The Falkland Islands offer a truly 'off the grid' experience. Many of the islands are home to only a handful of people. Travelers can walk amongst several different species of penguins, elephant seals, and other wildlife. Connected to the outside world primarily by once a week flights, this is one of the few last remaining truly remote areas of the world. The culture is also distinct... imagine a group of folks mostly of British descent isolated on an island group for 6 generations!
Darwin, East Falkland (Mary Curry)We arrived at Mt Pleasant airport and were met by Graham, the manager of Darwin House. The route to Darwin is a mix of paved and gravel roads. We had some lunch and then went exploring.
Graham drove us to Bobie, the southernmost suspension bridge in the world. It is a crumbling, stately structure that is no longer safe for foot or car traffic. From the bridge, we walked back toward Goose Green. This was the site of a famous battle during the 1982 Conflict in which 114 civilians were held captive in the community center for 29 days. After that, we followed the coast back to Darwin House were we had an amazing beef cobbler and fresh salad with feta and peaches. Dessert was a heavenly chocolate cream tart.
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.

We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Its a beautiful country, very friendly people, and everything went like clockwork. The local guide/driver was one of the best we've had: knowledgeable, always on time, had good ideas for what to see. Khiri Travel (the local travel agency) is terrific. Second trip we've taken with them. Recommend them and Adventure Life 100%

Adventure Life organized an incredible trip matching our desired itinerary, with perfect planning and coordination from end to end, including a hand-off of guides and drivers across an international land border. I highly recommend their services.
