Visiting the Falkland Islands | What You Need to Know

Falkland Islands Travel Guide

The Falkland Islands are an archipelago of seven hundred or so low, rocky islands which look like they’ve been flung out into the South Atlantic Ocean by the hooked tip of South America. Lying a few hundred kilometres from the coast of Argentina, a troubled history means they look further afield for their closest connections; up the length of the Atlantic to the British Isles, 9,000km (5,600 miles) to the north. The islands are an outpost of Britishness, and a gateway to Antarctica, South Georgia, and the wild Southern Ocean. There’s really nowhere quite like the Falkland Islands.

These small islands aren’t widely known outside certain spheres of interest, making them a destination for curious and intrepid travellers to explore. They’re not easy to travel to, nor particularly affordable, filing them in a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trip category for most who visit. Planning and preparation are key to making the most of your trip, so read on to learn more in my guide to visiting the Falkland Islands.

In this guide for travellers, you’ll find the information needed for planning a visit to the Falkland Islands, including the best things to do, with options for different seasons, background on the history and ecology of the islands, and detailed travel information. If you can’t find what you need to know about visiting the Falkland Islands, post your question in the comments, and I’ll do my best to answer it and update this post!

A Comprehensive Guide to Visiting the Falkland Islands

Background Information

The Falkland Islands are a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom, meaning they determine their own internal matters while the UK has responsibility for defence and foreign policy. Falkland Islanders are British Citizens. The islands are located in the South Atlantic just 700km (435 miles) north of Antarctica, and around 500km (310 miles) from their nearest landfall in Argentina.

Settlements | Stanley (formerly known as Port Stanley) is the capital of the Falkland Islands, and was elevated to city status in 2022 as part of the Platinum Jubilee honours. The only other settlement of similar size is MPC, the Mount Pleasant Complex military station surrounding the airport, also on East Falkland. Areas outside Stanley are known as Camp, with small farm settlements at Goose Green and Darwin on East Falkland island, Port Howard and Fox Bay on West Falkland, and on the outer islands.

Population | Only around 3,500 people live in the Falkland Islands, mostly in and around Stanley, with around 350 people in Camp and on the outer islands. Around 1,000 or so are stationed at the Mount Pleasant military complex at any time, with many rotating thorough deployments from the UK. Most residents are Falkland Islanders of British descent, and there are also significant populations from the UK, Saint Helena, Chile, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Zimbabwe. The main industries are fishing and farming, and around a quarter of the population works for the Falkland Islands Government.

Visitors | Around 60,000 people visit the Falkland Islands each year, the vast majority as part of a cruise voyage. Only around 10% of visitors travel independently, due to the off-the-beaten-track location and expense of travel to the islands.

Languages | The official language of the Falkland Islands is English, with a distinctive local accent. You hear other languages spoken by resident communities including Chilean Spanish, Saint Helenian English, Filipino Tagalog, and Zimbabwean Shona.

Currency | The Falkland Island Pound (FKP) is the official currency and is pegged to British Pounds Sterling (GBP), and US dollars may also be accepted as payment. Most businesses take virtual payment forms like Visa, Mastercard, and even Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Connection | The local internet provider is called Sure, and is super expensive and only available in a few hotspot locations. Your accommodation may have its own hotspot, but the connection is often patchy. Costs are around £15 for a 12-hour data card or £25 for a 24-hour card. Consider your visit as an opportunity to disconnect from social media for a while.

Did you Know? | These islands are occasionally referred to as Islas Malvinas or Las Malvinas in Spanish, derived from the French name Îles Malouines given by the explorer Louis-Antoine de Bourgainville who founded the first settlement on the island, named after his hometown of St Malo in Brittany. You won’t hear the name said locally however, due to the controversial territorial claim to the islands made by Argentina which erupted into open conflict in 1982. In a recent referendum on nationality, over 98% of the residents voted to remain a British Overseas Territory.

