Falkland Islands Tour

Falkland Islands tour come true. It was a truly amazing tour! Actually it was a spiritual adventure in some ways and this was made possible by the warmth and friendship of all the people we met in the Falklands. I can't say enough about this tour to adequately say how much it meant to us. We didn't realize how moving the whole experience was until after we had returned home and gone over the place, people and photos. Thank you Adventure Life for making it all possible.

Falklands Quest Tour

At the immigration check in we learned that the entry fee into Chile is $132.00 USD, not $120.00, but this fee is good for the life of your passport.

After the usual tiresome overnight flight from Toronto to Santiago, Chile we checked in mid morning at the Holiday Inn directly across the street from the airport main entrance.

Of course our room …

Falklands Quest Tour

We got an early start this morning to catch the 0715 flight to Punta Arenas and then on to Mount Pleasant Airport, Falkland Islands. This is the military airbase and home for the 2000 troop garrison that is permanently based in the Falklands since the war with Argentina in 1982. I will refer to this in future simply as MPA . After the long …

Falklands Quest Tour

This was our full day tour of Pebble Island with our hosts Jacqui and Allan in two separate land rovers since there were more guests than one Land Rover could accommodate. We were in Allan's vehicle and he proved to be an excellent guide and explained everything of interest very well. He was especially good with the history of the Falklands War of …

Today's flight to Saunders Island was much more pleasant than the one from MPA and more in the nature of a sight seeing flight. Most FIGAS flights are made at an altitude of under 1000 feet and usually in good visibility which gives an excellent panorama of the islands.

Here we met our hosts for the next two days, David and Suzan. We found out …

Falkland Islands Quest

Our flight from Saunders Island to Carcass Island was another delightful sightseeing experience. It is amazing how much land area there is in the Falklands! Looking at a map of South America or the South Atlantic the Falklands show up only as a small dot, but in reality the islands cover vast areas of mostly uninhabited land.

We were met at the …

Falklands Quest Tour

This was our day to explore Carcass Island on our own so after breakfast and getting a packed lunch we set out to hike to the northern point of the island to visit the elephant seal colony. We followed a path along the fence by the tussac grass on the western side of the island taking in all the views and birds as they popped up from the …

Falklands Quest - West Point Island

Our all day tour to West Point Island, which was conditional on weather permitting was a go since it was a sunny day with only light winds. Our boat, the CONDOR, which was a German built North Sea trawler, was a sturdy and comfortable seaboat and travelled at a modest eight knots.

It is a two hour trip to West Point Island, which has one family …

Falkland Islands Quest Tour

Today we were in for another treat - a sightseeing flight from Carcass Island to Sea Lion Island. This flight of 45 minures is one of the longest of the whole tour. It included one stop along the way to let off and pick up other passengers and a crate of small puppies.

Approaching Sea Lion Island one wonders what there is to attract people to the …

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.

Erin was great to work with! Very quick with her replies and provided all the information I needed, no matter how many times I changed my request! This was my first time ever planning a trip like this and it couldn't have gone better.
