Enjoy this exclusive opportunity to view the impressive birdlife of the Falkland Islands. But you don't have to be a birder to appreciate the beauty of this untouched landscape. Don't forget the camera and be sure to bring binoculars during this memorable two hour adventure. From the ship, a minibus will transport you to nearby Hadassa Bay, where your exhilarating three-and-a-half mile nature trek will begin. Your expert local guide will distribute a tour-specific checklist and give a general background to Falkland birds. As you walk over the rough terrain you can soak up the sights and sounds, and spectacular views of Stanley. Have your camera ready, many of the birds you can expect to see include dark faced ground tyrants, Falkland thrush, upland geese, long-tailed meadowlark, Falkland flightless steamer duck, rock cormorants, southern giant petrels, sooty shearwaters, Magellanic penguins, black-throated finch and up to as many as 30 other species.
