Your ship calls at Punta Arenas for one day — the gateway to Magellanic penguins, the Strait of Magellan and the end of the world. We are a local operator based here, not a reseller: our own vehicles, our own bilingual guides, small groups.

From the pier

to the city centre
Flexible timing, close to the port, and a return you control. The surest choice when your hours ashore are counted.
Half an hour from the pier, trails climb through lenga and coihue forest to lookouts over the Strait and, on a clear day, Tierra del Fuego. Easy pace, bilingual guide. Some trails are accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Tuesday to Sunday, minimum 4 travellers.

The history of the end of the world: the reconstructed 1843 fort at Port Famine, sweeping views over the Strait, and the story of the settlers who forged the region. On land, just south of the city, easy to time around your ship.

A heritage tour of the wool-boom capital: the palatial mansions, the cemetery, the main square and the great sagas of Antarctic navigation. Starts and ends in the city, so it fits almost any call.
See tour and times →A morning on the Strait that starts after your ship berths and has you back before lunch.
A boat trip on the Strait to watch Peale’s and Commerson’s dolphins, plus sea lions, cormorants and the shoreline Magellan first sailed through in 1520. Pick-up is after most ships have berthed and you are back by midday.
See tour and times →It is the most famous trip out of Punta Arenas, and it does not work when you arrive by ship. The boat sails on a fixed schedule: hotel pick-up at 06:00, departure 07:00, back at 11:00. Most ships are still berthing when the van leaves, and the afternoon sailing returns too close to all-aboard. We have tried it in past seasons — we would rather tell you now than have you miss your ship. Staying overnight in Punta Arenas? Then it is a different story: write to us and we will book it for you.
If your ship stays late or overnight, these full days are within reach. Confirm the exact hours against your departure first.
Cross the Strait by ferry to the only King penguin colony outside the sub-Antarctic islands. A long, rewarding day — best for extended or overnight port stays.

A full-day expedition into Francisco Coloane Marine Park to watch humpback whales feed in the fjords. Seasonal and weather-dependent.
