Location

St Helena is one of the world’s most remote islands, situated above the Tropic of Capricorn, almost midway between Namibia and Brazil. This small island is big in opportunities for active exploration boasting spectacular scenery that encapsulates a breath-taking range of habitats and landscapes: from the clear Atlantic waters past sheer cliffs and stark rock formations, through arid red desert dotted with cacti, rolling green fields and flax-covered hillsides, to a pinnacle of prehistoric cloud forest, St Helena packs a lot into 120 square kilometres. The friendly locals, affectionately known as ‘Saints’, whose heritage is a legacy of British, African, Chinese, Dutch and Portuguese and other influences are renowned for their warm nature that will make you feel at home.
