Rare SandyR5 Posted July 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2023 We want to book a private tour, hopefully with another couple on our roll call. The operator asked what we’d like to do…hiking, sightseeing or a combo. What shouldn’t we miss? What did you enjoy the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted July 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Boat tour to Martello island on the Haberton estate. You can walk amongst Gentoo and Magellanic penguins - wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayanaLorna Posted July 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Six of us did a small group tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park. Did 4 hikes in different areas. Saw the old train but did not ride it. Went to the end of the world post office. One hike ended at the terminus of the Panamerican highway. Had a snack break picnic of coffee or mate with homemade dulce de leche cake made by guides wife. Was spectacular excursion. Used AlmaCalma. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SandyR5 Posted July 13, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Thank you. I just wrote to them. Sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GeorgeCharlie Posted July 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2023 When we were in Ushuaia last December, ourselves and another couple used a local guide (Frederico) with Anan Turismo. You can contact Frederico at: ananturismo (@) gmail (.) com Although we did not do a hiking tour with him, he does offer several tours which include hiking. We did a review of our cruise and you can see our comments on Ushuaia/Frederico starting at Post #116. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorMomInNC Posted January 16 #7 Share Posted January 16 Anyone ever book a car to do Tierro Del Fuego National park? We are planning to do this in the a.m., a little out of my comfort zone though, any feedback appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SandyR5 Posted January 16 Author #8 Share Posted January 16 We used Alma Carma tours. 4 of us had the best day in Tierra del Cuego with Nicholas. He is so knowledgeable and so nice. He will customize your tour and do whatever you’d like. We did 6 hours with him. We did light hiking all around and had the best time. We saw everything! Why do it yourself?

We decided NOT to do the car rental because it appears that Celebrity will take our passports when we board, and we need the passport to rent the car. We weren't 100% we would be able to get them for Ushuaia so we decided not to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have pre booked a taxi that will take us to Tierra Del Fuego & wait while we visit the sites and take a few short hikes. It’s about the same cost as the car rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SandyR5 Posted January 24 Author #12 Share Posted January 24 Is the driver taking you to the different sites? Will he explain what you’re seeing? We hiked in 4 different places and learned so much about the native population and the history. I wouldn’t do a ship tour, but think about a private tour with a few others from your roll call.
