Travel advice for this country
Safety and security
Terrorism
There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. For further information see Terrorism Abroad.

Political Situation
Local Travel
Road Travel
Pitcairn has one sealed road. There are no other proper roads on Pitcairn, only dirt tracks. Transport around the island is by quad bike or on foot. All quad bikes are privately owned and therefore most visitors travel on foot. Longer-term visitors who propose using a quad bike are required to pass a driving test before a licence will be issued.
For further information see Driving Abroad.
Sea Travel
Transfer to and from the island is by boat only and can be dangerous in adverse weather conditions.
For more general information see River and Sea Safety.
