The Lagoon on our ranch, Bluff Cove, is home to 3,000 Gentoo Penguins, a growing colony of King Penguins, and an abundance of other spectacular wildlife on a beautiful wilderness beach only reached by our 4x4 vehicles. Home-baking and delicious local flavours are served with live music in the Sea Cabbage Café. The Museum tells the story of Bluff Cove. Our award winning tour is a fabulous combination of Falkland wildlife, heritage and hospitality.

2. Volunteer Point

One of the jewels of the Falkland Islands is Volunteer point, which has the largest accessible King Penguin colony in this part of the world. This pristine landscape with white sandy beaches, spectacular coastline, rolling hills and winding water ways is a haven for so much wildlife and birds. It is a visual overload that numbs all the senses into submission as you take in the sights and sounds consuming you as you explore this beautiful place. This time of year, is simply magical, King Penguins are on eggs, Gentoo chicks are hatching, Magellenic’s are courting and marine mammals patrol the beach and surf looking for unsuspecting penguins to cross their path. Nature in the raw is what you are presented with on a daily if not hourly basis. Derek and Trudi who live at Volunteer and have been the wardens looking after the property for many years, are just amazing, they look after me and the group each year and make us feel like no task is too difficult. The food is amazing, the location is amazing and I couldn’t feel more welcome than when I visit this magnificent place. This is my 4th time visiting the Falkland Islands and I can’t imagine not coming here, it’s always on our list of special places to visit.

The Falkland Islands are one of the few places in the world you can experience an unspoilt natural wonder. With hundreds of bird species, the most accessible King Penguin colonies in the world, and a vast array of marine life, there is so much to see and do here. The rugged landscape, featured in the stories of great explorers such as Ernest Shackleton and Charles Darwin, provide a unique trekking and hiking experience. Visit Falkland Islands is an initiative of native Falkland Islander Saul Zuvic. After convincing his brother Zoran and childhood friend, Josh to join him on the adventure, the trio started the project with aim of becoming the best tour service the Falklands has to offer. With their passion for travel, photography, wildlife, and their home, they started the company in an effort to create an experience for visitors that would be unmatched in terms of quality and content within the Falklands tourist industry. Since graduating from university, the trio have travelled the world and have developed an understanding of the standards a premium tour should meet. Starting in 2016, they will be offering premium excursions for visitors. "Combining our skills and passions for photography, wildlife, history and travel, we have created a brand with the aim of providing our guests with a premium quality service. From the moment you first visit our website, to the time you look back at your trip to the Falklands, we want to offer a service unrivalled within the Falklands tourism industry.

........very brief but well worth the time. Our guide explained the significance of this area to us and the role it played in the war. Very evocative.
7. Gypsy Cove

It is a relative short bus ride from downtown to Gypsy Cove for you to enjoy the sights. You will see a number of penguins as well a number of other birds, and sea life - if you travel in by Cruise ship, you will see your ship anchored in the bay as well. It is well worth the modest bus ticket cost to walk and see Gypsy Cove.
8. Christ Church Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 291 reviews
Reviewed By Amjar1 - Lakeville, United States
According to the Port Stanley Tourist Board, Christ Church is the most southerly Anglican cathedral in the world, and was consecrated in 1892 by the first Bishop of the Falkland Islands, Waite Hockin Stirling. This historic building features a cathedral tower with a ring of five bells, 19th and 20th-century stained glass windows and a two manual pipe organ built in Ireland. In addition, there are also locally-stitched needlepoint hassocks with scenes relating to the church and life on the Islands along with a collection of historic memorabilia. When open, you can visit at no charge, though a donation towards the maintenance of the building is highly recommended.
9. 1982 Liberation Memorial

Reviewed By Boiywlad - Stanley, Falkland Islands
No visit to the Falkland Islands and its capital Stanley would be complete without visiting the 1982 memorial. Easy access and on the sea front pretty much in the centre of Stanley. Well maintained and a fitting memorial to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in liberating these islands from illegal occupation in 1982.
10. Falkland Islands Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 370 reviews
The national museum of the Falklands! Celebrating the cultural heritage of the Falkland Islands, this large and modern museum complex is the one Stanley attraction that you will not want to miss. With five themed galleries (social, maritime and natural history, the 1982 war, Gateway to Antarctica) and several small outbuildings which includes the Smithy & Gearshed, the complex also features a speciality coffee and chocolate shop. All less than 5 minutes easy walk from the Jetty Visitors Centre/landing stage.
Reviewed By mandine_mandine - Paris, France
The Falklands tourist information office told us that one hour was enough to visit the museum but we could have spent a few hours. Lots of interesting stuffs about the history of the Falkland Islands: discovery and colonisation by the different European countries, whale hunting and natural history, current removing of the war mines and other anecdotes about the life style on the islands through the ages. A must see for people lucky enough to stay a few days on the islands.
