St. Helena: Napoleon's Exile Island Deep Dive

Explore St. Helena, the volcanic South Atlantic island where Napoleon Bonaparte spent his final six years in exile. Walk Longwood House, his prison-mansion, and trace the island's extraordinary colonial history on a private guided tour.

What to expect

Your guide collects you at Jamestown's narrow main street, flanked by Georgian townhouses painted in pastel. You visit Longwood House, still managed by France, where Napoleon's billiard room and death chamber remain eerily intact. The tour continues to Jacob's Ladder — 699 near-vertical steps — and the dramatic coastal cliffs at Sandy Bay. The island's remoteness amplifies every moment; the silence is profound.

Good to know

Longwood House is managed by the French Consulate and has set opening hours — confirm times with your guide in advance. Bring cash (St. Helena pounds) as card acceptance is limited. Allow a full half-day minimum; a full-day tour is strongly recommended.
