We booked through gray line but the tour was led by Tourismo Selknam https://turismoselknam.cl/tour/tour-full-day-tierra-del-fuego-parque-pinguino-rey/. They were fabulous. Luis was our guide and he was entertaining and knowledgeable and fun. Yes it is a long day, but in our minds it was worth it to learn a bit about the area. We were able to see baby King Penguins!

The major part of the tour was fine. The guide was knowledgeable and personable.. We had to wait a long time for the return ferry.
