There are many unscheduled calls at the option of the masters of passing ships. Charter yachts from French Polynesia provide an expensive option. Visiting Pitcairn will usualy be a choice between a short hop of the ship or staying for atleast a few months. The only houses are owned by families, and there are no hotels or guest houses. Accommodation with one of the families can be arranged for visitors, by applying to the island magistrate.
All roads are dirt and transport is by motorcycle or on foot.
