Pitcairn Islands Getting Around

Getting Around

Tin, Tub and Moss are three longboats used for transport between Bounty Bay and boats anchored offshore or the occasional trip to Oeno and Henderson. Since October 2005 there is now one short paved road on Pitcairn (up the Hill of Difficulty from the landing at Bounty Bay to Adamstown), but most routes around Pitcairn Island are dirt trails, generally very rugged. Walking and personal all-terrain vehicles (3- and 4-wheel "motorbikes") are the main ways to get from one place to another, and a bike is usually available for rent. The roughly 6km (3.7mi) of dirt roads turn into famously sticky mud when it rains.
