Perfect way to spend a day in the Tierra del Fuego area - Excellent full day small group experience. Guides were very knowledgeable and the pace of the day was perfect. Great lunch prepared on site in the great outdoors. Very nice hike on Gable Island. Day ended with an up close and personal visit with the penguins of Marilou Island

So glad I did this tour! - This was as described as all other reviews. If you only have a day, do this tour. The tour Guide Valetine was so great. He was very kind and very knowledgeble. The penguins were so cute. And really you don't need to walk on the island. They are all really close and you can get great photos. So glad I trusted the reviews and signed up to the tour.

EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING. - We traveled to Ushuaia for the 4th time to do this tour, for me at almost 87 years old, it was now or now. The experience and value it had for me and my wife, Rosa, exceeded what was expected. The kindness and service given by Santiago and Aldana from our first contact by phone from Buenos Aires 2 months before and once in Ushuaia, was unbeatable. During the Tour we received the same quality of service and kindness from Olmo, the main guide, Pablo, the secondary guide who was my guide (because of my age) during the 8K walk on Gable Island, Pato, the driver and chef. the excursion and, Mauri, the canoe manager. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TO THE WHOLE CANAL GROUP.

Phenomenal experience! - Had a phenomenal experience with Canal Tours in the Gable Island and Beagle Channel trekking and canoe excursion. Santiago was a perfect guide. Very friendly and informative and organized. Sol was a great driver. Mauro and Olmo were also wonderful guides with the canoe. I highly recommend this experience and these guides!

Best Part of our Trip - I loved everything about this tour. The guides were fun, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The activities were the right pace for us and the kids. The small group size was just right. Their food was great! Gable Island is stunningly beautiful. The penguins were really fun to watch. It was a perfect day and the highlight of our trip to Ushuaia.

Wonderful Eco Adventure Day - This was a terrific trip from start to finish. Pickup was timely, the guides were friendly, informative and helpful and lunch was excellent (and enormous!) The paddling was not too demanding and we were fortunate to have decent weather and to see a great deal of wildlife. Truly a first rate outfit.

Fantastic day out in Ushuaia - It was a great tour. Tamara provided fantastic commentary, views and lunch were beautiful, while canoeing and trekking not strenuous. Together with amazing fellow travellers it was an extremely memorable trip. Highly recommend!

Peaceful experience outside of Ushuaia - Seeing the penguins first and foremost. Rafting down river was enjoyable and paced to take in scenery
