Falkland Islands Shared Tour Sightseeing with Penguins

NB: 04/11/2025 Due to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (aka bird flu) Yorke Bay is currently closed to the public.
We are working to extend the tour to both the East (Sapper Hill, Wireless Ridge areas) and the West of Stanley (Cape Pembroke, Surf Bay) to ensure you enjoy the maximum coverage of the Stanley area.
While we hope that Yorke Bay will reopen later in the season this can not be guaranteed.
We sincerley apologise for the situation which is beyond our control.
Please be assured that while there will be less penguins, the replacement content and quality of our guides will ensure that you will be well informed about all things Falklands from start to finish.

Lying at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley's most imposing and iconic shipwreck. Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched in Sunderland in the UK in 1879 and suffered damage whilst rounding Cape Horn in 1913. She limped into Stanley for repairs but the high cost prevented any being carried out. After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place.
This is a favourite place to get pictures with the back drop of Stanley and the mountains to the West.

FIGAS, (Falkland Islands Government Air Service) has operated Islander aircraft since October 1979 and is the Southern-most operator of the type. The current fleet of five Islanders is essential in keeping the more remote communities connected to Stanley. In addition to air taxi flights, the carrier also undertakes air ambulance, mail delivery, freight, environmental monitoring, fishery patrol, and scenic flights.

Situated towards the western end of Stanley on Ross Road, Government House is both the home and the workplace of the Governor who is King Charles' representative in the Falklands.

Constructed in 1933 from the jawbones of two blue whales, it commemorates a century of continuous British administration in the Falklands. Situated outside Christchurch Cathedral, near the supermarket, gift shop and the tender landing stage it provides excellent photo opportunities and is reccommended as a drop off point for cruise ship visitors.

Islanders are very proud of the Museum which provides a great insight into the social and maritime history of the Islands. Be careful though as time slips away very quickly when you enter and are welcomed by the staff who are happy to chat and answer your questions. Recommended as an optional drop of point at the end of tour with just a short walk to the tender landing stage for cruise ship visitors.

Our guides will walk with you to see Magellanic penguins and other shore birds and views overlooking the harbours.

Cape Pembroke is the most easterly point of the Falkland Islands and lies just over 7 miles due east of Stanley.
The Lighthouse built in 1907 is currently under renovation.
The nature reserve is often frequented by seals and whales can be spotted out to sea.
