The Kayaking tour in the Beagle Channel, located just a few kilometers from Ushuaia, invites you to explore the legendary waters that have been navigated for over 7,000 years. The Yámana people, indigenous to this region, once traveled these channels in their delicate tree bark canoes. Traditionally, women rowed and dove to gather shellfish, children watched over the fire on board, while men led the way with harpoons in search of sea lions.
Using expedition double kayaks, we paddle through these historic waters to discover pristine beaches and awe-inspiring landscapes. Along this route, the waters marking the boundary between two neighboring countries allow you to experience kayaking in the iconic Beagle Channel, guided by expert professionals who provide all necessary equipment and ensure your safety throughout the adventure.
This excursion also includes a complete lunch box and all the essential equipment needed to fully enjoy this unforgettable experience.
