• Yorke Bay - Access to the Gentoo penguins involves a short walk through sand dunes, but is well worth the effort with views looking out to sea and a chance to sit and watch the penguins going about their daily business in a pristine environment. Often (but not guaranteed) King Penguins can be found in the area.
  Commerson and Peales dolphins are often spotted frolicking in the surf, happily sharing the waters with the penguins making their entrance and exit from the sea.
  Your guide will accompany you on the walk through the dunes and be available to provide information about the area.

• Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck - Lying at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley’s most imposing and iconic shipwreck. Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched in Sunderland in the UK in 1879 and suffered damage whilst rounding Cape Horn in 1913. She limped into Stanley for repairs but the high cost prevented any being carried out. After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place.
  This is a favourite place to get pictures with the back drop of Stanley and the mountains to the West.

• Stanley - FIGAS, (Falkland Islands Government Air Service) has operated Islander aircraft since October 1979 and is the Southern-most operator of the type. The current fleet of five Islanders is essential in keeping the more remote communities connected to Stanley. In addition to air taxi flights, the carrier also undertakes air ambulance, mail delivery, freight, environmental monitoring, fishery patrol, and scenic flights.

• Government House Drive - Situated towards the western end of Stanley on Ross Road, Government House is both the home and the workplace of the Governor who is King Charles’ representative in the Falklands.

• Whalebone Arch - Constructed in 1933 from the jawbones of two blue whales, it commemorates a century of continuous British administration in the Falklands. Situated outside Christchurch Cathedral, near the supermarket, gift shop and the tender landing stage it provides excellent photo opportunities and is reccommended as a drop off point for cruise ship visitors.

• Cape Pembroke Lighthouse - Situated just over seven miles east of Stanley, the lighthouse is located on the most easterly point of the Falklands.
  The iconic lighthouse is undergoing restoration during 2024. The area is also the site of a memorial to the Atlantic Conveyor (British ship sunk during 1982 war) and home to various wildlife including seals. Whales are often spotted out to sea.

• Falkland Islands Museum - Islanders are very proud of the Museum which provides a great insight into the social and maritime history of the Islands. Be careful though as time slips away very quickly when you enter and are welcomed by the staff who are happy to chat and answer your questions. Recommended as an optional drop of point at the end of tour with just a short walk to the tender landing stage for cruise ship visitors.
