Isla Invernada Boats
Isla Invernada Boats leave from Costa Alta for the various balnearios (river beaches) along the western shore of Isla Invernada. They are all pretty similar, with sandy beaches, gregarious summer crowds, cafés, ice-cream stands, umbrella rentals, music, billboards and boats from the mainland. Bring plenty of sunblock.

Beagle Channel
Navigating the Beagle Channel’s gunmetal-gray waters, with glaciers and rocky isles in the distance, offers a fresh perspective and decent wildlife watching. Operators are found on the tourist wharf Maipú between Lasserre and Roca. Harbor cruises are usually four-hour morning or afternoon excursions to sea lion and cormorant colonies. The number of passengers, extent of snacks and hiking options may vary between operators. A highlight is an island stop to hike and look at conchales, middens or shell mounds left by the native Yahgan.
