If your cruise is taking you to the remote and breathtaking Falkland Islands, you're in for a truly unforgettable experience. The islands are home to stunning wildlife, scenic beauty, and one of the most popular attractions for nature lovers: penguins. At Premium Penguin Tours, we specialize in guided wildlife excursions designed especially for cruise ship passengers, with a focus on the islands' most iconic residents. Whether you're looking for King Penguin tours, group tours, or a personalized experience, our Falkland tours have something for everyone.
Why Choose a Falkland Islands Penguin Tour?
When you step off the tender pier in Port Stanley, you want to make the most of your limited time ashore. One of the top-rated activities for cruise tourists is a Falkland Islands Penguin Tour. These tours take you up close to several penguin species, including Gentoos, Magellanics, and the majestic Kings.
Penguin tours offer a rare opportunity to observe these fascinating birds in their natural habitat, often with dramatic coastal backdrops and unspoiled beaches. With Premium Penguin Tours, you’ll also learn from experienced local guides who share insights about wildlife behavior, island history, and ecology.
Top Penguin Species You’ll See
King Penguins: These are the second-largest penguin species in the world and can be found on our full-day 4x4 King Penguin Adventure Tour.
Gentoo Penguins: Common near Yorke Bay and Bertha's Beach, these penguins are known for their bright orange beaks and playful nature.
Magellanic Penguins: Recognized by the two black bands between the head and chest, they often nest in burrows.
