After breakfast, transfer to Port Howard, where you spend the next two days.
In the afternoon, visit one of the Falklands' few remaining large--and one of the most picturesque--working farms. A guided walking tour of the settlement includes stops at the shearing shed where the farm's 47,000 sheep are shorn, the 1982 war museum, the local school room, and the harbor, where you may have the chance to see a local pod of dolphins.
On Day 3, your driver/guide picks you up from your accommodation in a 4x4 vehicle for a two-hour drive to the White Rock wildlife area. Along the way, you pass the Mt Rosalie farmhouse at the foot of Mt Rosalie. This spot, near a small bay, is home to many birds, including Barn owls that nest in the outer buildings. Shepherds once lived here to watch over lambing ewes in the spring. It's also a good picnic location.
After leaving Mt Rosalie House, your driver/guide takes you up Mt Rosalie, which stands at 1,396 feet. At the summit, you get views of the West Falkland landscape, with Pebble Island and East Falkland visible in the distance. As you descend the mountain, you see the coastline, where the White Rock wildlife enjoys a cliff-top view.
Upon arrival, you settle under a natural rock wall to watch Rockhopper penguins. They clamber and hop up a small gully to reach their colony, where young chicks wait for their parents to return, hopefully with food. Be ready for the noisy welcome!
