Yet there is so much more to this island. Humpback whales visit in vast numbers from June to December, closely followed by whale sharks from December to May. The hiking takes you through cloud forests and colourful lunar-esque landscapes unique to this volcanic outcrop.
The bird life seems to change with every valley you pass through, from the seabirds to land nesting endemics. Then there are the warm-hearted people and the unique feeling of utter escapism to one of the most remote places on earth. Travel to St Helena to discover all this and more for yourself.