Visiting the Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands are a long way from everywhere, and their relative isolation in the South Atlantic is one of the big attractions for those who can set aside the time, and the money, to get here. Visitors will find a breathtaking landscape of silver sand beaches lapped by gin-clear water, rocky crags looming over sweeping landscapes, and a range of outstanding wildlife encounters, from charismatic penguins and distinguished albatrosses to thrilling orcas and soul-stirring sei whales. It’s not easy or cheap to get to the Falkland Islands, but if you’re planning a South American or Antarctic itinerary, they make a wonderful addition. After all, when are you next likely to be in the neighbourhood?

How to get to the Falkland Islands

The vast majority of visitors to the Falklands arrive onboard a cruise ship, usually departing from Ushuaia, at the southernmost tip of Argentina, or Montevideo, Uruguay, passing through on a South American itinerary or a once-in-a-lifetime voyage to Antarctica and South Georgia. There are usually a couple of sea days onboard before reaching Stanley.

However, if you want to stay longer and travel independently in the Falklands, there are a couple of options for flights to the islands, and they can be part of a South American travel itinerary.

The most direct route from northern Europe is the twice-weekly Falklands Airbridge service operated by the UK Ministry of Defence from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, England. A limited number of seats are available for civilians on each flight, though at certain times of year, the service may be fully subscribed with young Falkland Islanders travelling to school and university in the UK, and staff from the British Antarctic Survey transiting through Stanley on their way South. Bookings are made through the Falkland Islands Government Office, and return fares are currently listed at £2,222.00.

The alternative is to fly with LATAM Airlines from Santiago or Punta Arenas in Chile. The flight departs once a week on a Saturday, taking around 5-6 hours from Santiago, and just over 2 hours from Punta Arenas. Once a month the service also calls by Rio Gallegos in Argentina. Santiago is well connected to routes from Europe, North America, and the Pacific region.

All international flights arrive at Mount Pleasant Airport, part of the military complex managed by the UK Ministry of Defence. Bus transfers by Penguin Travel are available from the airport to Stanley, 56km (35 miles) away or around an hour’s drive, but if travelling independently, your accommodation and an airport transfer must be arranged prior to arrival.

Travelling within the Falkland Islands

If you’re visiting on a cruise ship, getting around won’t be a challenge. You’ll land by zodiac close to where you need to be and walk the rest of the way. In Stanley, the ship might go alongside at FIPASS, and from the port, you can walk or take a bus to the centre of town. Your cruise company may also organise day tours from Stanley.

Vehicle hire can be arranged from Stanley Services and Moody Enterprises. Almost all of the vehicles are 4x4s, as outside of Stanley most of the roads are gravel. In some areas of Camp off-road driving skills are essential, and may not be covered in your rental agreement. Rental vehicles may not be permitted to cross on the ferry to West Falkland, mainly due to the lack of roads on the island and a history of people getting bogged.

The Falkland Islands Government Air Service (FIGAS) operates a few Interislander aircraft which connect East and West Falkland and many of the outer islands with daily flights from Stanley Airport. They also offer the opportunity to take a round-robin scenic flight from Stanley.

A vehicle ferry, the Concordia Bay, connects the two largest islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, between New Haven and Port Howard, and every six weeks makes an extended voyage as the supply vessel for the outer islands. You can find schedules and fares here.

Did you Know? | Everything located outside of Stanley is referred to as Camp, including the other sizeable settlements of Fox Bay, Darwin-Goose Green, and Port Howard, from the Spanish word campo, meaning countryside, a throwback to when farms in the islands employed Patagonian gauchos to tend the livestock. Even until the 1980s, horseback was the main way to get around in Camp.

The best time to travel to the Falkland Islands

Most visitors to the Falkland Islands arrive as part of a cruise ship itinerary, either on an expedition voyage taking in Antarctica and South Georgia, as part of a South American tour, or on an ocean crossing that could also call at the off-the-beaten-track islands of St Helena and Tristan da Cunha on the way to Cape Town, South Africa.

With a milder maritime climate than Antarctica, the Falklands has a much longer cruise season, usually starting in the austral spring, around September, and continuing through until April. Temperatures range from an average of around 15°C in the middle of summer, to a low of around -5°C in winter. I spent time there in November, where we experienced everything from bright, breezy days to brief snow showers, then again in March, when we had a week of calm, sunny and warm conditions. Weather conditions are very similar to those experienced in northern Scotland or Denmark.

