Yes, it’s recommended to book Beagle Channel boat tours in advance, especially during the high season (November to March), when Ushuaia receives the most tourists.
Here’s why:
-
Popular tours sell out early, particularly those with limited spots (like penguin walk tours on Isla Martillo).
-
Booking ahead lets you choose your preferred time, boat type (catamaran vs. small yacht), and tour length.
-
Some operators offer discounts or online-only packages.
