Did you look at TAM airlines? You should

Ushuaia, February 2012 we arranged with Mario Miraglia, a taxi driver with vey good English, to show us the town, the national park in a morning tour. Mario also answered many questions about life in Argentina and in particular this outpost at the end of the world. About $US150 for the taxi which could seat four. Three broad hipped passengers in the back seat might be a bit squeezy. mariomiraglia@hotmail.com

 

We had a very good king crab lunch at a waterfront restaurant recommended by Mario and in the afternoon we took a joy flight in a small (3 passenger + pilot) aircraft from the Ushuaia Aero Club. Easy to get around the town on foot or by hailing a passing taxi. I am sorry that we didn't have time to visit the historical museum housed in the former goal. Other passengers said the train ride to the national park was over-rated and very uncomfortable.

 

We took Silversea's excursions from Punta Arenas to an estancia outside town and from Puerto Mont to the lakes and volcano, also a considerable distance from the port. Both were very enjoyable.

 

I don't know what is available in these two cities or the other ports you are visiting. The CC rollcall might give you some ideas. I hope you enjoy the cruise.

$US 150?? R U crazy? this means a lot in Argentina, about 900 pesos argentinos, it's expansive 4 a tour
