Oceania
A tiny volcanic outpost settled by the Bounty mutineers.
The Pitcairn Islands are a British overseas territory in the far South Pacific, and one of the most isolated inhabited places on Earth. Only a few dozen people live in Adamstown, many descended from the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. Visitors see Bounty Bay, Christian's Cave and the island's steep, green slopes, while uninhabited Henderson Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There is no airport; most visitors arrive on the supply ship from Mangareva in French Polynesia, or briefly on passing expedition cruises when the swell allows a landing. Stays are simple homestays arranged in advance, and getting around is by quad bike on dirt tracks. The warmer months from about November to March are the more comfortable time for sea crossings and landings.
January, December.
