One of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth, only reachable by a weekly flight that only started running properly a few years ago, the exiled Napoleon's actual house preserved as a museum, and diving with whale sharks in a bay most of the world has never heard of.
The best time to visit St Helena is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (69°F).
