Palmerston Island

Travel Guide

Palmerston Island is another of those very hard to reach places. A delivery ship stops by once or twice a year and some cruising yachts visit.

The population was 52 when we visited in 2010.  Everyone's last name is Marsters, all descendants of William Marsters  who moved to the deserted island in the 1800's with his 3 wives.

We just came back from paradise. We spent 10 days at the Rarotongan and we enjoyed every single minute. The rooms are a bit dated, however they have all the comforts that people require on holiday.
