No? well, no surprise, as it’ about as remote as you can get. To set the stage, Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific, and if you want something truly unique, then this experience is for adventurous travelers like you, seeking something far off the beaten path.
Remember The Mutiny on the Bounty? Pitcairn is famously the final refuge of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty in 1790 and their Tahitian companions. Visiting the island offers a tangible connection to this legendary story. You can see the alleged landing spot in Bounty Bay and learn about the descendants of these original settlers, many of whom still inhabit the island. Luckily, they’re tame.
Before the arrival of the mutineers, Pitcairn was inhabited by Polynesians. Archaeological evidence of their presence can still be found on the island. Its isolation has helped preserve Pitcairn’s natural environment. Expect dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush vegetation, and a rugged coastline. The waters around Pitcairn are teeming with marine life, offering opportunities for snorkeling and diving in a relatively untouched ecosystem. The surrounding waters are now recognized as a global sanctuary for endangered sharks. The only sharks you might find on Pitcairn are those that frequent the bars and restaurants.
