Travel Falklands

About

Sharon Jaffray is a sixth‑generation Islander who has lived in the Falkland Islands all her life. With more than 20 years’ experience in tour guiding, she offers exceptional local knowledge, a gift for storytelling, and a deep personal connection to the place she calls home.

She also spent 15 years as Deputy Editor of the Falkland Islands’ newspaper, Penguin News, documenting Island life, history, and current affairs. This background enriches her ability to share the stories, culture, and character that make the Falklands so distinctive.

In 2024, Sharon co‑founded Travel Falklands with her partner, Kaps Jiwa, an accountant who arrived in 2019 on a Government contract. Like many visitors, he quickly fell in love with the Islands and chose to stay. Kaps brings international tourism experience from previously operating a safari tour business in Namibia, adding global perspective and operational expertise to the partnership.

Together, they created Travel Falklands to offer guided tours showcasing the Islands’ remarkable wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and unique way of life. They also design fully tailored itineraries for land‑based visitors, ensuring every journey is seamless, enriching, and personal.

Their carefully selected team of guides and drivers provides warm hospitality, genuine insight, and a sense of adventure.
