We would like you to make the very most of every minute you are on the Falkland Islands … and that might well be just sat in a sheltered spot marvelling at the big open spaces of where the blues of the sky and ocean meet, perched on a rock watching a penguin building its nest, or enjoying a tasty Falklands smoko in the comfort of a lodge, but we invite you to delve into our chest of experiences and add some little extras to your itinerary, particularly when you are in Stanley, to be sure you enjoy every aspect of the Falklands.
Whilst most of these experiences are based from Stanley, we think you’ll find plenty of natural experiences while you are out island-hopping with hill walking, beach combing, off-road driving and open air picnic lunches all regular features of any Falklands itinerary.

Unwind @ UnWinedReflect on your day whilst enjoying some of the best tapas in town washed down with a good wine, or maybe a local gin, in UnWined’s mellow atmosphere. Oh, and check out some of the local art on display and for sale. Mountain /E-BikingThis half day tour will take in all the sites of Stanley travelling through the capital and down the harbour front stopping for smoko (traditional afternoon tea). The tour will continue with the wind on our backs pushing us towards the stunning views and pristine white sandy beaches of Gypsy Cove and Yorke Bay. A visit to the Magellanic and Gentoo penguins and then we will continue down towards the Cape Pembroke lighthouse viewpoint. What a great way to see the Falklands! Souvenir Shopping(maybe with tea or a little glass of bubbles thrown in!) Do you fancy a little “local” input into your souvenir shopping or just a bit pressed for time? We can provide a chauffeur service, assist you in finding the most traditional products, and of course carry the bags while you browse. And if you do like to break your shopping up with a little treat then we can accompany you while you enjoy a tea, a latte or maybe a something a little naughty! |
ParkrunTake part in the most southerly scheduled weekly 5 km run at the Cape Pembroke Lighthouse parkrun at 9.00 a.m. every Saturday. Check out the parkrun phenomenon at www.parkrun.org.uk. Whether you are enrolled or not, we can arrange for you to attend and take part in the run. Hill Walking (Stanley)
The hills are barren and windswept but also vast and beautiful. There is much to be seen from the interesting local flora and fauna with plenty of foraging opportunities. To the remnants and memorials of the Falklands conflict where stories of bravery and superhuman strength make them an inspiring place to step foot. This guided hill walking tour will give you a real feel of the Falklands landscape flora and fauna as well as give you an overview of the part these mountains played in the 1982 conflict and provide fabulous views looking back down on Stanley and its harbour. Picnic Hamper...with a View! Whether your favourite setting is a beach, hills or the river there are plenty of fabulous views just a very short drive from Stanley … so why not enjoy them with an especially prepared picnic hamper complete with wine or champagne, a rug, and your camera at the ready, or simply just commit the views to memory. |
KayakingA half day tour or late afternoon/evening outing, although only 10 mins from the Falklands’ capital Stanley, will feel remote and wild. Kayak to beautiful white sandy beaches and have a chance of seeing a vast range of Falklands wildlife including penguins, sea lions, whales, dolphins and an array of bird life. Kayaking in the Falklands truly is something special and will be guaranteed to be a highlight of your time here. Why not soup it up and end it with a picnic supper and wine on the beach when you return ashore … fingers crossed the Falklands will deliver a great sunset to round off the day! Adventure DayThere is no getting away from the fact that the Falklands weather is changeable and sometimes it is necessary to be adaptable. So let our experts make a day that’s a fit for both you and the weather, and will make for a memorable day! A combination of adventure activity and wildlife experience - catering for all abilities and experience levels – will be planned around your preferences whilst always considering the Falklands weather.
