Creator's Key Takeaways

We are Kathy and Tim and we retired in 2023 and sold everything and now we travel the world by air, land, and sea.

Our goal is to find penguins cheaply.

It is a great place to see penguins.

Totally worth it. Every little bit was worth it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear proper waterproof shoes for walking on sand and in rainy conditions.
Book tours on arrival rather than pre-booking to avoid missing due to tender delays.
Bring binoculars for better penguin viewing.
Avoid wandering off marked trails due to landmine risks.
Do not wear clothing with Argentina references due to unresolved war sentiments.

Port Stanley Penguins on a Budget (Cruise Day Tips + Cheap Options!) We’re in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands on a cruise day — and we set out on a mission: Can you see penguins without paying cruise-tour prices? 🐧❄️🌧️ Whether you visit by cruise ship or land travel, this video will show you the real, on-the-ground options for finding penguins in Port Stanley, including what it’s like out there on a cold, rainy day, so you can decide what’s realistic for your mobility, budget, and time. ✅ What you’ll see in this video: • The different ways to get to penguins near Port Stanley • The difference between walking vs. hop-on/hop-off vs. private tours on the dock • What the actual conditions look like (wind, rain, mud, distance) • Tender port timing tips if you want to book a private excursion safely • The penguins we DID find: Magellanic penguins and Gentoo penguins • A much cheaper local contact than ship tours if you want the King Penguins (this is an all-day 4x4 excursion) • A quick “tour company roll-call” at the end with local operators + vehicles so you can save contacts for future planning 💡 Should we “give away” the exact penguin spot? We’ll show you what we did and what worked — but the bigger value is helping you understand what’s possible without overspending and how to stay on-time in a tender port. ⸻ 🧭 WATCH NEXT (Our Two-Channel Travel System) We split our content between Cruise Through Retirement so watching both gives you the full picture of what our full-time life looks like on land and at sea. ▶ Cruise Through Retirement Ships, cruise itineraries, ship tours, cruise tips, and life aboard ➡️ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@CruiseThroughRetirement 🧊 South America & Antarctica Playlist (Cruise Through Retirement): ➡️ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2wV-KXCTQQBW_tJSI6opvVBhLM1EqEb7&si=eYdIFKiloRJNUG00 ⸻ ▶ Taste Life With Us Destinations, food, culture, and what daily nomad life actually looks like ➡️ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TasteLifeWithUs 🧊 South America & Antarctica Playlist (Taste Life With Us): ➡️ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaKrCcu1wb9PiF4NpUIGfjdhWLYwsgS07&si=XnB2M5eUuAlH9V-5⸻ ----------- ☕👍 If you’ve enjoyed this free content, please feel free to buy us a coffee (or a glass of wine) ❤️ https://buymeacoffee.com/TasteLifeWithUs 📸 Instagram Cruise Through Retirement: https://www.instagram.com/Cruise_Through_Retirement Taste Life With Us: https://www.instagram.com/Taste_Life_With_Us 📘 Facebook Cruise Through Retirement: https://www.facebook.com/CruiseThroughRetirement Taste Life With Us: https://www.facebook.com/TasteLifeWU #CruiseThroughRetirement #PortStanley #FalklandIslands #Penguins #cruiseexcursions #CruisePort #CruiseTips #AntarcticaCruise #PrincessCruises #CruiseExcursions #BudgetTravel #KingPenguins #GentooPenguin #MagellanicPenguin #TenderPort #CruiseLife
