9°26'24" S latitude, 171°12'17" W longitude


Tokelau, also known as The Union Islands, is a group of three coral atolls in the South Pacific.

Getting there:

Tokelau is off the beaten path. The only way to get there is by boat. There are no airstrips. If you go, do plenty of planning beforehand. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in transit, as the boat schedules are somewhat loose and unpredictable, and the boat ride can take a day or more. Once you get there, the accommodations are very limited. Don't arrive unannounced. Make arrangements for overnight accommodations before you go.
