★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 75 reviews · 8 hours · from $158

Review of Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego trek and canoe tour, with forest trails, dome lunch, Lapataia Bay paddling, costs, and practical tips.

“We booked this tour as it was advertised as a thrilling inflatable canoe trip followed by a medium difficulty hike with rivers, forest, sea and mountain views in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Unfortunately it was not as described. The raft was fine but our guide spoke almost constantly with his colleague for around 30 minutes and offered no useful information. He ignored questions, gave no paddling guidance and stayed mostly silent apart from chatting. We could hear the other guide sharing facts and engaging with their group while ours did nothing similar. Our raft grounded several times and when entering Lapataia Bay in strong winds we received no direction…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 57 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $125

Trek through Tierra del Fuego to Emerald Lagoon with a small group, bilingual guide, lunch, hotel transfers, and muddy forest trails.

“This was a great trek. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the natural environment and spoke very good English. The trek was a little more strenuous than I though, but we also had a very windy and snowy day. A great tour to really see nature and have more solitude than some of the other tours offered in the area. The pick-up was on schedule and boots provided were perfect for our trek through peat bogs, mud, rocks, etc. Really enjoyed this adventure!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 16 reviews · 5 hours · from $100Best value

Review of Ushuaia’s Laguna Esmeralda trek, with muddy forest trails, glacial views, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Estávamos em dúvida entre fazer a trilha por conta ou com guia, e escolher o guia foi a melhor decisão. Nesta época do ano há muita lama, e ir acompanhado traz mais segurança. Foram fornecidos bastões de caminhada e o guia fazia pausas para explicar sobre a fauna e a flora locais. As paisagens são impressionantes. O dia estava lindo e tivemos uma vista maravilhosa da laguna e do glaciar.”

10.TREKKING IN LAGUNA DE LOS TÉMPANOS AND VINCIGUERRA GLACIER

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5 reviews · 7h 30m · from $170

Trek 14 km through Tierra del Fuego’s peat bogs, forest and glacier country to Laguna de los Témpanos for $170.

“We had an amazing day overall and found the hike to be absolutely beautiful. Also very much enjoyed the packed lunch and tea provided and having a beautiful view to sit and eat. Our guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable answering our questions as the day went on. The only feedback I have would be to set expectations about the hike in different seasons. In the description it talks about seeing ice caves, hearing the internal rivers and seeing crevasses - nothing we were able to do after being told that is for the winter time only.”
