Whether you're interested in the marine life, birding, walks, history or culture, you can see and do whatever interests you.

Explore the island at your leisure
The next few days are at leisure for you to take in the island at your own pace. If you're travelling from June to December, you could choose to look for whale sharks. You'll find dolphins all year round, so a boat trip is well worth it to try to spot them. Other activities you could undertake include fishing, golfing, incredible walks or more strenuous hikes, and of course the bird watching on St Helena is magnificent.

St Helena
Continue your exploration of the island today. You could visit Jonathan the Giant Seychelles tortoise, thought to be the world's oldest living animal, in the gardens of Plantation House. Longwood House is also a great place to visit. This is a tiny patch of French territory that was once the home-in-exile of Napoleon Bonaparte, banished here following his defeat by the British.

St Helena
Take advantage of your final full day on St Helena by discovering more of this magical island. If you're feeling up to it, you could climb Jacob's Ladder - that's 669 steps, or 600ft! Take the time to stroll around Jamestown, nestled in its valley, and drink in the sense of an English town the likes of which you won't find today. Friendly locals will smile at you and often stop to talk, which is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about life in the middle of the Atlantic.
