  • Penguins were amazing!

    Truly wonderful experience with the penguins and quite an “adventure ride” getting there. Had some difficulty with the brakes failing in the return which caused us some stress. Rather than move us to another vehicle, they chose to continue transporting us with failing brakes. This was not safe and should not have been allowed.

  • Top notch experience

    Absolutely fabulous experience. Had Jimmy the boss and he was great to talk to during the 2 hour trip to King Penguins galore and very up close. He had the land rover which wasn’t as comfortable as his Land Cruiser so maybe ask for that if you are nice. He was so informative and knowledgable of not only the Falklands but general world. Lunch sandwich was super tasty. Highly recommended. Super close up photographic opportunities

  • King penguins everywhere!

    This was the highlight of our trip and so grateful that our ship managed to get into Port Stanley. Weather wasn’t very inviting so we were soaked to the bone, but the fact we actually got there was an achievement. It is a long drive there but that is all part of the experience. Lovely to see the King penguins in their own environment along with their chicks. Roy our guide was very knowledgable and gave us a great insight into life in the Falklands. A great trip

  • Penguins as advertised

    It was easy to find the vendor on the pier - just as advertised. We had a great driver and the 4-wheel drive portion of the trip was a true adventure. The penguins were better than advertised and I say that even when we toured in a windy rainstorm. I gave this tour 5 stars, because it really was, but I must also mention one issue that we encountered. The tour was supposed to include bottled water and lunch. I sent 3 messages to the tour operator inquiring about a gluten Free meal for my wife and was told not to worry. After we saw the penguins, we came to the Land Rover for lunch and were told there was no gluten Free options. The operator said that he forgot and that he was going to own up to his mistake and not blame someone else. The problem is that the penguins are in the middle of nowhere and there were no options to purchase lunch. It would have been nice to have been told there was no lunch while we were still in town, so we could have purchased something beforehand. When we asked for bottled water, we were handed a thermos - also not what was advertised. I mention all of this for future travelers with dietary issues. The tour was great. I only wish the vendor had offered a small refund for the part (lunch and water) that we paid for but that was not available.

  • Off road Adventure.

    Great off road adventure. The ride across the island was as interesting as seeing the penguin colonies.
