St Andrew's Bay in South Georgia is a wildlife haven, most famous for its massive king penguin colony, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Visits are typically made via expedition cruises, which are the only practical way to access this remote location. Accessibility can be challenging due to weather conditions and landing restrictions, and independent travel is generally not feasible. Guided tours are essential, and the best time to visit is during the South Georgia summer (November to March) when wildlife is most active. Expect a significant cost for the expedition cruise, and visits to the bay usually last for a few hours as part of a larger itinerary exploring the island's other attractions. Be prepared for strict biosecurity protocols to protect the fragile ecosystem.
