The Rockhopper Penguin Colony at Murrell Farm

November 16, 2017 10:30am

Duration: 4.00 Hrs.

This wonderful tour gives you an exclusive opportunity to observe the
most whimsical members of the penguin world, the Rockhopper
Penguin, as they cavort in their natural environment.
Boarding your minibus at the pier, your excursion begins with a brief
tour of Stanley, passing several of the town's main highlights before
heading off on a newly constructed road to Murrell Farm. Due to this
recent construction, visitors now have had the chance to experience
these delightful penguins which are rarely found in other destinations.

Along the way, you'll view the interesting and varied landscape of the
island, including the mountainous areas that were involved in the later
stages of the Falklands conflict. A scenic vantage point along your route
also allows for some excellent panoramic views of the capital Stanley
and your ship in the harbor.

Arriving at Murrell Farm, you'll transfer to a 4X4 vehicle where an
experienced overland driver will expertly navigate the rugged terrain
