5.00Zac gave us a great tour of the Falkland Islands to berthas beach and around Stanley. He is unfailingly polite and eager to please and provided a very British lunch for us at Bertha’s beach! He is very enthusiastic and enjoyable to chat to about life on the Falklands and his family history there.
Unforgettable experience

5.00It was very enjoyable and entertaining tour. Pre tour communication was clear, they waited for us at the pier upon arrival. We have very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide (was a lady, sorry I forgot her name). On the tour we visited 3 different beaches and saw multiple colonies of Gentoo and Magellanic penguins. At stop at Gypsy Cove was an overlook of the beautiful scenery and stunning ocean views. Highly recommend this tour.

2.00Our tour guide Hailey was outstanding. I feel they should have cancelled the trip because it was raining and blowing a gale. We drove 1.5 hours to Bertha beach and spent two minutes looking at penguins because we were wet and freezing cold from the wind. We then went to the lighthouse and saw nothing as it was under construction We were given lunch of a sandwich and a bag of chips coffee and tea. We paid a lot of money for the tour and did not get value.

5.00Libby and Zak from Bound travel were the consummate hosts (guides) to their beautiful island. Zak with deep roots to the island and his beautiful partner Libby made us feel welcome and well-taken care of.

5.00The guide was fantastic!! She drove us to all the right places and we viewed penguins, dolphins, whales and sea lions. Cannot say enough good things about the tour and the guide. Go with Bound Tours!!

5.00This trip was all that we hoped and more. We arrived earlier than expected at Stanley and Libby was able to accommodate our early arrival by starting the tour earlier than scheduled. Berths Beach was stunning with white sand and gentoo penguins in abundance. We then went to Gypsy Cove to see Magellanic penguins and had a wonderful view over York Bay. We saw two large sea lions at the local lighthouse followed by a lovely lunch with the option of local beer provided by Libby. We also had a tour of Stanley which though small was very interesting. Throughout the tour Libby was knowledgeable and friendly and told us so much of what life is like living in Stanley as well as being well informed on all that we were seeing. We would highly recommend doing a tour with Bound Tours and would love to return to see more of these beautiful Islands.
Great excursion, perfectly organized

5.00We had a very good contact with the host, who responded very flexibly to changes in the arrival times of our cruise ship. The trip itself was very good as expected, you got very close to the penguins, also a few king penguins got lost to Bertha Beach.
Fantastic guides and tour operators!

5.00Fantastic 4-person tour! Libby was not only a great guide, getting us to popular sites before the buses arrived, being flexible in what to show us, telling us about living on the Falklands, and still providing lunch (with a local beer) despite us being called back to the ship early; but also she and Zak were great communicators before the tour, allaying any concerns I had about the possibility of our cruise not being able to tender in.
Like travelling with a friend.

5.00It was a pleasure sharing Libby’s love of her island. We were able to see Gentoo, King and Magellanic penguins and she gave us a great overview of life on the Falklands.

5.00My husband and I had an outstanding excursion with Bound Tours recently. From the minute we stepped off the ship and were greeted by Libby until our return, everything was exceptional. Libby provided options on locations which allowed us to see as much as possible during our visit. She generously shared her knowledge of the local wildlife, and we were fortunate to see a variety of penguins, sea lions and a whale that was extremely active. Libby was also incredibly kind in sharing details about her and her family's life on Falkland Island, which truly enhanced our experience. We had the pleasure of meeting some family members in person and they were extremely gracious! Many thanks to Libby and Bound Tours for making this excursion a top highlight of our trip!
