Private Tour

Happy Feet: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Private Penguin Experience

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

Led by a former Penguin Warden at Bertha’s Beach, this is a conservation-led, fully private wildlife experience. You will not share the vehicle with anyone outside your group, and the price is the same whether you are travelling as a couple or with friends (up to five passengers). A once-in-a-lifetime, private Falklands experience — not a bus tour.

The tour is paced around wildlife activity, focusing on quiet observation and allowing penguins and coastal wildlife to behave naturally. It visits some of the Falkland Islands’ most important penguin sites, guided by first-hand conservation experience rather than a fixed schedule.

What To Expect

Bertha's Beach

Your tour begins with collection from the jetty in Stanley, travelling to Bertha’s Beach — one of the Falkland Islands’ most important Gentoo penguin sites. The Gentoo colony sits on higher ground above the beach, where penguins rest, keep warm, and raise their chicks. From designated viewing areas, you’ll observe the colony before walking alongside the Penguin Highway, watching penguins travel between land and sea. Dolphins, seabirds, and wide open white sands make this an unforgettable stop. Bertha’s Beach is internationally recognised as a RAMSAR wetland of global importance and is also designated an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International — one of only two such sites in the Falklands.

Gypsy Cove

The tour continues to Gypsy Cove, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Falkland Islands. Here you’ll see Magellanic penguins, known for their burrowing nests and seasonal migration. A short walk leads to the historic WWII gun, offering sweeping views across Stanley Harbour where you can often see your ship anchored in the bay.
