Bridges Islands
The Bridges Islands are a small group of islands located within the Beagle Channel. Travelers visit this site primarily via boat tours to observe the coastal scenery of the channel and view local wild bird species in their natural habitat.
Getting There
These islands are accessible only by water. Boat tours depart from the port areas in the Ushuaia city centre. The journey to the islands typically takes between 1 to 2 hours depending on the specific tour itinerary and weather conditions.
Duration of Visit
Most visitors spend between 30 minutes to an hour circling the islands as part of a larger navigation tour. Because the islands are viewed from the water, the time spent depends on the boat's schedule.
When to Visit
Tours operate throughout the year, though weather in the Beagle Channel can be unpredictable. Visiting during the southern summer (December to February) provides longer daylight hours for sightseeing. These tours are popular and can get crowded during the peak summer season.
Combining with Other Attractions
Since the islands are part of a boat excursion starting from the city, you can easily combine the trip with other nearby sites in Ushuaia:
- Plaza Islas Malvinas (7.8km)
- Museo del Fin del Mundo (7.7km)
- Maritime Museum at the Presidio of Ushuaia (8km)
- Martial Mountains (13.4km)
