Award-winning, world renowned photographers regularly visit Sea Lion Island and have published many prize winning wildlife images in books and magazines.

The Lodge offers spectacular views of the South Atlantic ā€“ there is nothing but water between Sea Lion Island and Antarctica.

Dining at Sea Lion Lodge
Each morning a fully cooked buffet breakfast is available to guests. Lunch consists of a light meal or sandwiches, with tea, coffee and cakes offered during the afternoon. The evening meal is served in the dining room and is three courses, sometimes with a Chilean theme, prepared by the chef. All meals are included in the accommodation fee. The chef can cater for any dietary requirements with advance notice.

The Lodge strives to use as much fresh produce from Sea Lion Island as possible. Otherwise, traditional Falkland Island products are used.

Tours
On arrival, guests are taken on a 4WD tour is available to acquaint them with the island. The Lodge is located in the center of the island within easy reach of sandy beaches. The entire island is accessible by 4WD and, at just 5 miles long and 1.5 miles at its widest, it is possible to explore much of what the island has to offer on foot, so guests are free to organize their day as they wish.

Walking on Sea Lion Island is easy going and guests can find all manner of whale and seal bones on the beaches, as well as debris from shipwrecks. Guests are asked to beach comb with their eyes only ā€“ nothing must be removed from the beaches. With a resident population of just 7, guests at the lodge can expect to have the entire island to themselves.

Eco-tourism
The Lodge
Sea Lion Lodge strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible given its remote position. Its main achievement has been the use of solar panels for heating water.

Conservation
Fortunately, Sea Lion Island is free from introduced predators such as cats, rats and mice which would otherwise threaten the many varieties of ground nesting birds on the island. The island has also been designated as a National Nature Reserve and as a Ramsar Site (The International Convention for the Protection of Wetlands, particularly as habitat for waterfowl).
