National Park Tour for Cruise Passengers, Train Extra

About This Experience

This tour is set up for cruise passengers: the guide meets the group at Ushuaia's Tourist Port, and the minibus brings you back there about five hours later. Guides speak English, Spanish and Portuguese, and a bottle of water is included. The tour averages 4.4 out of 5 from 43 reviews. One reviewer suggests reminding the guide of your all-aboard time, which is sensible advice on any shore excursion.

The minibus heads first to the End of the World Train station. Guests who have bought a train ticket ride for about an hour along the last 7 km of the old prison railway, while the rest of the group takes a guided walk with time for photos. Everyone then meets up again and continues into Tierra del Fuego National Park together, through forests of native lenga and ñire trees.

Inside the park the tour stops at Lapataia Bay, where the sign marks the end of the Pan-American Highway, then at Laguna Verde, Lake Roca and Zaratiegui Cove. Lake Roca is now officially named Lake Acigami, and you may see either name. The End of the World Post Office at Zaratiegui is often closed, so expect to see it only from outside. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or travelers with limited mobility.

The End of the World Train ticket is listed as not included, and the national park entry fee is extra too: ARS 40,000 for foreign visitors since 1 June 2026. One cruise passenger reports that the operator sent a payment link for the train the day before and that the park fee was paid before boarding. The price was $120 per person for an 8 October 2026 departure, the same as the listed from-price. Tips are not included.

Good to Know & Caveats

• Every visitor needs a Tierra del Fuego National Park ticket: ARS 40,000 for foreign visitors since 1 June 2026 (Argentine residents pay less, and children aged 0 to 6 enter free). It can be bought online in advance from the national parks service.
• End of the World Train tickets are not part of this tour's price, and one traveller reports receiving a payment link for the train the day before.
• The End of the World Train sells out in December to February, when most cruise ships call, so train seats for those months are best booked early.
• The End of the World Post Office at Ensenada Zaratiegui is often closed, so don't count on going inside.
• Keep your ship's all-aboard time in mind; one traveller suggests reminding the guide of it.
• Weather changes fast in Ushuaia and snow is common from June to September; warm, waterproof layers are needed in every month.
