Cape Bougainville

Reviewed By StijnLieshout - Apeldoorn, The Netherlands

This cape is a true gem on the North coast of East Falkland. Saw Rockhopper and Macaroni penguins, Sea Lions, Empire cormorants, Skuas and more. Nice cliffs, sea battering the rocks. Nature at its finest. If you have no extensive off-road driving experience like me, don’t bother coming on your own. The terrain is really difficult and it’s a 2,5 hour drive from Stanley, maybe more. I was guided and driven by Tony Smith, a very nice and knowledgeable guide and an off-road master. A day’s trip worth every penny.

Kidney Island

Reviewed By scottportelli - Sydney, Australia

If you only have one day in Stanley, this is a must-see activity! Greeted by Andrew, we set off by boat across to this very special place called Kidney Island. Andy’s knowledge, expertise and respect for the wildlife made this even more memorable. We landed on the west side of the island and started into the tussock grass following the bellows of resting sealions, and observing various birds of prey and seabirds along the way. Before heading over to the sea cliffs to visit the Rockhopper colonies perched up on the edge of the rocky cliff tops. But then the main event happened! More than 100 thousand sooty sheerwaters start returning to the island as the sunsets they appear in huge numbers scattered across the dusk sky. It was one of the most spectacular natural events I have witnessed and nothing could prepare me for the sheer magnitude of what I was witnessing. This is truly a hidden gem of visiting the Falklands, the good thing is, it is only a short 30 minute boat ride from town. You have to see this and if you are lucky you may get a spectacular Falkland Island sunset as well.

Kelp Point

Reviewed By Randm57 - Gold Coast, Australia

We chose to do this tour whilst on a cruise stop in Stanley. We are so happy we made this choice. A small group overall, and then even more personal with only 4 people per 4x4 vehicle. An off-road trip that was so much fun, and allowed us to see some of the more remote scenery. Elephant seals and penguins were mentioned in the tour description and was it true - yes, yes, yes. Unbelievable to get so close to the elephant seals at one beach, and then get close to a gentoo penguin colony at another beach (we were given a briefing on safe distances to view the seals and the penguins) Both stops were long enough to just sit and take it all in, which was fantastic. Our guide/driver was super informative and had a great sense of humour which also really added to the tour. This is an exclusive tour run by Penguin Travel, and we recommend it to anyone wanting an adventure and a look at wildlife in a totally unspoilt and respectful way.

The Falkland Islands are one of the few places in the world you can experience an unspoilt natural wonder. With hundreds of bird species, the most accessible King Penguin colonies in the world, and a vast array of marine life, there is so much to see and do here. The rugged landscape, featured in the stories of great explorers such as Ernest Shackleton and Charles Darwin, provide a unique trekking and hiking experience. Visit Falkland Islands is an initiative of native Falkland Islander Saul Zuvic. After convincing his brother Zoran and childhood friend, Josh to join him on the adventure, the trio started the project with aim of becoming the best tour service the Falklands has to offer. With their passion for travel, photography, wildlife, and their home, they started the company in an effort to create an experience for visitors that would be unmatched in terms of quality and content within the Falklands tourist industry. ​ Since graduating from university, the trio have travelled the world and have developed an understanding of the standards a premium tour should meet. Starting in 2016, they will be offering premium excursions for visitors. ​ "Combining our skills and passions for photography, wildlife, history and travel, we have created a brand with the aim of providing our guests with a premium quality service. From the moment you first visit our website, to the time you look back at your trip to the Falklands, we want to offer a service unrivalled within the Falklands tourism industry. We want our guests to experience the level of passion and enthusiasm we have of our home. So get planning your 2017 adventure now!" ​
