Experience in 4x4
Excellent Service. The Hernan guide was very helpful and his information clear and comprehensive. As soon as he heard that there was a vegetarian with us he immediately took action to find an alternative to asado. Very careful to make us live the wonderful day immersed in silence and nature. I recommend the beautiful experience. Thank you.

Landscape
Stunning views the Diego was a guide 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lunch in the cottage by the lake very good. I loved repeating without a doubt, tb loved to take a walk in the afternoon and see the sunset.
Response from the operator: Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência! Que bom saber que você curtiu o passeio, as paisagens e o almoço na cabana. O Diego vai adorar saber do seu elogio! Vai ser um prazer te receber de novo – e o passeio da tarde com o pôr do sol é realmente imperdível. Até a próxima aventura com a gente!

Off road 4x4 in family and with children
Feedback on the 4x4: It was the best walk we've ever done here. The roadmap is very well thought out, the landscapes are beautiful and our Guide was extremely competent. Careful, polite, kind and a very nice company. The information he gave us was essential to enrich the tour. The tour was done with 3 children who also loved. We saw foxes and had the company of dogs accompanying the car, which made it special. The meals were full and very tasty. I recommend and when we return to Ushuaia we will repeat. Thank you!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lakes off road: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ushuaia.
How much does Lakes off road cost?
+
Prices start at $145 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 Lakes off road take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Lakes off road worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 38 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 Lakes off road?
+
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 Lakes off road suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lakes off road?
+
Around 13 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lakes off road 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 Lakes off road?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; Lunch; Tea and coffee; and Specialized Local Guide. Not included: Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lakes off road include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 51 listed pickup locations in and around Ushuaia. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lakes off road offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lakes off road?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Lakes off road if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Ushuaia. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
