    3. During the summer season, we will walk along the coast or high pampa (we will hike one or another according to terrain and weather conditions, etc). For about 7 km (4.4 miles), spot the diverse flora and bird fauna of the Beagle Channel or the Fuegian forest, stop to contemplate the famous Beagle Channel on Ensenada Bay and enjoy beautiful views of Redonda, Hoste and Navarino islands as well as the remains of ancient Yámana settlements, natives of the area. During the winter season, you can decide to either walk along the wonderful Valley of Río Pipo or take the 'End of The World' train on a 1-hour long ride (Train ticket not included).

Afterwards, all participants will be equipped. Start your exciting 1-hour paddle journey from the Acigami Lake down the freshwater of Lapataia river aboard inflatable canoes (duckies). Depending on the physical conditions of your group, you may reach the sea in Lapataia Bay (canoeing is subject to weather conditions).

      180 minutes here

    5. At the end of the tour, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in Ushuaia. **Notes: The boats used are inflatable and they usually seat up to 9 people plus the guide.

    A good day out

    Well organised day trip combining a walk and canoe activity. The views were beautiful and I enjoyed the lunch (lamb stew).

    Response from the operator: Hi Sarah, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the combination of walking and canoeing, as well as the beautiful views along the way. Great to know lunch was also a highlight. Warm regards

    Fun day trekking and paddling!

    Fantastic day out. The trekking wasnt too strenous and the paddling was easy too, making it easy and enjoyable for all fitness levels. Be sure to pack waterproof clothes, because we got caught in the rain during the trekking and got soaked!! Our guide Berni made the day super enjoyable for everyone involved.

    Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the balance between trekking and paddling and that the day felt accessible and fun. Patagonia’s weather can be unpredictable, so your tip about waterproof clothing is very helpful for future travelers. Great to know the guiding helped make it such an enjoyable outing. Warm regards

    Highly recommend this trip

    This was an amazing experience! We had the best guide, Valentin, and we had a great hike and canoeing experience with spectacular views and a fabulous lunch.

    A spectacular park with the best guide

    This park is absolutely pristine. The hiking is more like walking, and an easy pace for most people. You go through stunning forests, pass by bays, and canoe through channels. It was a great way to experience the national forest. The guide, Valentin, was one of the most charming and engaging we have met. He made the group feel connected and the day fun. We had a delicious lunch mid-day. We were there in March and felt like we had the park to ourselves.

    Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $240 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 Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park?

    +

    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 Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park?

    +

    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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ushuaia: Full day Trekking and Canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park 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.
