Top places to visit in Falkland Island

"I recently took the Yorke Bay Gentoo Penguin Tour with Premium Penguin Tours in December 2023, and it was an unforgettable experience! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and the Falkland Islands. Seeing the Gentoo penguins up close in their natural habitat was truly magical. The tour was well-organized, and the team ensured that we had plenty of time to take in the sights and capture stunning photos. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Falklands – it’s a must-do! Five stars all the way!"

In January 2024, my friends and I had the pleasure of taking a tour with Premium Penguin Tours, and it was an exceptional experience. A special thank you to Robert, our 4x4 driver and guide, who made the day truly memorable with his engaging stories about life in the Falklands and his extensive knowledge about the wildlife. We visited Whale Point, a private reserve that took about two hours to reach from the port. The journey involved over an hour of 4x4 driving on an unpaved road, but the ride in the Land Rover 4x4 was quite enjoyable. At Whale Point, we were able to explore without the crowds, as there were only about four of us on the tour. This allowed us to get close to the elephant seals and penguins while still respecting their space. The experience was much more affordable compared to the ship’s excursions, and the personal attention from our guides made it well worth it. If you’re looking to see both seals and penguins without the hassle of large groups, I highly recommend booking with Premium Penguin Tours. Their service was outstanding, and the tour was a highlight of our cruise stop!"

In January, we took an incredible tour to Bertha Beach with Premium Penguin Tours, and it was an adventure to remember! We saw a large colony of Gentoo penguins in their natural habitat, which was absolutely amazing. A special shout-out to our driver and guide, Gerhard, who made the experience even better with his engaging conversation and insights into the Falklands. The tour was a real adventure, traveling in a 4x4 vehicle over rugged terrain. The lunch pack provided was fantastic—fresh, locally-made sandwiches, crisps, a chocolate bar, fruit, and a delightful cup of hot chocolate. It was the perfect meal to enjoy while taking in the stunning views. We took loads of photos and cherished every moment of our visit to the Falkland Islands. Thank you, Premium Penguin Tours, for such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Falklands!"

In February 2024, we arrived at Yorke Bay on the Norwegian Star cruise and had a fantastic experience with Premium Penguin Tours. Our driver was waiting for us in a branded uniform, which was a nice touch and showed the professionalism of the company. The organization was top-notch from start to finish. We were transported to Yorke Bay in a comfortable minibus, where we met our guide, Timothy. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure we had a great time exploring the area. Seeing the penguins at Yorke Bay was a highlight of our trip, and Timothy's insights added to the experience. After our exploration, we were efficiently transported back to Stanley. The whole tour was not only enjoyable but also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Premium Penguin Tours for anyone visiting the Falkland Islands—great service and a memorable adventure!"

We chose to do this tour whilst on a cruise stop in Stanley. We are so happy we made this choice. A small group overall, and then even more personal with only 4 people per 4x4 vehicle. An off-road trip that was so much fun, and allowed us to see some of the more remote scenery. Elephant seals and penguins were mentioned in the tour description and was it true - yes, yes, yes. Unbelievable to get so close to the elephant seals at one beach, and then get close to a gentoo penguin colony at another beach (we were given a briefing on safe distances to view the seals and the penguins) Both stops were long enough to just sit and take it all in, which was fantastic. Our guide/driver was super informative and had a great sense of humour which also really added to the tour. This is an exclusive tour run by Premium Penguin Tour's, and we recommend it to anyone wanting an adventure and a look at wildlife in a totally unspoilt and respectful way.

Unfortunately, our cruise was canceled due to bad weather, which meant we couldn't go on the tour we had planned. However, we were very impressed with how Roberto and the Premium Penguin Tours team handled the situation. We received a prompt email response and a full refund for our booking, which was greatly appreciated.

We had a fantastic experience with Premium Penguin Tours on our recent group tour to Yorke Bay. The combination of the Gentoo penguin tour and the city tour made for a memorable day. At Yorke Bay, we were thrilled to see the Gentoo penguins up close, and the sight of dolphins was an added bonus. The city tour was equally impressive, taking us to key historical highlights of the Falkland Islands. Our guide was exceptional, providing us with a wealth of information and insights about both the wildlife and the history of the region.

What a great day we had at Bertha’s Beach with Premium Penguin Tours. Robert is a lovely man and so knowledgeable about the Falkland Islands and it’s history, which helped to make the day so special. The penguins at Bertha’s Beach were just amazing and being able to walk amongst them was very special.
