The tour was excellent throughout.
We did not opt for the operator to pick us up from our hotel as we were staying just a few minutes away. We reached the booth easily and immediately found our group.
The boat is easily accessible and the indoor seating are is comfortable and warm. Most importantly, it offers great views from its large windows. Inside, we really enjoyed the explanations in English given by the tour leader. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The captain and crew were also very nice!
Just a few minutes after departure we were able to go outside and enjoy the vies of Ushuaia. The sailing was very smooth and we reached past the tiny island with the iconic lighthouse, where the captain allowed enough time for everyone to take in the view and take some pictures. We were also very lucky to see not only sea lions but also a sea elephant! Again, enough time was given for everyone to enjoy the view of these beautiful creatures and take photos. Everyone welcomed the warm drink (coffee, tea or hot chocolate ) that awaited us inside.
We then stopped on Bridges Island and followed a very easy path up to a viewpoint, stopping to see some interesting flora along the way. While the short trek is partly uphill, I stress that it is very easy and manageable. In fact, the path is no steep at any point and the pace is slow, which was ideal for me. Good waterproof shoes are ideal, I was glad to be wearing some due to the mud.
The journey back to Ushuaia port was smooth and, once again, you get great views of the city, its port and its surrounding mountains as you approach.
The fact that the boat is small in relation to others available made it very easy for everyone to enjoy the views and to take their time with photos. The friendliness of the tour guide, the captain and the crew made it even better.
Highly recommended!
