Falkland Islands
Bird photographers paradise
Falkland Islands in early summer
The Falkland Islands provide some of the best photo opportunities for penguins like Rockhopper penguins and Magellanic penguins, together with some endemic birds, albatrosses, and marine mammals. We will stay and photograph on private land, and you will have the chance to get close to the wildlife and also move more freely around to get the right background or position. There will only be 7 photographers and 1 photo guide in each group. We will be back with more dates for the Falkland Islands 2026.
The accommodation on Saunders Island is basic, but we will stay close to the wildlife which we can photograph to our liking. On Sea Lion Island the accommodation is more comfortable, with the possibility of single room occupancy if available.
Once arriving back to Port Stanley we will check in at Malvina House for our last evening with the possibility to photograph more penguins at sunset. The next morning we will photograph birds at sunrise close to Port Stanley.
