Thank You for Visiting Bluff Cove Lagoon
After many wonderful years welcoming visitors to Bluff Cove Lagoon, our penguin tour is now closed.
Guests were greeted off the tenders by our shore-side team at the Stanley pier. They helped our guests on to our Bluff buses and answered any questions. Our mini-bus driver/guide team gave excellent informative presentations on the 30 minute bus ride through Stanley and along the road to Bluff Cove; through the 1982 battlefields and stunning stone-runs, flowing down the mountainsides, and over a ridge, on our new private road, to the beautiful, remote and tranquil Lagoon.

At The Lagoon
Our guests were met at the penguin rookery by our helpful and knowledgeable rangers, who answered any wildlife questions guests had.
Our guests had two hours to enjoy the wildlife at the rookery and beach. As well as the many Gentoo penguins they also saw our growing colony of King penguins and visited Magellanic penguins on the beach.
At the rookery, we had benches, so our guests watched the penguins in comfort. Guests with disabilities were driven down from the rookery to the café and beach, by one of our friendly rangers.
“A wildlife spectacular! A cream tea to die for!” Nigel Marven, TV wildlife presenter
The Sea Cabbage Café and Bluff Cove Museum and Gift Shop are tucked under a grass bank facing the beautiful long white sand beach. In the warmth of the peat stove, guests enjoyed complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate served with heaps of Hattie’s home-baked treats. Guests enjoyed reading the interesting museum displays depicting Falkland life and browsed around the exclusive gift shop just along the wooden walkway. New modern restrooms can be found by the museum shop.
After after two hours our mini buses returned guests to Stanley, where they explored and/or shopped for the rest of their day in the Falklands.
