This is a fun, shared tour which incorporates penguins, fantastic views and some short walks all in the great company of our local accredited guides who will share their knowledge and personal insights of living in a remote part of the world.
If you are arriving on a cruise ship, we will meet you at the tender landing area (Jetty Visitor Centre) for either the 9:00 or 12.00 departure time for the 2.5-hour tour.
The town tour takes in all the local landmarks and we offer the option to leave the tour at the Museum which is a short walk (10 minutes) from the Jetty Visitor Centre, or return to your pick-up point.
The tour does involve some walking over uneven ground so is not suitable for wheel chairs or those with mobility aids.

What To Expect
NB: 04/12/2025 Yorke Bay is again open to the public. In the event that Yorke bay is closed at any point during the season we will extend the tour to both the East (Sapper Hill, Wireless Ridge areas) and the West of Stanley (Cape Pembroke, Surf Bay) to ensure you enjoy the maximum coverage of the Stanley area. Please be assured that while there may be less penguins, the replacement content and quality of our guides will ensure that you will be well informed about all things Falklands from start to finish.
Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck
Lying at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley's most imposing and iconic shipwreck. Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched in Sunderland in the UK in 1879 and suffered damage whilst rounding Cape Horn in 1913. She limped into Stanley for repairs but the high cost prevented any being carried out. After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place. This is a favourite place to get pictures with the back drop of Stanley and the mountains to the West.

5.00Informative and entertaining. Our guide Sharon was born and bred Falkland Islander. Very knowledgeable about local wildlife and life in general on the islands. Would highly recommend to future visitors.
Fun Tour!

5.00This was a great tour. I learned a lot and had a lot of questions answered. The only thing was the problem with hearing the guide due to the speakers/microphone etc going in and out. A little rushed for people that had some accessibility issues like my friend.

4.00so I would not recommend this tour. The tour operator could not of been better! and the tour was, ok. but if you are coming to the Falkland Islands you need to spend the money and go to volunteer point. I guess I'd say it's gypsy cove that I don't recommend. which is where this tour goes. Yes, we saw penguins, and even king penguins, but you get what you pay for. And I just wish we had paid the money to see the best or most penguins. tour operator went over, beyond, and above! But I would recommend other areas over gypsy cove.
Great way to see the wildlife

4.00Trip was exactly as described and Rob, our guide, was interesting and informative. We saw Magellenic, Gentoo and even some King penguins at Yorke Bay. We had a bit of time to spare, so Rob took us to the lighthouse as well. I thought that the trip was a bit expensive for the length, but this seems to be the case on the island. I guess they have to make up for all the ships that don't get in, in which case we are very lucky! 😀
Great experience!

5.00Thank you Sharon and Hailey! Learned a lot about Falkland Islands. The visit to the dunes was fantastic.
Excellent day with Sharon and Kaps

5.00A really fun and informative tour . Sharon was an excellent guide , knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour, who was ably assisted by her driver Kaps . Sharon and Kaps between them paid care to the less able walkers in the group while ensuring that this did not impact on other members of the group. Communication prior to the trip was excellent, especially considering that a change of cruise itinerary meant arriving a day earlier than scheduled. Thank you Sharon and Kaps for a fantastic day , we do enjoyed meeting you and the penguins were an added bonus!
Nice tour