Early Season (September to November)

Spring is the best time for watching wildlife, as the islands will be bustling with activity. Elephant seals and sealions will be returning to breeding beaches and competing for territory. Birds, like penguins and albatrosses, will be re-establishing their pair bonds, constructing and repairing nests, and making their courtship displays before mating begins in earnest. I found when the wind is gentle, it’s also heavenly-scented with the gorse flowers and Christmas bush blossom which bloom at this part of the season.

Mid-Season (December and January)

These are often the best months to visit, as the days are longer and conditions drier and warmer, making it better for exploring ashore and heading out on hikes. The sea might still feel quite refreshing for a swim, but the beaches are at their best and you’re likely to catch glimpses of hatching chicks at penguin colonies. There’s also plenty of events held around Christmas and New Year, like the Stanley Races and sheep-shearing demonstrations.

Late Season (February to April)

The end of the summer brings different wildlife experiences as breeding birds begin to fledge and leave their nesting colonies, taking to the seas and skies. Late summer and early autumn is the time to scan the seas around the islands, as the number of whales and dolphins spotted close to shore reaches its peak.

Five Unforgettable Locations to visit in the Falkland Islands

The main attractions for visitors to the Falkland Islands are the wildlife havens and the wild landscapes, and the opportunity to get away from it all. Travelling in the islands necessitates a bit of self-reliance, as there’s not always information on what to see or do available in the lodges, and internet access is limited and expensive or non-existent. Research before you travel, and make a plan of places you want to visit and things that you’d like to do.

One of the real pleasures of travel within the islands, and something that’s a rare experience elsewhere, is getting to know everyone you encounter by name. Friendliness and hospitality are the way of life here, and don’t be surprised to know the names of your hosts, drivers, pilots, cooks and servers, even the sheep shearers out in Camp, and their connection to everyone else you might have encountered. The connections you’ll make are part of the charm of the islands.

If you’re visiting as part of a cruise, the itinerary will be determined by the expedition leader on your voyage, but it’s still worth doing your research to make the most of the experience.

Stanley | The newest city in the British Overseas Territories since 2022, Stanley is home to most of the island’s population. Colourful wooden houses with corrugated metal roofs lining the south side of a natural harbour give it a Shetlandic look, and the red postbox and telephone boxes and Union flags leave you in no doubt of the identity of Kelpers, as locals are known. The Falkland Islands Museum at the Historic Dockyard is comprehensive, and will easily occupy a few hours, and the Tourist Office can help you book guided tours. There are several good restaurants and cafés in town, a craft brewery and gin distillery, and the Victory Bar has a famous reputation. The wildlife reserve at Gypsy Cove and the battlefield site at Mount Tumbledown are both within walking distance of town, and you can check out my guide to Stanley for more ideas.

Saunders Island | Saunders is the location of the first British settlement in the Falklands, Port Egmont, and you can still see the remains of buildings dating back to 1765, but the main attractions for visitors are the wildlife sites at The Rookery and The Neck, where it’s possible to get close views of five species of penguins and nesting black-browed albatrosses. The island is an internationally recognised Important Bird Area. The Neck is a classic Falkland view, a sweeping isthmus lined with white sand beaches backed by rounded hills and bog. Commerson’s and dusky dolphins can be seen playing in the surf, and later in the season, southern right whales will hang out in the bay. Elephant seals use the beach at Elephant Point for breeding early in the season, and are often spotted hanging out on the shore. Visitor accommodation is available in Saunders Island Settlement, and in rustic cabins at The Rookery and The Neck. Find out more here.

Carcass Island | The name comes from HMS Carcass, the ship which originally surveyed the island back in 1766, and doesn’t quite seem to fit with the white sand beaches and tropical blue water. Though it has been a working sheep station for over a century, careful management has preserved large areas of native tussac grass, which along with the rodent-free status of the island, makes it a haven for songbirds, including the endemic Cobb’s wren. Carcass is also an internationally recognised Important Bird Area. The hike along the island from the settlement to Leopard Beach is a highlight; basking elephant seals and southern sea lions can be spotted on the shore, and sei whales, Peale’s and Commerson’s dolphins can be seen in the waters off the island. Visitor accommodation is available at Carcass Island House, a restored farmhouse on Port Patterson bay. Find out more here.

