This experience has been crafted exclusively for cruise passengers disembarking in Ushuaia who have one day to enjoy an authentic adventure in Puerto Almanza before setting sail again. Below, we’ll explain how this unforgettable day will unfold:

Meeting and Transfer
– Meet at the ship’s gangway.
– Depart in a comfortable van with an expert guide bound for Puerto Almanza: a 75 km journey through glacial valleys dotted with meandering rivers, lagoons, and peat bogs, with views of snow-capped peaks that herald the beauty of the Beagle Channel.

Arrival at the Fishing Village
– After approximately a 1 h 30 min journey, we arrive at the picturesque home of local fishermen.
– A brief historical introduction to the village and an explanation of traditional king crab harvesting techniques.

On Board the Boat
– Embark on the boat for a 15-minute cruise out to the marine nurseries.
– Thrill of hauling in the nets: each passenger will take part in harvesting their own king crabs, guided at every moment by expert local fishermen.

King Crab Lunch
– Return to the hosts’ cozy restaurant.
– Delight in a three-course lunch tasting:

  1. Beagle Dip as starter.

  2. Fresh king crab prepared in the traditional regional style.

  3. Typical Fuegian dessert.

Return to the Cruise
– Time to share impressions and unwind after the meal.
– Transfer back to Ushuaia, arriving at the pier in time for your departure, carrying with you the memory of a day that combined adventure, nature, and Patagonian gastronomy.

IMPORTANT: subject to the cruise’s arrival and departure schedule.

MEETING POINT: cruise gate.

⚖️ CANCELLATION POLICY: 100% refund if the cruise is unable to dock due to weather conditions.

Tour's Location

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Due to the changing weather conditions and the possibility of rain, we recommend dressing in layers—like an onion. This way, you can remove layers whenever you feel warm.

WILL I HAVE INTERNET ACCESS DURING THE TOURS?

The spirit of visiting the End of the World is to disconnect a bit from everything. Our vehicles are equipped with Wi-Fi, but once we leave the city and head out onto the road, there’s no phone signal or mobile data coverage.

CAN I BRING PETS ON THE TOURS?

No, unfortunately pets are not allowed on the excursions.

WHERE IS THE MEETING POINT FOR THE TOUR?

For this excursion, we’ll pick you up right at the cruise ship gate. Once you’ve made your reservation, we’ll contact you to confirm the pickup time.

WHAT’S THE WEATHER LIKE IN USHUAIA?

Wind and cold dominate year-round, with an average temperature of 6°C (43°F). The weather is highly unpredictable—within a single day, you might experience sunshine, rain, and even snow.
