    David_H · December 2025

    Nothing to do with fishing or opportunities to fish.

    We totally enjoyed today's trip and our tour guide, Fagundo, was fantastic. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed our meal in Peurto Almanza. We chose the Mountain Menu and were pleased with our choices. Now for the negative. Viator does a poor job describing their tours. I can only surmise it's for ticket sales. This tour for instance had nothing to do with fishing other than being told that this area is where they crab fish or have muscle farms out in the water. Did we enjoy the trip, yes because our guide was great. Did we do everything we expected. HECK NO! And that's Viator's fault. I do not recommend using Viator. Some people told us that they use a different booking company for booking activities and I will do the same in the future.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail, David. We’re very glad to know that, once again, your day with us was enjoyable and that Facundo made a strong impression. It’s great to see his name come up consistently in your reviews — he truly enjoys connecting with travelers and sharing the local way of life. The Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza is designed to showcase the culture, scenery and flavors of this small fishing village through its people and its cuisine. While the area is closely tied to artisanal fishing and shellfish farming, the experience itself is not a fishing activity, and no fishing is included. As you mentioned, the main source of frustration came from how the tour was presented on the booking platform. The experience you had on the ground is exactly what we operate and communicate directly, and we understand how misleading descriptions can shape expectations before arrival. We’re pleased that, thanks to the guide and the meal, the day itself was enjoyable and memorable. Thank you again for sharing your perspective across multiple tours — it helps highlight both the value of the experience and the importance of clear information before booking. Warm regards, Mara

    Excellent service, more than recommended

    The truth I want to highlight from the first message consulted about the excursion until the end of the excursion, the truth that I value very much the effort of Estefanía Bonansea (seller of the excursion) as well as of GABY the driver who made us experience the Route of the Centolla on Thursday, July 4, the truth that is remarkable the good service that they offered a tourist, every detail, every information as well as Estefanía's concern to be able to move heaven and earth to be able to do that excursion, HOPEFULLY I can return again and continue to count on the good service of the Company and these boys. Very good service in everything. To a very good season ahead. Successes and hit it all. Barboza Alan

    Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza cost?

    +

    Prices start at $165 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 Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza?

    +

    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 Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza?

    +

    Around 3 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ushuaia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    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.

    What is included in Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza?

    +

    Included: round trip transfer; Snacks; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 53 listed pickup locations in and around Ushuaia. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Gastronomic Tour in Puerto Almanza offered in?

    +
