Description
We sail southwest, approaching Los Lobos Island, where, from the boat, we can enjoy the sight of sea lions, observing their permanent habitat in a wonderful setting.
Continuing our cruise, we will head toward Los Pájaros Island, home to Magellanic Cormorants and Imperial Cormorants, and a prime spot for spotting marine birds.
We continue sailing toward Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, in the archipelago of the same name. On these islets, it's possible to see parts of the Monte Cervantes, a ship that sank in 1930.
Crossing the Beagle Channel north to south, we'll see Gable Island and the Puerto Williams Naval Base (located on Navarino Island, Chile). Upon reaching Martillo Island, we approach the beach and stay there. It's amazing to watch the colony of Magellanic penguins, which nest there during the summer, approach the boat with remarkable curiosity. You can see them swim under the catamaran and then emerge again. A celebration that invites us to take countless photographs. An unforgettable moment for the entire family that will remain a memorable experience.
From here, we sail back to the Tourist Pier, seeing Estancias Túnel and Fique along the way.

Repetiría sin dudar
Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. Los tiempos estaban bien calculados, no se sintió apurado. No teníamos idea de la historia de Canal Beagle. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. Que venga con catamarán con servicio de calefacción y baños hace toda la diferencia. La única queja es que no avisaron que había bastante escalera. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Vale la pena, con algunos detalles a pulir. Recomiendo hacerlo temprano, hay menos gente y mejor luz. La organización se notó, cero improvisación. La confirmación tardó un día en llegar y nos puso nerviosos. Vale la pena, sabiendo lo anterior.

Cumpre e sobra
Uma experiência completa. Nunca teríamos chegado a Encontro por conta própria. Das melhores coisas que contratamos pela internet.

Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. El ritmo era cómodo, ni corriendo ni aburrido. Nos encantó la zona de Panorámicas. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.

Muito felizes com a escolha. O ritmo era confortável, nem corrido nem chato. Vir com taxa portuária muda tudo. Não pense duas vezes, reserve.

A wonderful experience
Delivered everything it promised and then some. I did not expect catamaran with heating and bathrooms to be included, a nice bonus. Of the whole route, Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse is what I remember most. Some stops need more shade while you wait. Highly recommended.
