This penguin safari is the fastest way to visit the seldom-visited Subantarctic Islands of South Georgia and Falklands, before concluding at the awe-inspiring 7th continent.
The pristine beaches of South Georgia, teeming with regal king penguins and majestic elephant seals, offer a profound encounter with nature’s grandeur. Wander through the quaint English village of Stanley in the Falklands. Pay homage to the legendary explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and venture deeper into the Antarctica seas where the rugged peninsula houses an abundant wildlife.
