1.Shore Excursion – National Park Tierra del Fuego

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 169 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Review of Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego National Park shore tour, with scenic stops, cruise pickup, price, group-size concerns, and practical advice.

“The tour bus was not in the best of shape. The windows were foggy for the first portion of the tour so we couldn't see much. The sound system was not working very well so we had trouble hearing the guide and her accent was very marked and combined with the broken sound system we had trouble understanding her. The park itself was very nice with some beautiful vistas.”

2.Tierra del Fuego National Park, Ushuaia City Tour Shore Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 154 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $119

Review of Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego National Park shore excursion, with scenic stops, city views, costs, transport tips, and honest advice.

“This was a long ride on a rainy day, so the experience would certainly have been different if the weather had been cooperative to enjoy the beautiful day in the woods. I was disappointed that we did not see the "end of the world Post Office", but I had been mistaken in my interpretation of the tour.”

3.Cruise Shore Excursion Peninsula Valdes – Pto Madryn – Patagonia – Argentina

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 111 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $95

Review of the Peninsula Valdes shore excursion from Puerto Madryn, with wildlife, costs, travel time, guides, lunch, and booking advice.

“First thing you need to know is that the peninsula is BIG, really big. And covered with nothing but scrub and guanacos, so not too much to look at. It is a long drive to get anywhere, and you will spend most of this tour in a vehicle. That said, we got great views of penguins, seals and sea lions (didn't see anything else but that was just unlucky). Our guide Fernando was very helpful and accommodating and we had a nice day.”

Walk among Magellanic penguins, see sea lions and elephant seals, and enjoy a Patagonian lunch on this long but rewarding Puerto Madryn excursion.

“Excellent tour. Excellent tour guide. Excellent vehicle. Excellent penguins and sea lions and seals, looong ride 2 1/2 hours each way but worth it on paved and gravel roads 99% smooth, food mediocre at best—bring power bars, excellent toilets too. Just do it.”
