During early February 2020, we were able to cruise to the Falkland Islands with Viking during our South America & Chilean Fjords cruise. This trip has been filled with all breeds of penguins and in the Falkland Islands we saw Gentoo and King Penguins along the shore at Bluff Cove Lagoon.
The area is very rugged and terns, geese and skuas often frequent the beach. It was fun to watch the penguins interact with each other. You'll notice the white flags. They were there to tell us to not go past them so as not to disturb the breeding pairs.
There are more than 1,000 breeding pairs of Gentoo and a growing colony of King penguins.
The Sea Cabbage Cafe provided relief from the wind with a complimentary beverage and delicious home-baked treats while providing a lovely panoramic view of the cove. The gift shop had a variety of items and that's where I stocked up on Christmas presents for my grandchildren. Many of the items, if not all, can only be purchased at that location. They are not available anywhere else. Not even in England where they originate.
A must see and delightful excursion...Penguins of Bluff Cove Lagoon.
Happy travels!
