The Falkland Islands are serviced by two major flight routes that provide regular and convenient access to the Islands. The international airport is based at Mount Pleasant Military Complex, approximately 37 miles from Stanley - the capital city of the Falklands. LAN flies to the Falklands every Saturday morning, departing from Santiago and flying via the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas. Once a month the flight also stops in Rio Gallegos (Argentina) in both directions.

The newly formed Penguin Travel is part of the Falklands Islands Company (FIC) who have been providing cruise vessel services for more than twenty years. Penguin Travel specialises in cruise ship shore excursions, land-based tours, internal transport and transfers as well as domestic and international flights. Our Fishing Agency also provides a full range of port agency services to maritime clients?

Both East and West Falklands have excellent internal road systems linking key settlements and areas of interest. Outside of Stanley the majority of roads are un surfaced (gravel), and therefore require a vehicle capable of dealing with unfinished surfaces (such as a 4WD).

Each year thousands of tourists make the journey to the Falklands onboard a cruise ship or expedition vessel. This increasingly popular method of travel allows people to visit many sites that remain largely inaccessible to land-based tourists in the Falklands, all from the comfort and safety of a world-class vessel.

Taxis are readily available around Stanley at an affordable rate, operating seven days a week. Please note that taxis are not metered in the Falklands, so be sure to confirm the price of your trip before setting off.
