We had a great tour with Shawn who answered many of our questions about the animals and the administration of the islands. While the drive is long, it’s interesting to see the countryside and Shawn is adept at driving all the ruts and backroads. Best part was being just us on Whsle point with the herd of elephant seals all around and then the penguin colony molting onshore nearby. We forgot the cold windy air and enjoyed spending time watching them. Unexpectedly we were treated to a nice homemade sandwich while being on the seaside. Good vehicle for 4 people on very bumpy ride!
Fantastic tour in The Falklands

Fantastic day! Picked up from the port and our group of 4 had a private drive through the beautiful landscapes of East Falkland Island. Farrah gave us a great history lesson of the island on the way. Penguin colony was very interesting, as was the site near the beach where whales beached themselves many years ago, and their bones littered the ground. We then drove along the beach to see the elephant seals on the shore and along the dunes. We had a wonderful lunch after by the beach. Local beer was a plus and Roxy’s homemade desserts were the best! A city tour after on the way back to the port finished our day. Can’t thank you all enough! Dont miss this tour or any others by Lupin Tours.

A one of a kind experience to sea elephants and Pinguins in a remote area with no other tourists. You have to love of/shore diving of approx three hours. However, the driver and guide Sian was very experienced and knowledgeable.
