Quick Itinerary
Flavour of Falkland Islands 12-day Itinerary
Days 1-2 UK - Santiago, Chile
Today you will depart the UK on your international flight to Santiago, Chile, where you'll spend a night.
Day 3 Mount Pleasant International Airport, Falklands
Your flight will arrive at Mount Pleasant International Airport where you will be met and greeted by a Falklands Islands representative, and then transferred to your hotel.
Days 4-5 Carcass Island
You will take an internal flight to Carcass Island, named after HMS Carcass visited in the late 18th century. No predators have been introduced to the islands and so the wildlife here can be found in abundance. A gentoo penguin colony can be found a short walk from the settlements, and you may also see striated caracara, king cormorants and the endemic Cobb’s wren. You’ll take a boat trip to West Point Island, keeping an eye out for dolphins and whales en route, then walk to Devil’s Nose Cliff to see black-browed albatross and rockhopper penguin colonies.
Days 6-7 Sea Lion Island
The next destination will be Sea Lion Island where you guessed it, you’ll find lots of sea lions and elephant seals along the white sand beaches, which in turn bring in pods of orca to prey. On arrival, you have an introductory transfer from the airport to your hotel so you can familiarise yourself with the island’s layout and wildlife locations. Your time is then free to explore on your own.
Day 8 Stanley
Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands is a colourful city and most of the Falkland Islanders live there. You can explore it on foot and visit war memorials and monuments such as the Anglican cathedral or the iconic whalebone arch.
Day 9 Volunteer Point
Today the guide will drive to Volunteer Point. You will arrive on the beach where you will have the opportunity to see the largest colony of king penguins. Other locations and battle sites are available, should you wish to discover and visit them.
Days 10-12 Mount Pleasant - Santiago - UK
Transfer to Mount Pleasant International Airport for your onward flight to Chile.
The following day, depart from Santiago and land back in the UK on day 12.
