Walk within touching distance of Gentoo penguins at Yorke Bay, explore the haunting Lady Elizabeth shipwreck, and discover iconic Stanley landmarks — all on a fully private guided tour tailored to your pace.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you from the tender pier and whisks you first to Yorke Bay, where hundreds of Gentoo penguins waddle past with zero concern for your presence. Next, you pick your way around the rust-red wreck of the Lady Elizabeth, a Victorian iron-hulled barque beached since 1936 and one of the Southern Ocean's most photogenic shipwrecks. A swing through Gypsy Cove adds Magellanic penguins in their burrows, before a stroll through colourful Stanley itself — the Totem Pole, the whalebone arch, and Christ Church Cathedral all feature. The guide's personal Falklands history — many are families who lived through 1982 — lends every stop extraordinary depth.
Good to know
Book well in advance as private guide availability is limited on multi-ship days. Full tour runs 3–4 hours; confirm the precise all-aboard time with your guide so you return with comfort to spare. Tender port — allow 20 minutes each way.
