Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica - Birding Special 19 days
Aboard: M/V Janssonius
This trip is the ultimate in the Antarctic region, taking in the Falkland Islands with their varied and accessible wildlife and friendly inhabitants as well as South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. South Georgia is the jewel of the South Atlantic with spectacular breeding colonies of king penguins and albatross along with many more species of birds and mammals, all in a magnificent setting. The Antarctic peninsula and Weddell Sea area provides the opportunity to not only view unique wildlife close-up but also set foot on one of the last great wildernesses on earth.
This itinerary will feature a special focus on the magnificent birdlife that can be found in these incredible regions. There will be at least one dedicated expedition guide in your team who will share their expert knowledge about bird species and who will be available to help you identify, photograph on deck and learn more about the birds that we see.

Now that I am back from my odyssey voyage, I thought I would let you know that after all that planning it really did exceed my expectations – we managed landings everywhere even on Tristan da Cuhna and had great bird sightings. The guides all knew what they were talking about too and made sure I got some great photos – still sorting them all out! Thanks for everything and see you at Birdfair!
Dave MartinI want to thank you for all you did to make my recent Falklands trip run so smoothly and comfortably. Thank you for all your help over the diet too.
Dr Lorna MairsJust a quick note to express my sincere thanks to you and all your staff for making this an epic adventure of immense proportions. Everything went smoothly, pickups, hotels and most of all the expedition itself. Truly a mind blowing experience unlike any I have ever taken.
