About Shark Cage Diving Hermanus

A guide for your day with the penguins

Ushuaia Penguin Tour is an independent guide for everyone who wants to see the penguins of Martillo Island from Ushuaia. Here you will find where the boats leave from, how a boat trip differs from a walk among the penguins, when the penguins are there, what the tours cost, and where the king penguins of Tierra del Fuego really live.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: official tourism bodies such as the Ushuaia tourism office, the Tierra del Fuego tourism institute and Chile's official tourism site, zoological references, the operators' and Estancia Harberton's own pages, and the WMO climate normals published by NOAA. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide. If a source does not provide something, we do not write it.

Penguins keep their own calendar. That is why we also tell you when the colony is empty and which tours only pass the island by boat.

How we make money

Ushuaia Penguin Tour is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.

Who is behind it

Ushuaia Penguin Tour is run by Lukas Weber from München. You will find all details about the provider in the legal notice. The easiest way to send questions, comments, or corrections is to email [email protected].
