach is undoubtedly a highlight so get there an hour or so before docking; preferably two hours, and bring your camera. Larger than its Chilean neighbour Ushuaia is surprisingly large with all of the amenities those getting off of a cruise ship could ask for including that all important pharmacy.

Modern in places, the rest as I imagined, a modern take on a prospecting town - a little rough and rugged but more than good enough. Two hours is enough to walk around the city taking in the jaw-dropping scenery and browsing the independent stores.

There are boat tours along the Channel that bring you up close to the to colonies of birds, seals and sea lions. Penguins may be seen also if your luck holds and you are observant. Don't confuse the black and white birds that fly with that elusive penguin photograph you promised everyone at home. Visiting the channel is a must.

6 hours in a very noisy boat to see few birds!
The woman talks a lot and sometimes she put a very noisy music.
Completely waste of time and money.
To be true I didn't like Patagonia at all.
Very dry place and boring.

We took a boat on the Beagle Canal from the Port in Ushuaia It was very windy & bitterly cold. Needed to review geography!! Half of the Canal is Argentinian the other half is Chilean. some islands are Argentinian some Chilean It's a good think that there are good neighbors. We limited our outings because of the cold. Still we got to see the seals & penguins

Amazing experience. Highly recommended. Expensive but worth the cost. Really well looked after by crew and guides, 2 Zodiac landings in different places each day including Cape Horn. Sailed Beagle channel and many others - glacier overload! If want to do a cruise in style this is the trip. Perhaps 160 on board , all inclusive, great food wine and company.