Fox Bay| Fox Bay, on West Falkland, is the largest settlement outside of Stanley and the location of the only other Post Office on the islands, but don’t expect anything comparable in size. The farming settlement is divided into Fox Bay East and West, each with around 12 residents, on either side of a wide bay. Coast Ridge Farm in Fox Bay East has several beautiful walking routes, some short walks close to the settlement, and longer routes taking in the rugged East Head, the Coast Ridge with its rockhopper penguin colony, and stunning Carcass Bay. Farmers Keith and Nuala Knight give tours of the farm and wool shed outside of the shearing season, and visitors can watch the shearing work in the spring and summer. Visitor accommodation is available at Coast Ridge Farm and Cottage in Fox Bay East and Black Shanty House in Fox Bay West.

West Point Island | I think this is one of my favourite places in the Falklands, a beautiful island and working sheep station off the northwest corner of West Falkland. The only way to reach West Point is on a cruise voyage or by hitching a lift on a boat, as the challenging airstrip is only used in emergencies. There’s no tourist accommodation on the island, so most visitors stay on nearby Carcass Island and take a day trip across. From the settlement, a landrover track leads over the hill to a seabird colony on steep cliffs known as the Devil’s Nose, home to thousands of black-browed albatrosses and southern rockhopper penguins. West Point, along with nearby skerries and sea stacks, is an internationally recognised Important Bird Area, and cruising under the cliffs reveals the true scale of the population. The island’s caretakers, Theis and Kicki, keep the Falklands tradition of smoko, serving freshly baked cakes and cups of tea for visitors in the beautiful garden of the old farmhouse; dating from 1880, it is one of the oldest continuously occupied buildings in the archipelago.

Accommodation in places in Camp and on the outer islands may seem initially seem expensive, but do bear in mind that you’re not just paying for a bed in a room. Included in the cost will be transfers to and from the airfield, and taxis around the settlement or island, plus good meals with friendly company, coffee and chat at smoko time, and often a personal tour guide for the time of your stay. You can’t put a price on becoming part of the community.

Not-to-be-missed Experiences in the Falkland Islands

A visit to the Falkland Islands is an opportunity to see and do a wide variety of things in an off-the-beaten track destination, but there’s a few highlights to make sure to experience while you’re there. These are five things to look out for:

Penguin Encounters | The Falkland Islands are one of the best places in the world to see penguins, and it’s one of the biggest draws for visitors. Around one million penguins nest in the islands through the austral summer, and there’s a possible five species to encounter; Magellanic, known locally as jackass penguins for their distinctive braying call; regal-looking King penguins; raucous Gentoos, charismatic Southern Rockhoppers, and the elusive Macaroni, found only in a few locations across the islands.

Learn about Military History | I’m not old enough (just!) to remember the Falklands War, but the events that took place over 74 days between March and July 1982 on a far-flung archipelago in the South Atlantic played out on evening news reports and in the daily papers around the world, and for many are the reason why some of the local names are so familiar. The Falkland Islands Museum in Stanley is the best starting point to unravel stories of the conflict, while walking the ground on a battlefield tour reveals a greater insight, including seeing abandoned equipment and the impact craters of artillery fire. Over 900 people lost their lives, the majority young Argentine conscripts, and a visit to the war cemeteries in places like San Carlos and Darwin, and to memorials for ships like the Atlantic Conveyor, Sir Galahad, and Sir Tristram, are a poignant reminder.

Walking and Hiking | The Falkland Islands have superb walking and hiking opportunities, often with very few other people around to intrude on the feeling of remote wildness or chance to get close to wildlife. Options include leisurely beach walks, long hikes to phenomenal wildlife-watching locations, and mountainous hikes in stunning landscapes. Well-known mountain names from the 1982 conflict, Tumbledown, Harriet, Longdon, Two Sisters, and Wireless Ridge, are all easily accessible from Stanley and make interesting hill walks, occasionally with easy scrambles to summit cairns for an additional challenge.

