Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Live life as a local on a five-hour culinary adventure that introduces you to the small fishing village of Puerto Almanza and the lovely locals who live and work there. Begin with a scenic drive to the southernmost fishing port in Argentina, where almost everyone in the village is dedicated to specialized fishing and crabbing. A local family will welcome you aboard their zodiac to venture to a special fishing spot. Take in the picture-perfect surroundings of snow-capped peaks against a bright blue sky. When you feel pressure on the nets, pull together to raise them, revealing a bounty of succulent king crab which will be brought back to their home kitchen. Here, you'll learn the prepartation of a true Patagonian-style king crab meal. After tasting this succulent delicacy, bid farewell to your gracious hosts and return to port.

Special Notes:

Minimum age is 15. Tour operates rain or shine but may be cancelled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Ushuaia's weather is unpredictable; conditions can change suddenly partway through the tour. In the event that the conditions are unsuitable for guests to be in the boat, the captain reserves the right to go out in the boat alone to retrieve the crabs; the decision is made by the captain when it's time to board the zodiac. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing in order to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion. Outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf.
