At the beach, you'll visit a thriving colony of Gentoo penguins, where you’ll have around an hour to watch and photograph these curious, comical birds in their natural habitat. Keep an eye out — King Penguins and playful dolphins are sometimes spotted in the area too!
Your knowledgeable local guide will share fascinating facts about the penguins, wildlife behavior, and island ecology, making this more than just a sightseeing stop.
On the way back, enjoy a short photo stop at the iconic shipwreck Lady Elizabeth, where you’ll hear the remarkable story of this historic vessel.
Throughout the tour, relax in a small group setting (max 15 guests), and return to your cruise ship pier with plenty of time to spare.
