If you do want to make the effort however, there's a fascinating history, and a couple of hills.

Activities
-Sightseeing. That's about the lot here, there's some surviving evidence of the former polynesian inhabitants who had abandoned the island before the mutineers arrived, but most of it was cast into the sea by the new Christain settlers. Petroglyphs survive at Down Rope. Apart from that it's the Bounty's anchor, bible, cannon...
-Visit the other three islands in the group; Oeno, which has a reef; Henderson, named after captain James Henderson in 1819, which has a beach covered in flotsam and four endemic bird species; and Ducie Atoll, which includes Acadia Island, where the Acadia was wrecked in 1881. The wreck lies offshore close to a memorial to the recovery of the ship's anchor.
