Review of Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego National Park shore excursion, with scenic stops, cruise-port pickup, guide quality, group-size concerns, and value advice.

Explore Peninsula Valdes from Puerto Madryn with an English-speaking guide, boxed lunch, penguins, elephant seals, and wide-open Patagonian scenery.
“This excursion was extremely disappointing. Viator should remove this excursion permanently!

Walk among thousands of Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo from Puerto Madryn, with lunch, wildlife stops, and cruise-port pickup.
“Super fun day! The van was nice and air conditioned, we got there before everyone else and spent time on the path without a lot of people around. Maria was awesome and told us about the area on the long drives. There were so many penguins!!”
