float past your boat, towering white cliffs loom above you.
The Falklands and South Georgia are remote and incredibly
wildlife rich.

At the edge of the British Empire, the Falklands offer a fascinating insight into how a remote community survives in what can be often extreme conditions. Connected to the outside world by a regular RAF flight or by passing expedition cruise boats, the Falklands are best visited during the long summer days of November to March. Outside of this time the 400 or so islands are first in line for the ferocious wind and rain that blows from the Antarctic wastes below. Approximately 2500 people make the Falklands their permanent home, spread out across the archipelago many live in almost complete isolation. The landscape is similar across the islands, there are few hills and most of the land is covered in thick tussac grass. Conditions are perfect for wildlife, penguins can be found across the islands, Elephant Seals patrol the beaches while large pods of Orca Whales can be seen offshore. Seabirds such as the Southern Giant Petrel and the Sooty Albatross can be found nesting on the islands, or circling high above searching for food. On the smaller islands your closest neighbour will often be a penguin, a situation not to be found in too many other parts of the world.
Properties
Falklands’ Accommodation

The Falkland Islands does not have any high class hotels. Outside of Stanley the only option is to stay in bed and breakfast accommodation. While they may be lacking conventional facilities, the location and friendliness of the proprietors more than compensates. Wildlife is often close by; penguins may be seen waddling by the front door.
