Set sail in Patagonia on this 4-day cruise around Cape Horn and through Glacier Alley. View the magnificent blue glaciers of the region and hike through the pristine forests which overlook the sea.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Board the M/V Stella Australis 5:30 PM and settle in to your cabin. Attend a welcome cocktail reception, hosted by the Captain and his crew, and embark on your cruise through Patagonia. Set sail for the Strait of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
Sail through Murray Channel and Nassau Bay to reach Cape Horn National Park. The legendary Cape Horn was discovered in 1616 and is a sheer 1,394-foot rocky promontory. For many years, it was an important navigation route between the Pacific and the Atlantic, and is often referred to as the 'End of the Earth.' The park was declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2005.
In the afternoon, go ashore at historic Wulaia Bay, originally the site of one of the region's largest Yamana aboriginal settlements. Charles Darwin landed at the settlement in 1833 during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. The area is renowned for the mesmerizing beauty of its vegetation and geography. Take an enchanted walk through the Magellan Forest of lengas, coigues, canelos, ferns, and other endemic vegetation to reach a panoramic viewpoint.

In the afternoon, navigate along the Northwest arm of the Beagle Channel and reach Pia Fjord. Disembark and take a short hike to gain a panoramic view of the spectacular Pia Glacier, which extends from the mountaintops down to the sea.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
