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.

great travel company. We called for a last minute trip to Svalbard. Kevin gave great advice and worked fast, and emailed promptly. He even got us some last minute discounts. Highly recommend!
We also traveled through Adventure Life on another Arctic cruise, and they supported us through some trying circumstances.

It was nice to speak to a representative who answered all my questions. No pushy sales pitch. She called me when I requested a phone call and was pleasant and helpful. Big thank you to Karilyn Owen.
