What's included in the package
Itinerary
Gypsy Cove
See Magellanic penguins and stunning scenery (white sand beaches, big skies and turquoise seas)
Gentoo and king penguins on stunning white sand beaches. Experience walking along the beach or through the tall sand dunes. Possibility to watch dolphins too
Cape Pembroke Lighthouse
Built in 1855 the 18m/59ft tall lighthouse is located on the most easterly point of the Falkland Islands. For many years the lighthouse was the most southerly manned lighthouse in the world If you're lucky you may spot dolphins, peregrine falcons and whales. Our favourite place to enjoy a spot of lunch away from others.
Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck
Built in Sunderland in 1879 the three masted barque Lady Elizabeth (Liz) is now an impressive shipwreck in Stanley harbour. In 1913 she was damaged whilst rounding Cape Horn. On her way to Stanley harbour she struck the Uranie Rock which caused further damage including a hole in her hull. Upon inspection she was condemned and declared as unseaworthy. She was used as a warehouse before breaking her moorings in a storm in 1936 and drifting to her current day location. Hundreds of thousands of stunning photos of her have been taken over the years. Her backdrop is Stanley harbour, Stanley and a number of mountains. When the tide is very low it's possible to walk out on the sand and touch her.
