Book the terrestrial walking tour months out; boat-only tours don't hit the same. Standing inches from Gentoo and Magellanic penguins on Hammer Island ruins every other wildlife encounter, making the $190 price tag feel like a steal. Spend an hour in the Acatushún Museum staring at massive, unfiltered whale skeletons that put typical natural history centers to shame. Bring your heaviest windbreaker for the Beagle Channel gusts—the weather here actually cares about your comfort.
