isla de los pajaros

This island has a lot of birds that "wants to be penguins". They look like pengus, act as pengus but are not pengus. They fly and they are not cute as pengus. Is a must seen.

It´s nice to see when you are on the boat tour, but there´s nothing special. The tours are really fast and you stay looking at the birdsfor 5, 7 minutes...

The vessel was smooth and staff very good. Not too many penguins at the colony but that could be the time of the year. The whole trip was 6 hours however there is food an drink on board you you wish to buy. The seals were interesting and despite the strong wind the whole trip was comfortable.

If your in Ushuaia, you must add this to your list of things to do. I guarantee that if the weathers good you won't be

We took the morning Pira tour to see the penguins on the island in the beagle channel. Maybe due to the fact we have just returned from Antarctica it didn't have the same positive effect we had imagined, but for $800 pesos each I was expecting a lot more. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but working with limited resources.The museum at the end of the tour is interesting, shame we didn't have more time here.

this is an island in the beagle channel and our boat stopped here for quie a while so that we could watch the bords. the boat even turned around so that people who were sitting on the other side could view it from their seats in the cabin. we were on the open deck to enjoy the full atmosphere and it was great

They just lie there as if they are posing for pictures. Rain or shine, take your camera and lots of memory cards when you come here. I always took lots of pictures when I came here.

stunning views from the catamaran on beagle channel. so surprised and delighted coming upon isla de pajaros. the boat ride on the beagle channel also gave one awesome magnificent views of the snow capped mountains, the city and other islas with sealions etc. heartily enjoyed the excursion.

We booked our excursion with Piratours and were very pleased. We went to their downtown office the day before to book the tour and get our instructions, etc... I am glad we gave ourselves some time prior to because we did not have windbreakers with us and had to purchase some. I highly recommend making sure that you are properly clothed. It is cold and windy on the island.The tour left on time and our guide was a local who was extremely knowledgeable. She provided commentary most of the way to our departure point (approx. an hour and a half away). We stopped on the way at a location where all of the trees have been blown sideways (check out the pics), due to the constant heavy wind. We arrived at the departure point, which is housed on private land and includes a marine research museum. The ticket with Piratour includes admission to the museum, which houses a multitude of fossils and specimens. Pretty neat. You take a boat to the island, and access is limited to a certain number of people at a time. You are given STRICT instructions not to touch the animals, even though they run right up to you and seem to beg to be touched. It is just absolutely amazing to see all of these penguins in their natural habitat. This island is a nesting site, so you see the penguins in many of the stages of their development. They are amazing animals and very entertaining to watch.

You will pass through it while making the Chanel Beagle navigations. Its very pretty and a part of the Patagonia Experience.

The boat trip is good fun, well explained and offers great views over Ushuaia and the islands in the Beagle strait. As for me the best part of my stay in Ushuaia. You can't go there and miss it!!

Forma parte de la navegacion por el canal de beagle, me parecio plata mal empelada o tal vez tenia las expectativas muy altas! No lo recomiendo, solo si tienes bastante $$ y tiempo de sobra. Se pueden hacer excursiones mas lindas y gratis

Sempre bom conhecer mais sobre animais tipicos da regiao e a visita estava incluida no passeio de barco. Então...

Passeio comum, não vi nada de diferente que valesse a pena. pássaros que parecem gaivotas e o barco mal se aproxima, porém a ilha fica no trajeto da Isla dos Lobos e da Pinguineira.

Primeira parada do passeio de navegação pelo Canal de Beagle. É interessante observar como os passaros ocupam a ilha toda e fazem dela seu refugio.
