Located around 3,500 miles east of New Zealand, the Pitcairn Islands are considered to be amongst the most remote inhabited islands on the planet.

The story of how the islands came to be inhabited is also one of legend, with the vast majority of their current population being the descendants of the nine sailors and 18 Tahitians onboard the HMS Bounty decided to mutiny and sail the ship to the uninhabited island, with their descendants remaining on the island ever since.

The island itself looks pretty idyllic as well, with the sprawling Pacific Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see and luscious greenery.

Now you're probably wondering what the catch is, as nobody just gives away land on an idyllic island for free without there being a catch.

As we mentioned before, the island is thousands of miles away from other countries after all, it wouldn't be a successful mutiny if you settled in a nearby place, which means getting to and from the Pitcairn Islands aren't easy.

There are no airports on the island, which means the only way you can get to and from Pitcairn is via the supply ship MV Silver Supporter.

What is the UK government advice for travelling to the Pitcairn Islands?

So now you've decided it'll be worth visiting the islands before moving out there to see if you like it, here is the travel guidance shared by the UK government.

Due to the remoteness of the islands, making sure your passport isn't going to expire anytime soon is crucial as there's no embassies.

You can currently stay on the islands for 14 days visa free, which should be more than enough time to see if island living floats your boat, however, you must fill in a landing card once you arrive.

If you plan to stay longer than 14 days or are travelling with children under the age of 15, then you'll need to get in touch with local immigration.

There are also strict import rules on the island, with honey products or unlicensed alcohol being barred.

It's also worth noting that there is no mobile phone network and internet capacity was 'almost impossible', however, just this year the island received access to Elon Musk's Starlink internet service after a year-long trial.

There is also only one general shop on the island which opens for Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Now are you sure a remote paradise with 40 strangers is what you want?
