Let the Bertha’s Beach Penguins Make You Smile

Visit gentoo penguins on a pristine beach during our 5-hour tour. A bit over an hour’s drive from Stanley, Bertha’s Beach will welcome us with its white sands and crystal clear water. The area has been recognized as a wetland site of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.

We will visit the colony of Gentoo penguins - noisy, but fascinating creatures. Lunch on the beach or in the car, your choice, might be a bit windy there. Afterwards we will travel back to Yorke Bay and Gypsy Cove to see even more penguins on the dunes or in burrows(if we are lucky). Lady Liz is a must see landmark in Falklands, you will have a chance to know why. We then show you the highlights of Stanley, the capital city of the Falklands.
