Falkland Land trips
1
Carcass Island
Is a hiker’s paradise, offering a network of rewarding walks through pristine landscapes. Two main loop trails invite exploration: a scenic 7 km route to the penguin colony, and a longer 12.5 km circuit leading to elephant seals and tranquil freshwater ponds.
Along the way, countless shorter paths branch off toward the shoreline and lush stands of tussac grass, allowing walkers to tailor each journey
and discover the island’s wildlife and beauty at their own pace.

Keppel Island
There are two superb freshwater lakes rich in waterfowl. Along the nearby low cliffs, you can also see rockhopper penguins, black-browed albatrosses, and imperial cormorants. Walking here is slightly more challenging due to thicker vegetation, though there is very little elevation gain unless you choose to climb the hills for additional viewpoints.
3
Port Stephens
In Port Stephens we offer guided walking tours that showcase its diverse natural features, including fascinating geological formations around the Indian Village area. The region is known for its beautiful coastal landscapes and rugged headlands. It is also rich in marine and birdlife, with dolphins frequently seen in the harbour.

Saunders
Gentoo, Magellanic, King and Rockhopper penguins. Black-browed albatross. Probably the most species of bird life in a 1,5 mile radius anywhere in the Falklands. Two white sandy beaches perfect for viewing and photographinc penguins coming ashore. Dophins often seen playing in the surf.
5
Stanley
Stretched along the southern shore of the sheltered harbour, the colourful buildings of Stanley offer a warm and friendly welcome to all visitors. The tiny capital city is village-sized but has the amenities you would expect of a large town and lots to discover.
Different architectural styles characterise Stanley along with features of our British heritage. There are interesting buildings to explore and some surprising photographic opportunities. Fantastic museum and plenty of gift shops to purchase your souvenirs and opportunities to send postcards home.

Steeple Jason
The area offers excellent walking opportunities, but the main highlight is the world’s largest black- browed albatross colony. Most walks are easy to moderate, with options to extend the route and add more challenging hill sections for those who enjoy a tougher hike.
7
West Point Island
is located off the north-west tip of West Falkland and is home to black-browed
albatross amongst other birds. The terrain is varied, consisting of dramatic sandstone cliffs, falling away to low lying areas of emerald greens.
The highest point, Cliff Mountain is 381m (1,211 feet), the highest cliff in the Falklands. It is an Important Bird Area, alongside the albatross are Rockhopper penguins and Imperial Cormorants. Many other species can be seen. Whales, fur seals, sealions and dolphins are also frequently observed.
8
Pebble Island
Pebble Island is vast and dramatic—stretching nearly 35 km in length—with its
highlights scattered across a sweeping landscape. Because of the distances involved, exploration is often arranged by guided tours with convenient drop-off and pick-up points.
For those seeking a gentle experience, there are easy walks of 500 m to 2.5 km near key sites. More adventurous walkers can opt to be dropped off at the island’s most remote wildlife locations and enjoy an immersive trek of up to 15 km back to the guesthouse, taking in the scale, solitude, and wild beauty of Pebble Island along the way.
