Getting to the Falkland Islands
By Air
While technically a British Territory, the Falklands are remote islands off the eastern coast of South America also claimed by Argentina, where they are known as the Islas Malvinas. Many of our tours start from the Mount Pleasant Airport, which is easily reached by flights from Punta Arenas or Santiago, Chile.
Once you're in the Falkland Islands, you will either fly to your various hotels or to your cruise boarding destination on a low-flying local aircraft that will give you a tremendous aerial view of this Atlantic archipelago.
Cruises visiting the Falklands
Cruises visiting the Falkland Islands generally embark in Ushuaia, Argentina, while some may start in Buenos Aires or Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Many sail onward to explore the South Georgia Islands, the Antarctica Peninsula, the remote Weddell Sea, and other Antarctic destinations.
Favorite Wildlife Watching Islands of the Falklands
Sea Lion Island
The southernmost inhabited island and one of the smallest in the Falklands archipelago, Sea Lion Island may have the highest density of wildlife in the islands. Forty-seven different species of birds, elephant seals, and yes, sea lions, can be spotted.
Saunders Island
Still an active sheep farm and was the site of the first British settlement in 1765, highlights here include penguins and a colony of black-browed albatrosses that stretches to the narrow sandy isthmus known as The Neck.
Carcass Island
Possibly the most picturesque of the outer-lying islands, it attracts many small birds such as the black-chinned siskin, the Cobb’s wren, and the Falklands thrush.
