GOOD NEWS UPDATE! – Price frozen for 2026/27 season
This is a fun, shared tour which incorporates penguins, fantastic views and some short walks all in the great company of our local accredited guides who will share their knowledge and personal insights of living in a remote part of the world.
If you are arriving on a cruise ship, we will meet you at the tender landing area (Jetty Visitor Centre) for either the 9:00 or 12.00 departure time for the 2.5-hour tour.
The town tour takes in all the local landmarks and we offer the option to leave the tour at the Museum which is a short walk (10 minutes) from the Jetty Visitor Centre, or return to your pick-up point.
The tour does involve some walking over uneven ground so is not suitable for wheel chairs or those with mobility aids.

2Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck
Lying at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley's most imposing and iconic shipwreck. Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched in Sunderland in the UK in 1879 and suffered damage whilst rounding Cape Horn in 1913. She limped into Stanley for repairs but the high cost prevented any being carried out. After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place. This is a favourite place to get pictures with the back drop of Stanley and the mountains to the West.

Islanders are very proud of the Museum which provides a great insight into the social and maritime history of the Islands.
