The island also hosts a variety of birds, including cormorants, gulls, and petrels, contributing to its rich ecosystem.

We’ll start by exploring the Bridges Archipelago, a perfect spot to observe sea lion colonies and imperial cormorants up close. As we cruise along, keep your eyes peeled for an array of seabirds, such as seagulls, petrels, skuas, rock cormorants, albatrosses, and steamer ducks.

The journey continues with a stop at the famous Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse — a historic landmark rising from the channel’s crystal-clear waters. Heading further east, we’ll pass isolated buildings and quaint coastal settlements.

Our adventure culminates at Martillo Island, where we’ll find a vibrant colony of Magellanic Penguins, along with a smaller group of Papua Penguins. Observing these charismatic birds in the wild is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
