This is the easiest way to go see penguins in the Falklands with no commentary / no tour group structure, in a small group up to 16 people.
We simply take you there — you simply get to be with them.
From Stanley, we drive you directly to Bertha’s Beach — one of the most reliable / unhurried places to see Gentoo Penguins in the wild.
approx 1 hour travel each way
approx 1 full hour on the beach with the penguins
then we shuttle you back into town
There is no guiding narrative, no forced “tour pace”, and no heavy schedule.
This is quiet nature time.
Just you, the ocean, the beach, and the Gentoos doing their actual normal penguin life behavior.
This is perfect for travellers who want their own space, photographers, couples, and anyone who prefers to just observe wildlife in peace without commentary.
Simple. Beautiful. Real.
You get back to town relaxed, grounded, and with the memory of being in one of the most special penguin places on Earth — with zero stress.
