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.

    Remoteness

  • 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.

Penguins

This is a great place to spend hours immersed in the dynamics of penguin society. Take a seat on a nearby rock to watch the sociable rockhoppers leave their nests, gather in little groups, and set off in their comical gait for the perilous trip down the cliffs to the sea.

Once their hard day’s fishing and feeding is done they have a little play in a rock pool at the foot of the cliffs (safe from their predators that lurk in the ocean), before hopping back up the cliffs and home.
