News of Falkland Islands

Any advice about how to see all the types of penguins in a day on a cruise stop in February at Stanley? Princess offers a Rockhopper Island tour, a Bluff Cove tour, a Sparrow Cove tour and Kidney Island. Anyone been on any of these to compare?

Just thought I'd start a topic on any useful links you might have which could be useful for people visiting the Falklands.



I start of with the following

for a day? Any website/email?

I am interested in going to Volunteer point,

but I found that all of the companies I

contacted has fully booked. So I wonder

This morning we woke to cloudy skies. The forecast was supposed to be 59F and partly cloudy, but this morning it was entirely cloudy. The good news was that it wasnt raining and the seas were calm, so tendering got ...
