Your narrated, approximately 35-minute flight offers spectacular panoramic vistas of the rugged, mountainous terrain, wild landscapes and natural coastal beauty of this part of the Falkland Islands. A few places of interest you might see include Stanley and its harbour, Gypsy Cove, Cape Pembroke Lighthouse, the Lady Elizabeth shipwreck, Kidney Cove, Port Louis, Mount Tumbledown, Longdon, Two Sisters and Harriet, rock formations locally known as 'Stone Runs', Fitzroy Farm, and Bluff Cove Lagoon.
