I’m glad to see that Tristan de Cunha has been added to the safe/green list of places to visit from England.
To quote the official website, “There are no package tours for independent travellers, no hotels, no airport, no holiday reps, no night clubs no restaurants, no jet skis nor safe sea swimming. Visitors are limited due to lack of available shipping berths (only 12 on fishing vessels)…Trips to the most isolated community in the world need to be well planned. Many would-be visitors have sailed to Tristan, but failed to land.”
All visitors need to clear their arrivals in advance through the Island Council, and they also need to obtain a police certificate. (A 40-day wait is typical.)
There are around 10 sailings a year in a 60 day period from Cape Town, South Africa*, and Namibia*, each taking 5 to 6 days to reach the islands; it costs $800-$1,500 for a round trip.
*Neither of which are on the green list.

Let’s not also forget the Falklands, South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands, St Helena and Ascension Island, which are almost as hard to get to plus Australia and New Zealand on the other side of the planet, who are currently not allowing us to enter either country. Go Team UK!
The list of countries as listed on the BBC website is as follows:
