Remote and sparsely populated, the Falkland Islands are a wildlife lover’s paradise. The world’s largest population of Gentoo penguins is found here, in addition to King, Magellanic and Rockhopper penguins. Watch as they waddle along, interacting with each other.
You can also find black-browed albatross, plus Cobb’s wren and Falkland’s flightless steamer duck, which are both endemic bird species. Make sure to ask for some wildlife insights from the expert Discovery Team – comprised of up to 20 polar experts this team of geologists, historians, ornithologists, marine biologists, and glaciologists is at the heart of your Antarctic Voyage.
Discovery: Daily experiences during your expedition voyage may include cruising on Zodiacs, stepping ashore to view vast penguin rookeries, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, soar above in the helicopter and dive below in the submersible.
Flights on board the two helicopters and submersible experiences are at additional cost, subject to regulatory approval, availability, weight restrictions, medical approval, weather, ice, and tidal conditions. Helicopter is not available in South Georgia.
