When's the best time to go to the Falkland Islands?
The best time to go to the Falkland Islands is from late October to April. The summer months of November to February have the best weather and are prime nesting time for the archipelago's many bird colonies and young seals and sea lions can be seen. October is the main breeding time for the wildlife, and from mid-November through December, pods of killer whales can be seen hunting in the shallow waters near the seal colonies - an exciting spectacle for any wildlife enthusiast. Expect some windy conditions year-round and pack a waterproof jacket regardless of the season you are visiting. Visiting from May to September is generally not recommended due to the wet and windy conditions.

For naturalists there are numerous islands to choose between, from those known for marine mammals to those that host thousands of penguins. History enthusiasts can discover various relics from past conflicts, while for solitude-seekers the options are endless.
Marine marvels
From colonies of sea lions and combative elephant seals on shore to pods of dolphins and whales out at sea, marine mammals rule in the Falklands.
Awesome birdwatching
To see huge flocks of birds in the wildest of wild habitats, the Falklands is unbeatable. Among others, there are five species of penguins to cross off your list.
Walk on the wild side
Virtually untrodden paths on windswept islands are the order of the day in the Falkland Islands, where you are unlikely to share the incredible views with other people.
