Audley in The Falkland Islands
Our first-hand knowledge of the islands, the accommodation and the excursions available means that we will ensure you get the most out of your visit by creating a trip tailored just for you.
Getting there is an adventure in itself - we use either the weekly LAN service from Santiago via Punta Arenas (ideal if you are already on a trip to Chile), or you can travel on the RAF service from Brize Norton via Ascension Island. In either case you land at the military base of Mount Pleasant from where you will start your tour.
Travelling between the islands is by the FIGAS (Falkland Island Government Air Service) eight seater twin-engined Islander aircraft which act almost as a taxi service.
We will design your trip to suit your specific interests, and your trip will probably take in Stanley plus one or two ‘Camp’ settlements (Camp is the term for any settlements within the islands that are not Stanley).
Accommodation
Apart from in the capital Stanley, accommodation in the Falklands Islands is in family lodges or self-catering cottages within the settlement. Standards vary, for example en suite facilities are not always available, and guests are generally expected to dine and socialise together. Your hosts will act as your guides to the local sights.
Not all of the islands are currently open to visitors, and there are also some other lodges scattered throughout East and West Falkland that are not mentioned here.
Our partners in the Falklands keep us up to date with all the tourism developments as they happen.
An alternative way to visit the islands is as part of an Antarctica cruise that stops off here, please see the separate section for further details.
