    The tour itself was great. I didn’t receive my hotel information or confirmation until I actually landed in Ushuaia. The boat is operated by Intrepid, and I would give them the 5 star review. Participants who booked directly though them had opportunities to pick rooms, book additional tours and activities that are literally once in a lifetime experiences. By the time I even heard about them they were sold out or too much time had lapsed for “last minute” bookings. Book with intrepid directly, it’s worth it. They are very organized!