Land Rover Spotting | It’s often said that the Falkland Islands are the spiritual home of the Land Rover Defender, a distinctive-looking vehicle with a go-anywhere workhorse reputation. Their rugged capability off-road and ability to be repaired with just basic equipment made them indispensable around Camp, and the locals have grown to love them. Look out for Land Rovers everywhere around Stanley; used as emergency vehicles by the Police, Fire Service, and as an ambulance; as official Government transport; for transporting farm supplies; and as everyday runarounds and pimped-up projects.

Island Escapes | When the hustle and bustle(!) of Stanley gets too much, get away from it all with a trip to stay in a tourist lodge on one of the outer islands, like Saunders or Carcass, or a farmstay on West Falkland. The journey starts with a FIGAS flight in a small plane to a grassy airstrip, a superb way to see more of the islands on its own, often followed by a Land Rover ride to your accommodation with your hosts as tour guides. The wild, white sand beaches, rocky headlands, and grassy camps will be yours to explore, or you can get to know the local community around the farm and join folk for a traditional smoko break.

The Falkland Islands Wildlife Big Five

The archipelago of the Falkland Islands is an island refuge in the wild Southern Ocean, with a distinctive biodiversity that reflects that of Patagonia and Antarctica, with species uncommon elsewhere in the world. For most visitors, their Falkland experience centres around exceptional wildlife encounters. These are the top five species to look out for:

King Penguin | The largest penguin species found in the Falkland Islands, King penguins are a real highlight. These islands are the northern edge of their circumpolar sub-Antarctic breeding range, and the best place to see them is the colony at Volunteer Point, home to around 1,000 pairs during the breeding season.

Orca | Around 20 species of cetacean have been recorded in Falklands waters, with nine species regularly seen around the islands. But the unmistakable black and white appearance and tall dorsal fin of the Orca or Killer Whale spotted in the surf off the island’s beaches always creates a buzz. The best places to spot Orcas are Sea Lion Island and Surf Bay, just outside Stanley.

Elephant Seal | The Southern Elephant Seal is the largest member of the seal family, with adult beachmaster males weighing up to 3,700kg and reaching 4.5 to 5 metres in length, around 5 times larger than the females. They can spend quite a lot of time ashore on their breeding beaches. The best places to see Elephant Seals is Sea Lion Island, where the population is part of a long-term research project, and Carcass Island.

Southern Right Whale | These distinctive-looking whales, with large white callosities around their head, were hunted to the brink in the past, but numbers have increased steadily since the cessation of whaling. They are found in oceanic waters around the Falklands year-round but come near shore in winter to socialise and mate. Read about the Southern Right Whale tracking project here.

Striated Caracara | The Falkland Islands are home to around 230 species of bird, and while enormous seabird colonies around the coast are a big attraction for visitors, the other avian inhabitants of the island are not lacking in character. Known locally as a Johnny Rook, these rare birds are found across the Falklands and have an inquisitive nature that guarantees a memorable encounter.

Visa Requirements

British citizens do not need a visa to enter the Falkland Islands, and neither does anyone arriving on a cruise ship and participating in shore excursions. If you plan to arrive by air, or spend a longer time in the islands you may need to apply for a visa if you are not from a country covered by the Falklands’ via exemption scheme. More information and a list of exempt countries can be found on the Falklands Tourist Board website.

The Falklands have strict biosecurity regulations to ensure their environment is protected. Any outdoor equipment and hiking boots you bring should be checked and cleaned.

Health and Wellbeing

If you’re reaching the Falkland Islands on a ship, you may encounter rough conditions in the Southern Ocean. Even experienced sailors may take a few days to get used to the feel of a new vessel, and feel dodgy for the first day or so (hello, this is me). Take your preferred sea-sickness treatment with you, and ensure you have an adequate supply. Some medications may not be readily available once you’re on the road, though the ship’s doctor will always have a supply of something to help with the symptoms, and can access stronger medication for extreme cases.

On board a cruise ship you’ll be sharing space with people from around the world, which increases the risk of infections. Take the same precautions you would at home to minimise risk, such as using hand sanitiser frequently, and ensure that your essential vaccines are up to date before departure. These would be things such as: MMR (measles, mumps and rubella); diphtheria; tetanus; polio; Covid-19, and seasonal flu; plus any additional travel vaccines for regions you may have travelled through prior to your voyage.

