Falkland Islands vacations 2020 & 2021
The Falklands can look like something out of a particularly moody landscape painting, with unpeopled, melancholic, unforgiving terrain. Outside the capital, Stanley, roads disappear in vast tussock grasslands, sphagnum bogs, dunes, boulder fields and a wind-beaten coastline. Then there’s the wildlife. You can walk among some of the world’s healthiest penguin colonies — species include gentoo, Magellanic, rockhopper and king. Our specialists can craft a Falkland Islands vacation that sees you exploring wetlands sheltering all kinds of endemic waterbirds while black-browed albatrosses soar overhead.
You can also observe elephant seals at close quarters, spot whales and dolphins, and retreat from the modern world altogether in ‘camp’ (the Falklands countryside). And, for some visitors, the Falkland Islands are inextricably linked with the British-Argentinian conflict of the 1980s, and you can also choose to visit sites such as Darwin and Goose Green on a tailor-made Falkland Islands trip.

Shackleton's Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands
This is a truly amazing journey that should be at the top of the wish list for anyone with an interest in wildlife, history, geology, remoteness or ice. The Falklands offer visitors a unique selection of wildlife from rock hopper penguins to nest black brow albatross, while South Georgia is home to countless king penguins, seals and wandering albatross as well as the history of whalers and Shackleton. To add to this you will also visit the Antarctic Peninsula and marvel at the ice and scenery there. This itinerary is based on a private ensuite cabin with a picture window, giving a realistic price and the possibility of less expensive cabins if wanted to explore those options.
