Booking A Berth

About The Journey To Pitcairn

Pitcairn's isolation is in itself a real enticement for many travellers. This and the fact that we don't have an airport make getting here an integral part of the Pitcairn experience.

You will first start your journey flying from your homeland via Auckland, Los Angeles or Tokyo to Tahiti in French Polynesia. Once you arrive in Tahiti, you will likely spend a few nights in a hotel or pension until you board the Air Tahiti Tuesday flight from Tahiti to Mangareva. So you need to make sure you can book your flight before contacting our booking office to secure your berth on the Silver Supporter.

On arrival in Mangareva, just 300 miles west north-west of Pitcairn, you will take the short ferry ride from the airport to Rikitea village to board the Silver Supporter. You will be met by the captain and crew of the Silver Supporter at the wharf and transferred directly to the ship to ready yourself for your final 32 hour ocean crossing to Pitcairn.

COVID-19 Travel & Quarantine Policy

The Government of Pitcairn Island partners (GPI) acted swiftly to close the island’s border in March 2020, when the COVID-19 (C-19) pandemic spread around the world. GPI recognises that the pandemic will continue to impact Pitcairn’s visitor economy, essential travel to and from the island and the off-island health care needs of its community. The border was re-opened on the 31st March 2022 and Pitcairn Island is committed to remaining COVID-19 safe.
