This morning we awoke to another beautiful day in the South Pacific. Just as the sun began to rise above the ocean, we sighted our destination for today – the remotest island on earth – Pitcairn Island.
The island is home to the descendants of the famous mutineers from the HMS Bounty, various bird species, and some of the most spectacular island landscape found anywhere in the Pacific Ocean.
After a hearty breakfast, and a quick introduction to the island from one of the local guides, we headed ashore to explore this most fascinating place that very few people ever get to visit.
Some of us decided to hike up to the very top of the island and were rewarded for our effort with a scenic 360 degree view of the island, its lush forest and the surrounding seas crashing against the shore.
Most of us decided to explore at a little more leisurely pace and instead explored Adamstown, meeting her many fascinating locals, photographing the many relics on display, and even visiting the local school to be part of the day’s curriculum.
In the afternoon we once again trekked across the island to the beautiful St Johns Rock Pool and relished the chance to take a dip in its refreshing clear blue waters.
What an incredible day at one of the most unique islands in the world!
