St Helena Tourism

St Helena Tourism is the official tourist office of the island of St Helena. The nearest land to St Helena is Ascension Island, which is 703 miles (1,125km) to the North West. It is 1 200 miles (1 950km) from the South-West coast of Africa and 1 800 miles (2 900km) from the coast of South America. A 47-square mile island, it is one of the remotest settled islands in the world. A sub-tropical paradise, it is also one of the most spectacular as far as contrast goes.  With its uniquely rich diversity of heritage-based attractions, both built and natural, St Helena offers many things to see and lots to do. For a full list, contact St Helena Tourism. Until now visitors could only reach the island by boat or yacht, but now visitors can fly away to St Helena on weekly flights to-and-from Johannesburg and Cape Town with SA Airlink.
