“Nice way to spend a day and familiarize yourself with the national park. I spotted many trail markers during the tour. The train ride is kitschy and skippable unless you really enjoy scale model trains. Scenery is breathtaking. If you are new to area I recommend this tour. Afterwards, consider coming back on your own to hike.”

The second part of the tour - the end of the world train was also an amazing experience with beautiful scenery. The last part of the tour - the Beagle Channel boat was stunning. It was definitely worth it taking the longer version of the tour. We saw beautiful scenery and stunning wildlife.”
