Penguins plus local life explained - We booked in advance of our cruise ship arriving and found communications to be polite and concise. We visited two beach areas by clean and comfy 14 guest minibuses with a driver and guide. Both came with us on each walk to viewing areas and were knowledgeable on the flora and fauna. We saw plenty of gentoos plus a few maggellan penguins and two king penguins, plus dolphins. Sadly the weather was not great but we were able to sit on the bus until the rain passed over. When Eva realised that I was geocaching, she helped me find one cache and made an extra stop by a fascinating signpost so I could grab a other cache while everyone else took pictures. The ladies ensured we saw the key sights of Stanley including the guides home and were very interesting and enthusiastic as the gave an insight into island life including economy, social life, shopping choices, tax, seasons, self sufficiency challenges and much more. The homemade ginger biscuits was a nice touch.

Great day at the Falklands. - Our guide was a 5th generation Falklander, her husband only 4th...haha. she was enjoyable to listen to giving us history and interesting stories. We saw Gentoo Penguins and beautiful scenery. It was cold and wendy so dress accordingly. Overall, it was a great day on the Falkland Island.

Rolling with the penguins - Our guide and driver, Sharon and Kapitan, were great! They were knowledgeable and helpful. Although a sea lion chased away the penguins there in the morning, we were able to hike through the sand dunes and commmune with a herd of sleeping penguins at the second sight.

Lovely to see the Gentoo penguins - Our tour was in the morning and we had lovely sunny weather (though windy). However be prepared for rain as it poured down in the afternoon and we were glad of our waterproofs! Our guide and driver were 6th and 5th generation Falklanders and very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw lots of gentoo penguins at Yorke Bay but not many Magellanic penguins at Gypsy Cove.

Great half day tour for visiting Falkland Islands - Very nice tour, we saw many wildlife and penguins during the tour. A city tour also included on return to the port. They offered a ginger cookie during the tour. Highly recommended!

Very friendly guides, got to see penguins and quick tour of Stanley - Sharon, our guide, and Haley, our driver, were both very friendly and informative, plus a great sense of humour. This tour was much less than the ones we could have booked from the cruise ship and we did see plenty of penguins and three different kinds. Not as many as I would have liked but that is just luck of the draw on the day (friends who took the cruise ship option did see a lot more, but they paid a lot more). It involved two short walks, one on a hard rocky track and the other over sand. The walk through the dunes itself was pretty good. it was followed by a quick tour through Stanley showing us some of the key places.
