Ushuaia Beagle Channel Flightseeing Excursion

[Mercruiser]

We went on a very interesting and unique excursion. If you want something very different from the run-of-the-mill bus trip or harbor cruise, read on.

 

 

The airport is just across the harbor. You can see our ship, Azamara Quest, above the propellor.

 

 

This is Bahia Yendegaia in the Yendegaia National Park of Argentina. There is a glacier in the distance. We are flying over the Beagle Channel looking NW.

 

This mountain peak is across from Yendegaia National Park. I don't know the name of the mountain, but it is in Chile on the south side of the Beagle Channel.

The city of Puerto Williams in Chile. They claim to be the southernmost city in South America because they are on the south shore of Beagle Channel.

Here are the details.

We booked the 60 minute tour. We did not go over the mountains, as shown in the map, because it was too windy in the mountains, which would have been very turbulent. We flew over the Beagle Channel.

 

Price: The price was less than a lot of the bus tours with Azamara. I thought this was an excellent value.

They will respond on WhatsApp. You will also communicate with them by WhatsApp the morning of the flight to confirm that the weather is good. Our appointment was for 10:00 am. We were contacted at 8:30 by our pilot, asking if we could come early, before the winds picked up later in the day. We did that and had a great flight. Sure enough, it got very windy in the afternoon.

 

This flight was conducted by an aviation club. This is not a tour business. I learned to fly in an aviation club in Spokane when I was 16 years old.
