Isla de los Pájaros, situated in the Beagle Channel near the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, offers a unique snorkeling experience focused on the island's base. The seabed is characterised by a dense covering of mussels and sea urchins. Access to this site is exclusively by boat. Due to the nature of the environment and the local conditions, this site is considered suitable for intermediate snorkelers. While the island is known for its significant avian population, the underwater environment is defined by its specific benthic composition rather than diverse marine fauna.
