This cape is a true gem on the North coast of East Falkland. Saw Rockhopper and Macaroni penguins, Sea Lions, Empire cormorants, Skuas and more. Nice cliffs, sea battering the rocks. Nature at its finest. If you have no extensive off-road driving experience like me, don’t bother coming on your own. The terrain is really difficult and it’s a 2,5 hour drive from Stanley, maybe more. I was guided and driven by Tony Smith, a very nice and knowledgeable guide and an off-road master. A day’s trip worth every penny.

If you only have one day in Stanley, this is a must-see activity! Greeted by Andrew, we set off by boat across to this very special place called Kidney Island. Andy’s knowledge, expertise and respect for the wildlife made this even more memorable. We landed on the west side of the island and started into the tussock grass following the bellows of resting sealions, and observing various birds of prey and seabirds along the way. Before heading over to the sea cliffs to visit the Rockhopper colonies perched up on the edge of the rocky cliff tops. But then the main event happened! More than 100 thousand sooty sheerwaters start returning to the island as the sunsets they appear in huge numbers scattered across the dusk sky. It was one of the most spectacular natural events I have witnessed and nothing could prepare me for the sheer magnitude of what I was witnessing. This is truly a hidden gem of visiting the Falklands, the good thing is, it is only a short 30 minute boat ride from town. You have to see this and if you are lucky you may get a spectacular Falkland Island sunset as well.

We chose to do this tour whilst on a cruise stop in Stanley. We are so happy we made this choice. A small group overall, and then even more personal with only 4 people per 4x4 vehicle. An off-road trip that was so much fun, and allowed us to see some of the more remote scenery. Elephant seals and penguins were mentioned in the tour description and was it true - yes, yes, yes. Unbelievable to get so close to the elephant seals at one beach, and then get close to a gentoo penguin colony at another beach (we were given a briefing on safe distances to view the seals and the penguins) Both stops were long enough to just sit and take it all in, which was fantastic. Our guide/driver was super informative and had a great sense of humour which also really added to the tour. This is an exclusive tour run by Penguin Travel, and we recommend it to anyone wanting an adventure and a look at wildlife in a totally unspoilt and respectful way.

Taking a local guide, at half the price off the boat. The locals act as a park Rangers to access the beach. Look, don't touch, the birds always are right, this is their home.

We visited Pebble Island in January, staying at The Nest self catering cottage. The cottage was clean, modern and fully kitted out with anything you might need. Alex and Dot were amazing hosts. They gave us a tour of the Islands and the wildlife and sights we saw will stay with us forever. There is a 4 mile sand beach just a 10 minute walk from the cottage! Pebble Island has no become one of my favourite spots in the Falklands.
