Sightseeing with Penguins

Sightseeing with Penguins in Falkland Islands Travel Falklands

This is a fun, shared tour which incorporates penguins, fantastic views and some short walks all in the great company of our local guides who will share their knowledge and personal insights of living in a remote part of the world.

If you are arriving on a cruise ship, we will meet you at you at the tender landing area (Jetty Visitor Centre) for either the 9:00 or noon departure time for the 2.5 hour tour.

We drive through the east end of Stanley and have a brief photo opportunity stop at the wreck of the iconic Lady Elizabeth, before heading to Gypsy Cove for some great views and to see the Magellanic penguins.

From there we drive to Yorke Bay to walk through the pristine sand dunes and visit the Gentoo penguins which hatch their chicks during November.

King penguins are often in the area in small numbers and while we can not guarantee their presence, we saw them on every tour during the 2024/25 season.

Throughout the tour your guides will provide you with lots of information about the wildlife and life in the Falklands and ensure that you are well cared for and most importantly, have a good time.

On the return to Stanley we have a brief tour of the town with the option to leave the tour at the Museum which is a short walk from the Jetty Visitor Centre, or return to your pick up point.

The tour does involve some walking over uneven ground so is not suitable for wheel chairs or those with mobility aids

Reviews from Our Travellers

Sharon and the driver were excellent hosts. Sharon, a 6th generation resident of the Falkland’s was so knowledgeable, interesting and funny. Great tour - saw so many penguins and well worth the money! They met us at the port and we were off within minutes. Thanks!

Lynne H Traveler

The Guides were very knowledgeable and very professional. Excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble and the information they knew was second to none . Chris MThis was an amazing way to view, learn and experience the Falkland Islands with a limited amount of time. Wendy and Sharon were a great team, sharing their childhood and life experiences in Stanley….even drove us by their houses. It was thoughtful of Sharon to bake us cookies for our snack. I learned a lot and am thankful.

This was a wonderful tour of Stanley in the Falkland Islands! Kaps took us around to Gypsy Cove, Lady Elizabeth ship wreck, and more. We saw penguins, beautiful birds, beaches and so much more. Kaps knows the history of the Falkland Islands and it was a joy to spend several hours with him learning. Highly recommend this tour to anyone stopping by for a short visit!
