Learn more about Palmerston Island

Spend time with one of only six families on this remote coral atoll where locals eagerly share their unique maritime traditions. Join fishing expeditions with residents or snorkel the pristine lagoon waters where visibility reveals untouched coral gardens and abundant marine life.

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.
