Brief

  • Access is concentrated around the airport and settlements, while large areas are environmentally or militarily restricted. Follow local access rules and do not enter closed areas.
  • The island's volcanic landscape includes steep, rugged terrain. Plan carefully for hikes to Green Mountain and other remote areas, and carry sufficient water, sun protection and navigation equipment.
  • Try locally caught fish and other seafood when available, although food supplies and restaurant choices can be limited.
  • Wildlife highlights include seabird colonies, green turtles and restored native habitats. Keep well away from nesting birds and turtle beaches, and follow conservation guidance.

Safety and health
