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.
Walk the narrow isthmus known as The Neck, where rockhopper penguins, king penguins, and black-browed albatross nest side by side on open dunes.
A 4x4 ascent to Rookery Mount's clifftop colonies, reached by very few visitors due to the terrain and timing required.
A quieter walk along the coast to a beach where elephant seals haul out to wallow, well away from the main penguin traffic.
A short, honest walk through the working sheep station at the heart of Saunders Island, with a chance to talk to the family who actually lives there.
A small-boat cruise around the offshore islets near Saunders, spotting seabirds, seals, and sometimes orca patrolling the kelp beds.
A quiet coastal walk over rolling dunes to Saunders' expansive, empty white-sand beaches, away from the wildlife crowds at The Neck.
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.
