Of course there are also opportunities to head off into the open horizon to look at the wonderful flora and fauna that make this place such a special destination for the botanist and nature specialist.

A self-guided walk around Stanley will lead to many discoveries of sunken wrecks and a maritime history that spans back to the sixteen hundreds.

Whatever your desire the Falkland Islands has something for everyone. Whether on a Battlefield tour around Goose Green or up Tumbledown, be assured of a moving experience and a step back through history.

For the romantic, nature-lover, or those simply seeking a unique location to tie the knot, why not plan a wedding or honeymoon here?

Visitors to the Falkland Islands can enjoy excursions around the capital of Stanley on foot or by bus, or venture out of town and experience the island's spectacular flora and fauna by plane, boat or 4WD.

The epic landscapes and wildlife of the Falklands make it a remarkable destination for any artist.  Professional and amateur painters, photographers and film makers flock to the Islands year after year, hoping to capture a part of what makes the Falklands unique throughout the world.

Accommodation scattered across East and West Falklands and the outer islands invites artists to leave the beaten track and experience the real Falklands and taste the local brand of hospitality.  Local Travel Operators and Tour Guides can organise itineraries for any length of stay and provide advice on the best sites for your chosen medium.

Local painter Richard Cockwell regularly hosts painting holidays, download the Falkland Islands Painting Experience brochure for more information.
