Zak and Libby are wonderful hosts. Zak waited for us more than two hours on a cold, windy day as the shuttles from our ship to shore were very slow. At our request, they modified the standard Shackleton tour tomorrow include include the major sites in the area. We were fortunate to have the added bonus of meeting Zak’s dad—the man who found Sir Edmund Shackleton’s ship, Endurance. He and Zak brought the story of Shackleton journey to life. Highly recommend this extraordinary adventure,
IF you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs....

Local knowledge is everything! We had an unforgettable tour of the wildlife around Port Stanley in the Bound family 4x4 - as a taster for their tours for 2026/2027 when we stopped for a day on the Islands from our cruise ship in January 2025. They showed us all the incredible wildlife spots in reach of Stanley - Gipsy Cove, the Lighthouse and York Bay and we spotted seals and all varieties of penguins. Their land rover is perfect for off-roading and challenging terrain not to mention the fun!
