PrivatePenguin Paradise Tour, february 2026

5.00Our guide and driver was Michael. It so happened that we arrived earlier than the scheduled time—we were among the first to disembark from the tender. But Roxy immediately adjusted the plans, and we set off to explore the island. Although the morning weather wasn’t very favorable—rain and wind—we still managed to see Gentoo penguins and Emperor penguins. We visited two bays; unfortunately, in the second bay there were only two lonely penguins. But of course, that depends entirely on the penguins—where and when they choose to be. On the other hand, we saw a fur seal in another bay. Many thanks to Michael for the interesting facts about the island and its history. We were able to stop along the way at our request. Michael drove us around, told us about the town, and recommended suvenirs shop. Thank you and we recommend to take this tour. Katerina and George
Amazing tour with multiple wildlife experiences

5.00Unforgettable experiences- saw 3 different types of penguins (King, Gentoo & Magellanic) plus watched a sea lion try to get to some of the penguins. The weather was great despite the high winds. Enjoyed hearing all about the history of the Falkland Islands as well as seeing the cute town of Stanley. Our guide was amazing & we really enjoyed the packet that Roxy provided which included a stamped postcard that we mailed. Highly recommend this tour.
Rude treatment and ignored and charged twice.

5.00Lupin Tours is a personal, family run, tailored visit to two Penguin locations, historic sites, lots of very interesting information about the Islands and finishes with a tour of Port Stanley. Our Guide and driver, Roxy, is a seventh generation member of a longstanding Falklands family, and also mother to the next generation in this beutiful Country. Roxy introduced us to the Falklands with such real pride and passion, answering all our questions about life and living in the Falklands. The drive to each location presented beutiful views, scenery, wildlife and a peek in to life of the people who live on these incredible islands, a truly wonderful experience. The two penguin locations we visited were similar, and yet very different, both had nesting areas, beach entry and exit points, and were stunning locations, but that’s where the similarity ends. The first location was very public, complete with toilets, admin area and good control to protect the Penguins, but not too crowded. However, the second location was very private, Roxy, my wife and I were the only people there, an amazing experience, priceless! Watching Penguins going about their business is fascinating, amusing and something we could have watched all day, we gave them a wide birth to help protect them, an outstanding privilege. I would recommend Lupin Tours without any hesitation whatsoever soever! Thank you Roxy and Lupin Tours for such a wonderful day.
Lots of penguins!

5.00We toured the island with Roxy the owner of the company. She was lovely, laid back and an excellent driver. She took us an hour and a half out of Stanley in her 4x4 we went right onto the beach. We were very close to the penguins. It was fabulous. She had a home made lunch for us too! We went to 2 different beaches to see penguins and finished up with a driving tour of the town.

5.00This tour provided a chance to see some of the island, learn about life there, and, of course, see penguins! Roxy had been very helpful in planning this tour and patiently answered all my questions. Our 8-year old grandson was with us, so she had a Falklands activity book and colored pencils to provide entertainment for him on the drive to Bertha's Beach. We had as much time at Bertha's Beach and Gypsy Cove as we wanted. Shawn (hope I spelled her name correctly) was an accomplished driver and gave us much information about the island and life there. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience! We would certainly recommend this tour.

5.00Our guide Paul was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the area, joked around with us, great sense of humor. Took us to 2 different penguin colonies, stopped when we wanted to take pictures on side of road. He even went out of his way to show us different areas around the city we had questions about. Definitely recommend this company and request Paul again
Windy day, but we were treated like VIPs!!

5.00We took the Penguin Paradise Tour to Bertha's Beach. The penguins there were amazing and we even got lucky and saw 3 King penguins on the beach. Our tour guide, Nigel, was friendly and kind. He was a great drive - I could not drive over all that uneven terrain at Bertha's Beach and at Gypsy Cove as well as he did! We did Bertha's Beach first, then headed to Gypsy Cove. Before we did the Cove, Nigel found us a spot to eat our lunch that had been specially packed for us by the tour company. It was delicious and we enjoyed homemade dessert bars, Falkland beers and hot coffee! It was super, super windy that day so by the time we finished lunch, we had decided we didn't want to do that long walk at Gypsy Cove so we asked Nigel if we could just go back into town for souvenir shopping and end the tour early. He was agreeable and said he would do whatever we wanted, so that's what we did. I think the crazy wind had just worn us out by that point! On the way back into town, Nigel pointed out the best gift shops as well as supermarkets that we could walk to. All in all, it was a memorable and beautiful day in Falkland Islands! We highly recommend Lupin Tours for anyone that wants a VIP experience!
Excellent day out.

5.00We had a great time during this excursion. We were lucky to have good weather and managed to see three different types of penguins and in abundance. The owner of the tour operator Roxy was there to meet us at the port personally and Mike our driver was very informative and a very down to earth person. He added an extra stop to visit the memorial of the British ships that were lost during the war with Argentina. Thus the trip was longer than the time specified in the itinerary. The vegetarian lunch including home made cakes, along with hot and cold beverages was great. The excursion may seem pricey but I would thoroughly recommend it as it is good value for money.
