Local knowledge is everything! We had an unforgettable tour of the wildlife around Port Stanley in the Bound family 4x4 - as a taster for their tours for 2026/2027 when we stopped for a day on the Islands from our cruise ship in January 2025. They showed us all the incredible wildlife spots in reach of Stanley - Gipsy Cove, the Lighthouse and York Bay and we spotted seals and all varieties of penguins. Their land rover is perfect for off-roading and challenging terrain not to mention the fun!
