Pitcairn: One of the most remote islands on Earth

Wanna really get away from it all and travel to somewhere truly unique? Here's one for you.

Head to the Pitcairn Islands. Located about halfway between New Zealand and Peru, this group of four volcanic islands: Pitcairn, plus the uninhabited Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno.

Imagine the excitement of reaching Pitcairn after days at sea. Its desolate rock cliffs and lush hillsides bursting with vibrant green vegetation are even more striking after only seeing the vast ocean for so long.

The ship sets its anchor and a small boat whisks you off to shore where you are greeted by some of the 47 locals. From hiking the rugged terrain to stargazing at an incredibly dark night sky and diving sites that look like the ocean did a thousand years ago, Pircairn takes "off-the-beaten-path" to another level.

It's hard to imagine that places like this still exist and while they are difficult to reach, traveling here would give you a glimpse of what very few people will ever experience.

Perhaps more interesting than the extreme remoteness of this island is how the people ended up there.
