If you’re planning a trip to the Falkland Islands, one experience you simply cannot miss is a penguin tour. At Premium Penguin Tours, we specialize in creating unforgettable wildlife adventures, offering the best penguin tours in the Falklands. Our group tours are popular with cruise visitors, and we even provide discounts for bookings of 6 guests or more.

From the pristine sands of Bertha’s Beach to the breathtaking dunes of Yorke Bay, our tours give you the chance to witness penguins and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

Gentoo penguins gather during the breeding season at Bertha's Beach, forming a bustling colony under the December sun.

Bertha’s Beach – A Pristine Penguin Paradise

Tour Duration: Approximately 4–5 hours (including travel and time at the beach)

Located about 40 km southwest of Stanley, Bertha’s Beach is one of the Falklands’ most spectacular coastal destinations. This stunning stretch of white sand is home to an estimated 800 Gentoo penguins, which can be seen nesting, waddling along the shore, or diving into the surf.

But Gentoo penguins aren’t the only attraction. You may also spot:

Magellanic penguins and occasionally King penguins.
Commerson’s and Peale’s dolphins, often playing in the waves.
A variety of seabirds, including Turkey vultures, Upland geese, and small coastal birds.
Over 80 species of flowering plants, five of which are unique to the Falkland Islands.
Seals, occasionally hunting near the beach.

This combination of rich wildlife and beautiful scenery makes Bertha’s Beach one of the most popular Falkland tour destinations.

Yorke Bay – Up Close with Gentoo Penguins

Another highlight of our Falkland penguin tours is Yorke Bay, just a short drive from Stanley.

The experience begins with a walk through soft sand dunes, leading you to a pristine beach where you can sit quietly and watch Gentoo penguins go about their daily activities. This is a truly special moment, as the penguins are often just a few meters away.

With some luck, you might also spot a few King penguins mingling among the colony, along with Magellanic penguins and playful dolphins in the surf.
