About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Oly6420 contributionsGreat National Park VisitPatricia was an outstanding and experienced guide who showed us through the National Park. She updated us while we traveled and explained the flora, fauna, history, geology, etc. of the park and Argentina! She took great photos as well!Written 3 March 2025
- Gail58_130 contributionsExcellentExcellent tour of a lovely National Park. Our guide Patricia and driver Lucas were lovely and very informative about the tourWritten 31 December 2024
- Love2TravelLuxfromCA0 contributionsBeware of changes and difficult refund processThey advertise departure times on their booking and then they make changes last minute which doesn’t work when you have a flight or other plans. Then they give you problems and treat you rudely when a refund is requested because they made the changes to the tour plan. Do not recommend working with this company.Written 13 November 2024
- L6063TQtracyc0 contributionsGreat visit to national parkOur tour guide Patricia was extremely knowledgeable. She took our group to all of the key sights and showed us best places to capture great photos. She really made the tour. Good information on meeting location provided beforehand.Written 22 March 2024
- Shawn H0 contributionsShore excursion in UshuaiaWe booked this excursion as an alternative to a ship excursion. We got a whatsapp message the day before confirming our tour which was reassuring. Our bus and guide were waiting on the pier and left on time. Our guide was very informative and spoke very good English. We seemed to be ahead of the wave of other tour busses and there were many. We were given enough time at each site and saw the sites we were supposed to see. We were given the option to be dropped off at the ship or in town. We thought the tour provided good value and would recommend it if you are visiting UshuaiaWritten 14 February 2024
- A2528MYgarym0 contributionsGreat shore excursionThis was a memorial trip to the national park Tierra del Fuego. Our guide Sofie exceeded expectations and spoke highly of the history and area. (in 2 languages). The scenery was amazing and the town was great to walk through at the end of the tour. Only slight downside was that 3 ships were in town and the stops got a bit crowded at times.Written 9 February 2024
- 602vishnur0 contributionsAmazing experience with Penguin Expeditions!Penguin expeditions was super friendly and helpful. They accommodated my many needs and requests and were incredibly responsive. Would 10/10 use them if you are planning a trip to Antarctica or Ushuaia!Written 3 January 2024
- somuchtoseec0 contributionsA clear sunny crisp day at the end of the road... pretty views and interesting cityNice to have the coach waiting for us once we left the ship. I thought we were on a smaller van and was surprised by the bus. It wasn't completely full so that made boarding/exiting go fairly quickly. Great driver and very knowledgeable tour guide, former teacher. He made a point of sharing pictures and ensuring everyone saw the materials he had. Very good english. It was busy at the park. But, if you lingered awhile most of the crowds would move along and you could enjoy the views. Took a few minutes on a side trail, absolutely empty! Stop at Post office was a pretty view and there was time to explore along the trail if you didn't want to wait in line. Our guide was thoughtful to share that we could get a certificate and have it stamped at the visitor center by the pier. All for free. Also space there to sit for awhile and write out those post cards. Nice rest room and friendly staff. The park visitor center was busy but exhibit area was fairly quiet. Guess most folks already knew everything! Especially enjoyed the option to walk from the VC along the lake to parking area. Again, very quiet and just our group. Glad our guide offered to do this. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Some waterfowl also. In spite of being on a large bus and it being cruise ship day I enjoyed the park. A clear sunny crisp day. Would've liked more time to take a few more side trails but appreciate our guide taking a stroll with us. Great chance for some awesome photography. Enjoyed time afterwards walking along the water front, getting some ice cream to use up those Argentina Pesos; and picking up a new travel mug and a pendent.Written 29 March 2023
- Eduardo G0 contributionsGreat for the lazy adventurerIt hits all the sites without any of the walking. The end of the world sign, end of the world post office, and a couple of lakes. You can also do the train if you like, but it’s not obligatory.Written 27 February 2023
- DJS5369550 contributionsNP Tierra del FuegoThe coach was waiting for us on the quay, it was around 30 minute drive to the park. Overall it was relatively scenic with some good views of the mountains and lakes. Unfortunately it was very busy with many coach loads of people from the cruise ship, which all appeared to stop at the same place. We queued for almost 20 minutes at the post office to buy a postcard and stamps.Written 15 February 2023
- Myles C0 contributionsPretty poorLots of trees, dead fallen trees, 3 lakes. Boring. Only redeeming site was post office at the end of the worldWritten 29 December 2022
- cherepaxavika0 contributionsDisappointingWhile the guide and the driver were very friendly and knowledgeable, I did not like the trip. The company was recommended by my apartment host, so I went with it, and was not impressed. The tour was rushed — we only had 15-20 minutes at each location, spending the rest of the time in the car. The surroundings were magnificent, but we were not able to enjoy them at all, being rushed back into the van. If this were in the tour description, I would not have booked it.Written 21 January 2022
- perfect_fan20030 contributionsNational park Tierra del FuegoWe had no problem with the tour van, guide and driver. In the park, we took a walk. The scenery was not that impressive since we went there in March. I had my winter coat on. Besides the lake, there were no beautiful plants. The scenery may be different in December, January, or February. The most memorable stop is the southernmost post office in the world.Written 12 July 2020
- LouJH10 contributionsVery good service!We booked a last minute trip to Antarctica via penguinos and Rodrigo and his team gave us excellent customer service and his English was very good. We booked our tour from the U.K., penguinos sell lots of last minute tours to Antarctica and also day trips to ushuaia. Located close to the Main Street in ushuaia!Written 15 March 2020
- markuskZ5065PC0 contributionsGood trip - but only few walks and no snackThe tour was well organised and conducted. Nonetheless, the discription should change for there are no more longer walks and in no case snacks provided by the tour operator. For that only 3 stars - the tour itself is a must!!!Written 5 March 2020

The excursion was amazing, the landscapes of Lake Escondido and Lake Fagnano are breathtaking. The panoramic views of the mountains and lakes surrounded by pure nature are truly memorable.
The tour is accessible to all, not physically demanding, but allows you to enjoy the stunning scenery without rush. Ideal for people of all ages.

Know all the sights and history of Ushuaia. Know much more than the tourist agencies. It stops at all good points for photo and gives you time to make track.

Very nice experience, I would hire them back. In my case I went on the excursion to the Fagnano Lakes and hidden, and our guide was Kalilen who was predisposed to answer all our doubts.
The landscapes were amazing and the experience unforgettable.
Super recommended!!

With Pingüinos Expediciones we hire excursions to Lake Fagnano and navigation to the Beagle Channel, in addition to renting the car. Everything was perfect. The beautiful excursions, with a guide like Pablo who is very educational and knows a lot about history, which he told us throughout our excursion through Lake Fagnano and Escondido.

It was a beautiful tour. Guide's yesca.
The stunning landscapes.
The visit to the room and the history of the pioneers, whose children still live there, was very exciting.
I highly recommend it.
I also have to name the driver Victor, who was very charismatic, with many contributions.

Good excursion, Pablo was an excellent guide and very friendly. He understood the needs of the group and provided a lot of extra information, including showing us native weapons and a beaver skull. Very interesting.

Toda la excursión es muy linda. El lago Fagnano, majestuoso. Lo mejor de la excursión depende mucho del guía. Gracias, Rodrigo x tan linda experiencia. El cordero fueguino en Villa Las Cotorras, inolvidable. El café con cogñac, azúcar quemada, canela y etc etc, tremendo. Gracias x todo. Gracias a Tami x su excelente atención. Una genia es poco.
