FALKLAND ISLANDS

Kidney Cove

A 20-minute launch trip through the harbour to Sparrow Cove providing great photo opportunities as you look back at the colourful rooftops of Stanley.

From Sparrow Cove it is about a 30-minute overland transfer to the Gentoo penguin colonies on the grassy banks of Kidney Cove. One of these small colonies is also home to a small group of King penguins, and Magellanic penguins also breed on the drier slopes behind Kidney and Mine Coves. Other wildlife to look out for is Red-backed hawks, Falkland skuas, Upland geese and the Falkland Flightless steamer ducks.

Extended Tour (between 4 & 6 hours) - as above, but extended to include the Rockhopper colony further along the coast, which also offers spectacular views towards Volunteer Point. The length of this trip is tailored to suit the client and the weather.
