There are 3-4 pensions on the main island (quite expensive, pretty basic, but nice), no restaurants, several small stores. Some of the friendliest people in the world - you can hitch anywhere, but you?ve got to have a boat to get out to the Motu (which some of the pensions provide). Humpback whales visit the island June to September to birth their calves.
