Frequently Asked Questions

No pier can take a cruise ship. Vessels anchor offshore and passengers reach the Bounty Bay landing by tender, or aboard the island's famous longboats, handled by the islanders with skill passed down through generations.
No. The swell decides everything: some attempts end as a simple circuit of the island from the deck. That uncertainty has to be accepted as part of the voyage. When the sea allows, coming in between the rocks is a moment few passengers forget.
By a steep track the islanders have named the Hill of Difficulty, and the name does not exaggerate. Anyone wishing to spare their knees rides up on the back of the quad bikes that shuttle visitors.
All of Pitcairn, under the banyans and mango trees: a central square, a post office, a general store, a Seventh-day Adventist church and a medical centre. It is the island's only settlement and one of the smallest capitals in the world.
Because of the Bounty mutineers. Led by Fletcher Christian, they took refuge here in 1790 and burned their ship so they would never be found. Their descendants, a few dozen today, still live on the island.
In front of the public hall on the square lies the Bounty's anchor, raised from the bay where the ship burned. The small museum nearby holds other objects saved from the wreck or handed down through families, including Fletcher Christian's Bible, the most famous item in the collection.
Stamps, sought after by collectors and sold at the post office; they help fund the territory. Local carvings made by the islanders round out the choice. Bring cash: there is no cash machine.
In the South Pacific, a dot of four and a half square kilometres thousands of kilometres from any continent. It is one of the most sought-after calls on exceptional itineraries, and one of the hardest to reach.
Rarely, and that owes more to the voyage than to the island. The itineraries that include it are long Pacific crossings seldom chosen as family trips. The rocky landing and the steep climb also require real physical independence.
The New Zealand dollar and English, alongside Pitkern, a creole language descended from 18th-century English and Tahitian, spoken by the mutineers' descendants. Bring cash: payment connections are limited.
