The scenery and wildlife of the Falkland Islands continues to take our breath away, visitors are blown away by what they see and experience.

To get your penguin fix we head straight to see the penguins at Gypsy Cove and Yorke Bay. At these two locations you'll see 3 of the 5 penguin species the Falklands has to offer!

We provide homemade lunches & snacks wrapped in unbleached compostable packaging. Our favourite place to enjoy the food and drink is at the lighthouse with the beautiful views. We will eat inside/outside the vehicle (weather dependent).

The tour covered most of the highlights in Port Stanley. Especially thrilled by the unexpected sightings of 4 seals on cape pembroke where we had a picnic lunch, when we got our first tasting of the rhubarb cake. The guides also took us to an extra stop to see the king penguins. We got to see lots of gentou penguins in the lovely Yorke bay, got a chance to hike near gypsy cove where we saw more gentou and Magellan penguins.
Excellent Day

This is the best tour we have ever taken in our lives. Mike is an amazing human being. He is a great ambassador for his country, and his love and knowledge of his land are evident. My 4 and 7-year-old daughters enjoyed this experience immensely. The sandwiches and details were exquisite. This is a must-do tour, done with a lot of heart and love. We are very grateful to Mike for this beautiful experience that we will never forget.

Paul our driver was fantastic . He was very knowledgeable about Stanley island and very personable. He drove us over the island and through the town. He brought with him homemade sandwiches and drink and it was very good. We enjoyed getting to know Stanley and Paul and the excursion was fantastic.
