A remote island of history, nature, and adventure.
What looks like a microscopic, insignificant dot on a map, is in fact 122 km-squared of fascinating history, endemic birds and fish, and the only place in the world where male and female adult whale sharks are seen in equal numbers during an annual aggregation between January and March.

Why Visit Saint Helena?
Heritage, wilderness, and marine wonders.
St Helena’s scenery is spectacular. From the clear Atlantic waters past sheer cliffs and breath-taking rock formations, through arid red desert dotted with cacti, rolling green fields and flax-covered hillsides to a pinnacle of prehistoric cloud forest. And only 4,500 people live, here, on one of the remotest inhabited islands on the planet, 2000 km from the African coast and 3000 km from South America. . Previously only accessible by Royal Mail ship once every three weeks, or private yacht, weekly flights started in October 2018.
