Things to do in Falkland Islands (Stanley)

Stanley sits on East Falkland Island, battered by South Atlantic wind and rough seas. It’s the kind of place ships once feared and yet people still visit because nothing else looks quite like it. It’s tiny, historic and stubbornly remote, making it perfect for wildlife, heritage and some seriously wild scenery. Stanley cruises aren’t beach vacations; they’re nature on full blast and history that knows how to take a hit.

  • Stone cathedral with red trim behind a large whalebone arch on a grassy lawn under bright blue skies in Stanley.

    Visit Christ Church Cathedral and its famous Whalebone Arch; those are bones of blue whales, making a monument out of scale.

  • Old wooden ship mast secured with rusted metal bands, displayed on concrete supports beside a bright blue bay in the Falkland Islands.

    Explore battlefields and memorials from the 1982 war (raw reminders that even remote places can carry deep scars).

  • Three king penguins standing on a wide sandy beach with turquoise water and gentle surf in the Falkland Islands.

    See penguin colonies at Volunteer Point or the gentoo penguins at Newans Station.

  • Black-browed albatross standing on a raised mud nest with wings spread wide, surrounded by grass and rocky terrain.

    Walk among albatross, seals and coastal landscapes that feel utterly indifferent to the tourists they encounter.

    74 Days to Victory

    This panoramic tour takes you from quiet Stanley streets to the fierce battle sites of the Falklands war. You’ll drive to Fitzroy and witness memorials at Sapper Hill, Mt. William, Wireless Ridge and more. Guides will share stories of the brutal 74‑day campaign and you’ll follow roads that saw armored vehicles and war‑planes juxtaposed against sheep farms. It’s raw, emotional and unforgettable.

  • Sheep grazing on a grassy field in the Falkland Islands with large groups of penguins scattered across the background near a windy shoreline.

    Fitzroy Farm Tour

    Swap coastlines for sheared sheep and patagonian winds on this half‑day farm experience. Visit Fitzroy Farms where dogs herd sheep, polytunnels grow produce and the locals break for “smoko” with scones and pastries. You’ll feel the land, meet the people and see how life ticks when you’re this close to the edge of the map.

  • Upward view of the Whalebone Arch’s curved whale jawbones set against a blue sky filled with scattered white clouds.

    Taste of the Falklands & City Drive

    Gentoo Penguins Expedition at Newans Station

    Your tender lands, you transfer to a 4×4, then off‑road across East Falkland’s wild landscape to Newans Station. There you’ll find about 200 breeding pairs of gentoo penguins hopping around, joined by Southern giant petrels, skuas and kelp gulls. The 4×4 ride is rugged and the wildlife doesn’t wait for you — and that’s what makes it such a fantastic adventure.

  • Wide view of a large colony of gentoo penguins standing on pale, sandy ground near low green vegetation with the blue ocean and a small island in the background.

    Bertha’s Beach & Flatlands Wildlife Excursion

    Drive off the beaten path and then keep going… right into East Falkland’s remote Bertha’s Beach. It’s white sand, Arctic‑adjacent cliffs and a RAMSAR‑designated wetland where penguins, seabirds and the national flower (Pale Maidens), live in areas Charles Darwin once catalogued. This one is about four hours long, so bring some grit and a healthy respect for the elements.

Explore itineraries with cruises to Stanley

The port of Stanley is an anchorage port, meaning you get to transfer to shore via ship’s tender. Weather conditions may impact tendering, so be ready for delays or changes. That said, once ashore you’re in the heart of history, wildlife and coastline that refuses to behave politely. These Stanley cruises are typically part of broader South America itineraries into remote corners of the Atlantic, but this stop stands on its own: sea sprayed, penguin packed and all the better for it.