The weather in the Falkland Islands is comparable to what you might expect in Scotland, the southern part of Scandinavia, and Patagonia, and you should dress accordingly. Wearing several thin layers is key to regulating your body temperature depending on exertion, and a waterproof outer layer can also be the best protection from the wind, which in the Falkland Islands, can be relentless.

The atmosphere in the region is ozone-depleted, and intense sunrays can penetrate through more easily, even on overcast days. High-factor sunblock (F30 or higher) should be applied regularly to avoid sunburn, and sunglasses with adequate UV protection worn whenever you’re outside, even when it’s cloudy.

Most of the wildlife you’ll encounter poses no risk, however, sea lions and fur seals can give a nasty bite and move faster than you may anticipate. At times they can be aggressive as they try to defend their territories, and moving away from visitors can bring them into conflict with each other. When you’re in an area where they are found, you’ll need to be extra vigilant.

A Packing List for the Falkland Islands

Selecting the right clothing and equipment is one of the most important parts of travel preparation. If you’re travelling to the Falkland Islands on a cruise vessel, many tour operators provide you with warm and waterproof outer layers, including jackets, trousers, and gumboots, so be sure to check what’s included when you book.

As these are usually geared for voyages taking in Antarctica and South Georgia, you may find them too much for the Falkland Islands, so think about taking a lightweight waterproof hardshell jacket and trousers, and hiking boots, especially if you plan on any walking in camp. Layers are key for coping with variable weather, but it’s not that cold and you can skip the super thermal baselayer (unless you’re carrying on to Antarctica).

Your packing list should include:

• Waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers
• Hiking boots
• Down jacket or fleece warm layer
• Warm hat
• Buff / toob neck gaiter
• Gloves
• Hiking trousers x1
• Hoodie, fleece or wool sweater mid layers x1
• Long-sleeve top or shirt x1
• T shirts x3
• Merino wool hiking socks x5
• Sunglasses x1

Other important items to think about:

• Camera, and a selection of lenses
• Spare batteries
• Waterproof cases for electronics
• Journal and a sketchbook
• Binoculars and a wildlife guide. I recommend this one from Falklands Conservation.
• Smartphone

Top Travel Trips for the Falkland Islands

• The most spectacular wildlife behaviour is usually seen early in the season, as fur seals and elephant seals battle to become beachmasters. However, later is often better for whale watching, including spotting rare Southern Right Whales close to shore.
• Don’t forget seasickness remedies if visiting by ship. Southern Ocean sailing can mean large swells which may leave all but the most experienced seafarers feeling rough. Your sea days are opportunities for wildlife watching or listening to presentations from experts, and you don’t want to spend all that time cooped up in a cabin.
• Invest in good photography equipment or look at renting gear, especially a zoom lens, and learn how to use it to best effect. You’ll want to take memorable photos, though that being said, don’t live through a lens and remember to put your camera down once in a while to engage all your senses.
• Make an effort to learn about the events of the 1982 conflict, as it had a significant impact in shaping the psyche of the local population, and in their relationship with both the UK and Argentina. The Falklands Museum in Stanley is a good place to start, as are books like The Battle for the Falklands by Max Hastings, One Hundred Days by Sandy Woodward, and Argentine Fight for the Falklands by Martin Middlebrook.
• Get a good travel insurance policy. The Falkland Islands can be considered a remote location, and medical provision is limited, so take out a policy which includes emergency evacuation cover. There’s the possibility a cruise ship may have to divert for someone else’s emergency; I know of a few which had to alter plans to deal with medical evacuations and rescue assistances during my seasons in South Georgia and Antarctica.
• Prepare to embrace the unpredictability of the experience; chance wildlife encounters and changing weather conditions can lead to last minute changes to itineraries, but could also create that unforgettable highlight of your whole trip.

I travelled to the Falkland Islands on route to a posting in South Georgia, for the South Georgia Heritage Trust. Travel to and from the Falkland Islands and accommodation in Stanley was provided by my employer in partnership with the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and some activities were provided for me by the Falkland Islands Tourist Board. I’ve since returned on several occasions in other roles and funded other activities by myself. All opinions are my own.
