Faro Les Éclaireurs
A rocky island in the middle of the Beagle Channel, opposite Ushuaia, with an iconic lighthouse over 100 years old, and colonies of sea lions and birds. It's the second stop on the Beagle Channel cruise; the boat only lingers around it for a few minutes, and you don't disembark. It's a stop along the way, but very beautiful; the ultimate goal is to see the penguins.
This catamaran is very touristy and crowded, but it's the cheapest cruise on the Beagle Channel, and I think it's essential to take it once you reach this far south (although you can enjoy the views peacefully throughout the trip, as everyone is seated). Other more expensive but better options are to go to Cape Horn and back. It has two other stops: Bird Island and the penguin colony on Martillo Island.
