Arrive Ushuaia and transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure. Here the Andes meet the ocean and Ushuaia is a friendly place to wander and has an excellent prison museum which is worth a visit. As the capital of Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia is on the Beagle Channel and has snow-peaked mountains as a backdrop. It is a great base to base ourselves for the Tierra del Fuego adventure.

A short drive takes us to the Lasiphashaj River, where we will launch inflatable kayaks and paddle down the river into the Beagle Channel. These boats are fun and stable and instruction will be provided. Paddling through the Beagle Channel, we must keep our eyes peeled for a wide variety of seabirds and, on the way to Harberton, glimpses of sea lions playing in the waters around us.
On reaching Harberton, we transfer to a motorboat and set off for Martillo Island. From the boat, we will have the chance to see nesting penguins. We continue on our navigation to the main attraction of the day: the enormous Gable Island. Here, we will find lunch and a glass or two of good Patagonian wine awaiting. After coffee, we will explore this beautiful island on foot, crossing over beaver dams into the forest to emerge on the Beagle Channel shore. From there take the boat to reach Puerto Harberton, and drive back to Ushuaia.

Today we head into Tierra del Fuego National Park and canoe down relaxing rivers and across lagoons to the picture-postcard bay of Lapataia with its own micro-climate and birdlife. We'll hike (3 hrs) through charming scenery to Lake Roca before an afternoon of canoeing on southern waters, all the time surrounded by spectacular scenery. We finish today back in the beautiful bay of Lapataia.

This morning we sail the Beagle Channel to the famous Les Eclaireurs conically shaped "lighthouse at the end of the world!" Complete with red and white stripes this is the perfect finale to our time in Tierra Del Fuego. After sailing the straits we depart to the airport for a flight departing after 3pm. (If late flights are not available we can book you extra hotel nights/transfers)
