    1. Calaio Viajes y Turismo

      We depart from the port towards the west to visit a pristine and wonderful place which became a national park in 1960. After arriving at the park we will stop at Ensenada Bay where the End of the World Post Office is located. Here tourists have the chance to stamp their passports as a souvenir. FIRST HIKE " COAST TRAIL" LOW DIFFICULTY - 40 MINUTES LONG " : We start the first hike at Ensenada Bay, taking part of the Shore trail while enjoying the awesome views of the Beagle Channel and its wildlife. At this point, it is possible to see the flag trees ( trees bent by the strong Pacific Ocean winds). From there it is possible to observe the Murray Channel which was crossed by Charles Darwin and Captain Fitz Roy in 1830 when they discovered the Beagle Channel and interacted with the natives. It is also possible to get up close to archeological sites of 8000 years old, where the natives used to build their shelters. SECOND HIKE " CAÑADON DEL TORO"-LOW DIFFICULTY - 30 MINUTES LONG": After hiking through the peacefull Andean forest with an amazing landscape of mountains we will get to a viewpoint to appreciate one of the cascades of Rio Pipo, melted water that comes from the glaciers that empties into the Beagle Channel. THIRD HIKE " ROCA LAKE AND LAPATAIA RIVER "-LOW DIFFICULTY - 20 MINUTES LONG": We head towards Roca Lake, where guests can take a peaceful and charming walk around part of the lake, and part of Lapataia River taking magnificent photos. After a short stroll, we will arrive at a coffee shop where you will be able to purchase hot chocolate and/or snacks while enjoying the panoramic view of the mountains, forest, and rivers. I suggest you bring at least $20 USD for a snack at this stop. After our stop we will cross the Lapataia River, visiting the Cormoranes Archipelago, the Green Lagoon and the Ovando River. Finally, we will drive to the Lapataia Bay, the end of the Panamerican Highway, where we will see the famous Alaskan mileage -marker sign before returning to the ship. FORTH HIKE " LAPATAIA VIEW POING" LOW DIFFICULTY - 40 MINUTES LONG": We will walk beyond the actual End of The World (end of Tthe Panamerican Highway), surrounding Lapataia Bay where we will have amazing views of the Darwin Range which has the highest mountains on the island with year-round snow caps on the peaks. Next, you will experience a wonderful hike across the forest where we will observe impressive beaver dams. "If we are lucky, we may even spot a beaver or two." Afterwards, we will arrive at the end of the trail from where you will breathe the freshest and purest air in the world while delighting in scenic views of the mountains, the forests, the snow and the sea. Finally, you will ride in your comfortable van with your amazing guide, back to your ship.

    Awesome experience!

    This is a great option if you enjoy hiking and want more than just a few scenic stops. Along the way, you get history of the area and info on flora and fauna.

Exploring the history, flora, and fauna of the area truly makes the journey even more special. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another adventure!

    Great Small Group Tour in Ushuaia

    Our group of four had a fabulous tour in Ushuaia which included a hike in the national park a stop in the visitor's center, a ride on the end of the Pan American Highway, the opportunity to mail cards from the "end of the world" post office, and a photo op in front of the brand new Messi mural. Though the day was strenuous for our over 70 crowds, we all did just fine and thoroughly enjoyed our guide Giselle.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for booking this tour and your great review. Hope you can visit us again in the future...

    Hiking in Ushuaia

    Excellent tour ! Guide allowed us to modify our tour slightly depending on what everyone agreed to (there were 6 of us). Highly recommend this tour. The van was waiting for us at port exit. The hikes were not extremely strenuous (not a lot of elevation change).

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking this tour and we are glad to know that you really enjoyed it.

    5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.

    How much does 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $290 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ushuaia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ushuaia is not rushed.

    Is 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ushuaia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour)?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ushuaia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ushuaia and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5.5-Hour National park w/ hiking Shore excursion - USHUAIA (Private Tour) start and how do I get there?

    What are the best things to do in Ushuaia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ushuaia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vinciguerra Glacier Trekking and Premium Floe Lagoon, King Crab Route 4WD Off Road with lunch in Puerto Almanza, Tierra del Fuego National Park – Small Groups. Optional Train. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ushuaia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
