Kayaking through the Strait of Magellan and the fjords of Tierra del Fuego is a rare kind of wilderness adventure—one where the remoteness hits you immediately.

This 7-day expedition runs in mothership mode, meaning you paddle each day from a comfortable support boat that travels with you.

That setup lets you reach far-flung fjords and coastlines without having to camp in the cold or haul gear, just pure paddling, wildlife, and wild landscapes by day, and a warm place to sleep at night.

The route takes you past the southern tip of mainland South America, by places like San Isidro Lighthouse and Cape Froward, and deep into whale territory in the Francisco Coloane Marine Park.

You’re likely to spot humpbacks, sea lions, dolphins, penguins, and more—all from the seat of your kayak.

At one point, you’ll also go ashore to hike in Karukinka Natural Park, exploring ancient forests and windswept ridges while learning about local conservation work.

You don’t need to be an expert paddler—guides are there to support you, and gear is provided. The weather can throw everything at you in one day—sun, sleet, wind—but with the mothership as your base, you’re well taken care of.

It’s a true Patagonian experience: bold, beautiful, and completely unforgettable.
