Falkland Islands travel advice
Tips on when to see wildlife
“Although the Falklands are perhaps best known for their military past, they are home to a huge array of flora and fauna and provide some fantastic opportunities for nature lovers!. November to March is when the weather is more favourable”
Going by ship
“The Falkland Islands are incredible and have a lot of wildlife including six or seven different species of penguin, rockhoppers, albatross and dolphins that follow the bow waves of our Zodiacs. People tend to associate the Falklands with its history and the war, but we have to get over that and think about the unbelievable wildlife and environment that's there. It's a wonderful contrast of amazing wildlife, Victorian architecture and the odd Tesco! It's definitely the most developed place we visit and has a strong cultural and historical identity, which you can explore off the boat.”
“If you’re super rigid and you want to stick to a schedule you won’t be happy on one of these trips. They try and stick to schedule but they’re not going to bypass a whale to make a landing; they try and pick the best option for you to have the best experience.”

Packing advice
“As the Falklands are quite exposed they can get very windy and the weather can be changeable so I recommend taking a fleece and windproof jacket.”

Falkland Islands advice from our travelers
We have selected some of the most useful Falklands travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your vacation – and the space inside your suitcase.


“Everything was memorable from the penguins on the Falkland Islands to the turtles on Ascension Island. Learning about the very different cultures in these places was something life changing and the welcome we received everywhere was the best I have ever known… The flight from Santiago is very long (14 hours) and as LANChile won't let you book single flights and so charge for return it is better to travel both ways by Airbridge from Brize Norton. This does away with the budget Iberia flight from Heathrow to Madrid and the horrors of Madrid airport.” – Di Lammas


“These islands all need tourism to boost the economy and it is simply a matter of joining in with their ways of life, so nothing special is being built for tourists, but there is plenty of room, and plenty to see and do.” – Di Lammas
