Bertha's Beach

Get ready for a memory-making adventure! After a scenic one-hour, 15 minutes drive, we’ll reach a stunning destination where you’ll spend an hour walking among the penguins. These tuxedoed birds are known for their curiosity, so don’t be surprised if they waddle over to say hello! This once-in-a-lifetime experience allows you to observe these unique flightless birds in their natural habitat, alongside other small bird species and occasionally even distant sea mammals. Enjoy your packed lunch amidst the beautiful surroundings or during our comfortable return trip to Stanley in a mini-van. On the way back, we’ll showcase the city’s main attractions. The entire experience takes around three hours from pick-up to return, weather permitting.

Stanley

The Whale Bone Arch is one of the most iconic landmarks in Stanley and a powerful symbol of the Falkland Islands’ maritime heritage. Erected in 1933, the arch is made from the jaws of two blue whales and was built to commemorate the centenary of British administration of the Falkland Islands. It stands directly in front of Christ Church Cathedral, creating one of the most photographed scenes in the islands. The arch reflects the Falklands’ deep historical connection to the whaling industry, which played a major role in the South Atlantic economy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At the time, blue whales were the largest animals ever hunted, and the sheer scale of the bones makes the arch especially striking. Today, the Whale Bone Arch serves as a reminder of the islands’ seafaring past and evolving attitudes toward marine conservation, making it a meaningful landmark whether viewed up close or as part of a city drive-through tour.

    Amazing tour, fantastic host, awesome penguins, we felt comfortable with Balistra from Chile the moment we met. Host could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Some non critical feedback, a little more local info and facts delivered throughout the tour would have been appreciated, overall a tour guide rating of 9.5 out of ten. Not only do you get to go to an amazing penguin colony you see and begin to understand this amazing island as you travel to the penguins. Would we do the tour with Balstra again… 100% YES

    The tour was delayed for 1 hour without any solid reason. We did not have enough time to visit other points of interest, which was quite interesting for me.

  • Penguins wow!!
