Penguins, seals, albatross – all in
their natural environment, without viewing platforms or hundreds
of other people to jostle with to get the perfect photograph; white
sandy beaches, rolling grasslands, superb walking opportunities,
clear unpolluted skies and crime free. If the natural world is more
appealing to you than city life then the Falklands may be the destination
for your next holiday. We are quietly confident that by the time
you leave you will fully understand why the Falkland Islands are
the natural choice ….
The Falklands are sold on a purely tailor-made
basis and itineraries can be created specifically to suit the client’s
length of stay, interests (whether it be wildlife watching, walking,
military history, fishing or just general interest) and budget.
In addition, the Falklands are an ideal
add-on to a mainland South American holiday or perhaps as a pre
or post Antarctic and/or South Georgia cruise tour destination.
When to visit The main season runs from October to
April with the shoulders being primarily attractive to those visitors
with an interest in fishing. November to February is prime wildlife-viewing
time. Take a look at the wildlife
calendar to see what stage each species is at in its breeding
cycle to help you decide on the timing of your visit. It is possible
to visit the Islands anytime of year however most of the main destinations
are closed out of season.
Sample Itineraries The Falklands are sold purely on a tailor-made
basis so your itinerary will be created to suit your specific length
of stay, interests and budget. However these sample itineraries
will give you an idea of what is possible within one to two weeks.
