“The route was changed, including certain stops location and there was no way no know about it. Reached out to Viator help chat and no clarification was provided. The bus experience is good to get a feeling of the city but I would just recommend walking and taking metro otherwise.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $291

Travel from Ushuaia to Harberton Ranch and Martillo Island for a guided walk near wild Magellanic and Gentoo penguins.

Expect a long day, extra cash costs, cool wind, and roughly one hour with the penguins.

“The tour itself was wonderful. The logistics of booking was a bit concerning. Viator booked through a 2nd agency that booked through a 3rd agency. When we arrived at the hotel, they didnt know where to send us and when we arrived for checkin, we had no idea which agency to speak to. Then once arriving at 630am, we were told we could not checkin until 730am (with our kids waiting!), even though I had called to confirm the night before. My advice, book the tour with a local agency and NOT through viator!”
