Tussac Grass & Coastal Walk to Rockhopper Ledges

A quiet, self-paced coastal ramble through dense tussac grass — a habitat that has vanished from most of the Falklands but survives here, sheltering birds you won't see from any ship deck.

What to expect

The undulating path skirts pasture before dropping toward the cliffs, tussac towering overhead in places. Striated caracaras (the world's rarest bird of prey by some counts) are notoriously curious here and often approach walkers.

Good to know

Sturdy waterproof footwear essential; ground is boggy in places. Allow 1.5-2 hours round trip and watch the tide/Zodiac schedule closely.
