Our verdict

The cheapest way onto the Strait with a real guide, and the shortest commitment of the twelve. Choose it if your ship leaves the next day and you want to see the water without a 15-hour day. The fort itself takes 40 minutes; the value is the crossing, not the ruins.

Best for: Short stays in Punta Arenas and cruise passengers with a few hours to spare.
