Pitcairn Island: Get There Although You Can

This small island on the edge of the southern Pacific Ocean, is nonetheless property to the descendents of the famous “Mutiny On The Bounty.” At least for now.

This Telegraph report notes the individuals at present living in Pitcairn could be the last generation to eek out a living there. Heavily subsidized by the British government, it just started a campaign to boost tourism, in hopes of sustaining solutions for its individuals. At the moment with no a deep harbor, passengers arrive by way of lengthy boats, and lacking any major hotels for visitors, dwelling stays seem to be the only existing solution, it may appear this island is an unattractive destination.

Hold that believed. I see this island as far more of a location since of these reasons. Plans are to improve both the harbor, housing options, and, in time, number of guests.

You know what that means… Hiltons lining the rocky coastlines, cruise ships queuing up outdoors the breakwater, and hoards of sunscreen drenched tourists overtaking this oasis in the ocean. Nicely, that could be an overstatement, I just hope the best for those living there, but you get the point.

Now is the time to go. Your visit could possibly include things like, amongst other folks, a scuba by way of the wreck of the Bounty (the replica is pictured above), secluded bird watching, and a check out to the island’s singular café afterwards. The intimacy and remoteness of this island could be the most alluring element an opportunity that is finding tougher and harder to come by.
