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.45 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck
Walebone Cove, Stanley, Falkland Islands, FIQQ 1ZZLying 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.15 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView LocationStanley(Pass By)
