Sea Lion Lodge

Sea Lion Island, Falkland Islands

The only accommodation on Sea Lion Island, the southernmost inhabited island in the Falklands and a wildlife stronghold.

Overview

Sea Lion Lodge is the only accommodation on Sea Lion Island, the southernmost inhabited island in the Falklands archipelago and one of its most significant wildlife concentrations.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Simple, comfortable rooms set within the island’s only lodge, functional and focused on wildlife access rather than luxury.

Food & Service

Home-style meals served communally at the lodge.

Activities

Walks to the island’s elephant seal colonies, penguin colonies, and orca-watching from the island’s beaches during the southern hunting season.

Wildlife & Photography

Sea Lion Island holds southern elephant seal, gentoo and rockhopper penguin, striated caracara, and is one of the most reliable places in the world to see orca hunting from shore.

A Photographer's Note

Orca hunting elephant seal pups directly off the beach here is one of the rarest predator-prey sequences photographable from dry land anywhere on Earth.

Conservation & Impact

The lodge supports Sea Lion Island’s protected status, one of the most closely monitored wildlife sites in the Falkland Islands.
