Kidney Cove
The Murrell farm across the harbour from Stanley, where you can see gentoo, king, magellanic, rockhopper and other penguins.
Kidney Cove lies on the Murrell private farm on the north shore of Stanley Harbour, just across the water from the town. The farmer drives visitors by four-wheel drive across the moorland to the hillside above the beach, where you can see a gentoo colony, a small group of king penguins, magellanic penguin burrows and rockhopper penguins on the cliffs. With luck you may see four or five species in a day. The trip lasts about half a day to a full day. It is about 40 minutes’ drive from Stanley and must be booked in advance with the farm or a local operator.
