Adventure & Outdoors

Travelling to Pitcairn Island is in itself an adventure! While not easy to get to, surrounded by wild seas and glorious escarpments, this is not where the adventure ends.

Pitcairn Islanders are known for their resourcefulness and adventurous spirits, and below are just some of the unique activities you can do when visiting this fascinating island that so few people call home.

Bounty Bay: The picturesque harbour where the HMS Bounty famously anchored in 1789 and where her remains still lie. Today, the bay offers stunning views of the rugged coastline and serves as the main point of entry for visitors.

Caves and Pools: The rugged coastline is home to a plethora of caves and rock pools. Visit Gudgeon, a sea-level cave carved by waves that is home to a hidden beach, and swim in St. Paul’s Pool among the seaside rocks on the right tide .

Endemic Flora and Fauna: Take time to admire some of the 81 native plant species and keep your eye out for the 9 endemic bird species including the Pitcairn Reed Warbler.

Sailors Hide: Wander through stunning rock formations to Sailors Hide before climbing to Christian’s Cave.

Fishing: Join the locals for a fishing trip, in longboats and at the end of the day enjoy your catch as the whole community comes together for an evening fish fry.
