Wild King Penguins and domestic sheep coexist in the Falkland Islands
With the help of Adventure Life, we planned a last-minute trip to the Falkland Islands last December. We wanted to time our travels with the breeding cycle of the migratory penguins and we definitely succeeded - we saw so many fluffy, chubby baby penguins and were lucky enough to see albatross chicks and baby seals too!

Going through immigration and purchasing the necessary entry visa took a little longer than expected. When that was finished and we were officially in South America, the first order of business was lunch. We decided to eat in our hotel and Greg, the adventurous eater, he tried the Conger Eel. When it arrived, it was not the snake-like substance I was expecting, so I gave it a try too. It tasted like any other white fish, and was pretty good too.
We made the most of the rest of our day by walking around Santiago and visiting some markets and craft fairs. Then it was off to bed early so we could be at the airport in plenty of time for our flight to Stanley the next morning. If you miss that LAN flight there is not another one until the next week!
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.
So go ahead and book an appointment with one of our specialized trip planners.
Adventure Life helped me achieve my bucket lists on this trip. With the help of Claudia and Ghezzel, I was able to enjoy my trip without a hitch. All the hotels were good, the tours that were arranged were fantastic, all the flights were on time. I had an amazing time and would recommend Adventure Life without hesitation.
