how many miles of hiking each day? Is it light/moderate/hard?

Almost every day there is a hike that goes from easy to moderate

Do you recommend that we stay an extra day in Buenos Aires?

We definitely recommend spending an extra day in Buenos Aires if your schedule allows it. The city is full of vibrant culture, excellent food, and historical sites that are worth exploring at a relaxed pace.

Is there another excursions option for Ushuaia? I am doing this exact excursion while on a cruise in January 2026.

Here are some options in Ushuaia for you to consider: * There is a tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park with a train on the End of the World route. This historic journey will take you along the final stretch once traversed by prisoners, while you enjoy the unique landscapes of southern Argentina. The excursion includes stops at iconic locations such as Lapataia Bay, Lake Roca, and Ensenada Zarategui. * Penguin Walk & Beagle Channel Sailing tour. We can offer a tour from Ushuaia, combining a scenic bus ride and a boat journey to Martillo Island, home to a vibrant penguin colony. Accompanied by a guide, you'll spend an hour walking among Magellanic and Gentoo penguins in their natural habitat. Afterward, enjoy a 2.5-hour sailing through the Beagle Channel, observing sea lions, various bird species, and the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. The tour concludes with a return to Ushuaia by bus, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.

Does the Beagle channel day trip activity in Ushuaia include the Penguin reserve on Martillo Island? Would we be able to see Penguins on the Beagle channel trip or any of the other places on the itinerary?

Yes it includes the penguins at beagle Chanel

This was a very good tour, I loved to see all the glaciers and all hikes. It was a bit cold in some areas but amazing landscapes. All tour guides made this trip very good. You get what they promise and also more than that.
