Penguins of the Far South: Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica, Operated by Quark

Start & end in Ushuaia 20 days Up to 12

About this trip

Twenty days across three of the South Atlantic's wildest places — the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula — built around birds, penguins and ice.

You start in Stanley, a small English-feel town in the Falklands, then head out to dunes and seabird cliffs before sailing on to South Georgia, where king penguins breed on the beaches in huge numbers alongside a fair bit of human history. The trip ends on the Antarctic Peninsula itself, among glaciers and pack ice.

It's a wildlife-first itinerary with room to choose activities and join the onboard educational programme, rather than a fixed daily script.

What you'll do

  • Walk the streets of Stanley in the Falklands
  • Birdwatch at seabird cliffs and dunes
  • See king penguin colonies on South Georgia's beaches

Good to know

  • Moderate pace, with a choice of optional activities alongside the core programme
  • Weather and ice conditions can affect the exact route and landings
