Reasons To
Visit The Falkland Islands

  • History

    If you go to the islands for the wildlife the chances are you will come back fascinated by the history. It is not all about the 1982 conflict and with the current changing face of the islands a new chapter is currently being written.

    History

  • Penguins

    There are few places in the world where you can sit, alone, in a penguin colony with 1000's of birds and 95% of these spots have to be in the Falklands. If you are lucky you can see 5 species of penguins in one day in one place; Gentoo, Magellanic, rock hopper, king and macaroni.

  • People

    Not only are they incredibly welcoming but they are so knowledgeable and aware of the environment in which they live. Being guided around an island by one of the three inhabitants is a pleasure in itself.

  • Remoteness

    How many places have you been in the last ten years that still rely on 2-metre radio to contact anyone? Leave your mobile at home because, outside Stanley, it won't work.

  • Scenery

    There may well be a well earned reputation for barren and wind swept lands - but they are truly beautiful and virtually untouched by humans.

  • Wildlife

    The islands teem with a massive array of wildlife, from tiny land birds that survive in pest free environments to enormous elephant seals and beautiful black browed albatross, not forgetting the flightless wasp that have evolved to cope with the wind.

Accommodation in The Falkland Islands: Port Howard Lodge

This is a great place to stay to see a functioning settlement, although the population is only around 25% of what it once was. Stunning scenery and great hosts make it even better.

Port Howard Lodge

Port Howard

Susan was born in Port Howard and as a young girl worked as a maid for the Manager of the farm dreaming of the day that she would own the grand old house.

Having lived in England for 21 years she felt the need to return to the Islands and when the opportunity to buy her former employers house came up she jumped at it and brought Wayne back to the Islands with her. Since then they have worked wonders bringing the Lodge up to modern standards.

During her time in the UK Susan worked in catering and this definitely shows in the wonderful food she produces. Wayne has taken to life on the Islands like a fish to water and has not only become an expert 4x4 driver (an essential trade where there are few roads!) but has also developed an incredible knowledge of the flora and fauna.

A great addition to their staff as been Michael who will be abel to take you to some of the best fishing spots in all the islands (12 lb fish are an almost daily occurance).

There is also a small museum with some fascinating remnants of the 1982 conflict.
