The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Ride deep into the Falklands' wild coastline in a private 4×4 to reach Bertha's Beach — a pristine arc of white sand hosting the Falklands' most accessible, photogenic Gentoo penguin colony. A bucket-list wildlife encounter at the end of the world.
Walk a legendary minefield-turned-wildlife-sanctuary to encounter Magellanic penguins burrowing in the dunes at Gypsy Cove, then continue to Yorke Bay's bone-white beach for close-up encounters with Gentoo colonies — two species, one extraordinary morning.
Journey across the dramatic moorland battlefields of Goose Green, Mount Longdon, and Tumbledown with a specialist local guide whose family lived through the 1982 conflict — a deeply moving, once-in-a-lifetime immersion into modern military history.
Explore the remarkably intact Victorian capital of the Falklands on foot with a local historian — a colourful mile of painted iron-clad houses, the world's most southerly Anglican cathedral, and the iconic rusting iron sailing ships rotting majestically in the harbour.
Fly by light aircraft to Sea Lion Island — the Falklands' premier wildlife destination — to witness Southern elephant seals, sea lions, five penguin species, and nesting black-browed albatross on a single pristine island. The ultimate Falklands wildlife day.
Drive to the wind-scoured eastern tip of East Falkland to stand at Cape Pembroke Lighthouse — the most easterly point of the Falklands, with the Atlantic stretching unbroken to South Georgia — and explore dramatic coastal scenery teeming with birds and marine wildlife.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
