    One of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Argentina. We walked so close to the pinguins. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and professional and they had the safety of the birds as top priority, ensuring we all followed the rules.

    Do it. Do it. DO IT. This is a MUST DO in Ushuaia area. Don't think you're walking on some island with the penguins 50-200 meters away with decent views. Nope. You're walking AMONG THE PENGUINs so close that you have to watch where you walk to NOT collapse the underground nests! You can hear them. You can see them in detail. You can SMELL them. You're practically a PENGUIN on this trip/tour. Quick boat ride gets you out to the island. Easy time getting from small boat to the shore, and the guides helped ALL that asked to disembark. Once you land on the pebble beach of Isla Martilllo... there. they. are. Penguins at every turn with their crazy cute walk and their interesting calls (think a donkey for one and Chewbacca from Star Wars for the other). You'll have an hour on island to talk a MILLION photos and videos.. and you will NOT have to zoom that camera or cell phone of yours. Just point and enjoy. This is a LIFE EXPERIENCE. It seems priced high, but you won't find a better opportunity to walk among 2 of the 18 penguin species on earth. FANTASTIC.

    Walking amongst the 7000 strong colony . The museum was also very interesting and the local guide taught us a lot about the differences between the various classes of sea mammals .
