Pitcairn Island was settled in 1790 by mutineers from the HMS Bounty as well as Polynesians from Tahiti. It remains one of the most fascinating destinations in the South Pacific, but one not easily accessible to the everyday traveler. The Pitcairn Islands also include Henderson Island, Ducie and Oeno Islands.
