The Tour

The Adventure - Getting there

Our guests are greeted at the Stanley jetty by our guides, led by Gary, who as a Royal Marine fought in the 1982 Falklands Conflict, before settling in the Falklands.

Bluff Cove Lagoon Penguin Tour Minibus You will be given an excellent informative presentation on the 20 minute minibus ride through Stanley and along the road to Bluff Cove, through the 1982 battlefields and stunning stone-runs, flowing down the mountainsides.  Each guest is given one of our information leaflets which include maps of the area.
Our guests are handed over to our strong local team of Land-Rover drivers for the 30 minute off-road adventure. The convoy navigates the stone-runs, drives across a valley, up and over a rocky ridge then down to the beautiful, remote and tranquil setting of the Lagoon. Stone run
Landrover For the comfort of our guests, we keep the numbers to 4 passengers per vehicle.  The drivers are our friends and neighbours who come to assist us to help make the day memorable.  Each driver brings his/her own modern, well-maintained, fully insured, 4x4 vehicle; and an individual personality.

At The Lagoon

Our guests are met at the penguin rookery by our helpful and knowledgeable wardens, who will answer any wildlife questions guests may have.

King Penguins with chick Our guests have an hour to enjoy the wildlife at the rookery and beach. As well as the many Gentoo penguins they will also see our growing colony of King penguins.
At the rookery, we have  benches, so our guests can watch the penguins in comfort.  Guests with disabilities can be driven down from the rookery to the café and beach, by one of our friendly wardens. Beach scene
Sea Cabbage Café

The Sea Cabbage Café is tucked under a grass bank facing the beautiful long white sand beach. In comfortable warm rooms, heated by a traditional peat stove, guests can enjoy complimentary tea and coffee, served by our tea ladies, with heaps of delicious home-baked cakes, cookies and scones with local diddle dee jam to choose from.  Modern restroom facilities are to be found here too.  Postcards are for sale which can be stamped and posted at the café.

After an hour, our team of drivers return guests to Gary's minibus team, and they are driven back to Stanley, where they can explore and shop for the rest of their day in the Falklands.
