The Falklands consist of two main islands (East Falkland and West Falkland) and more than 400 other islands and islets. During this fabulous voyage, we travel the length and breadth of the archipelago. The wildlife here is exceptional with half a dozen breeding species of penguin, colonies of Black-browed Albatrosses and Southern Giant Petrels, as well as Falkland Flightless Steamer Ducks, Falkland Diving Petrels, Upland and Kelp Geese, Tussock Birds and many other endemic species and sub-species. It is a bird watcher’s paradise.
It’s not surprising that the Falklands has often been described as the South Atlantic’s answer to the Galapagos Islands. But you don’t have to be a bird watcher to enjoy Striated Caracaras, Dolphin Gulls, Snowy Sheathbills, Black-crowned Night Herons and the many other extraordinary (and remarkably tame) birds to be found here in abundance. The archipelago is also home to several different seals and sea lions and a variety of cetaceans ranging from Commerson’s Dolphins to Killer Whales.
