What not to do when visiting Pitcairn Islands
Don’t forget the nearest hospital facilities are in French Polynesia or New Zealand, at least four days sail away. Pitcairn has a medical clinic and a resident doctor only.
Don’t expect air access to the Pitcairn Islands - there’s no. A regular shipping service operates between Pitcairn and Mangareva.
Don’t forget to contact the Pitcairn Island Office in Auckland (New Zealand) if you’re willing to stay on Pitcairn for two weeks or more.
Don’t forget Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory.
Don't forget alcohol was legally prohibited until recently - locals may now obtain a six-month license to purchase it.
Don’t ignore the Sabbath (Saturday) - it’s consistently considered a day of rest (if not worship).
Don’t necessarily dance, smoke or show your affection in public - it can be still frowned upon.
Tell us your experience
We love to hear from people who have travelled the world and know ‘what not to do’. Why not help other people on their travels?
Don't refuse the Hibiscus blossom when offered - place it behind your left ear. The Tiare Tahiti flower can be found only in French Polynesia and is used to welcome friends or new visitors.
