What people are saying about Ushuaia Department

A great introduction to the National Park - canoeing, hiking, and sight-seeing; plus a delicious lunch with wine! The full day tour was excellent! Guides had everything well-organized. I would highly recommend!

Wonderful experience, small group made the trip. Penguins up close. Various activities, boat row around fun with group, however rather pointless. Recommend.

All very well organized, it was fun, interesting and exciting despite the prejudices I had for this kind of activity.

Very friendly and competent guides. And good english speaking. Vi liked the tour, not touristic and small group.

Very good mix of activities, and the lunch tasted amazing !
