St Helena is a very special diving destination, with something to offer all types of divers and lots to do in-between dives. Most diving is on the sheltered side of the island, with long shallow (10-20m deep) rocky reefs, very little tide or current (water temperature ranges 18-25 degrees C), masses of different fish, lots of interesting macro life, some great wrecks and the potential to see some of the world’s most amazing large marine animals both above and under water. St Helena is also a wonderful place to learn to dive and/or develop your dive skills further. Dive Saint Helena offers of a wide variety of diving experiences and packages for all levels of diving expertise. You could be a beginner, the summer diving enthusiast, or an all-year-round professional.

I recently visited St Helena for the first time and joined Aaron for two tours, one to see all the Napoleon sites and then on his 4x4 trip which had been recommended to me by Saints. Aarons knowledge of the island was so interesting and his energy for showing tourists the best sight was contagious. Despite the repetitiveness of the questions he must be asked Aaron showed only genuine enthusiasm to inform and educate visitors to this truly remarkable island. Don't leave St Helena without having been on the 4X4 tour with Aaron, it will take you to places and views that are not only off the beaten track but will leave you breathless.

The home where Napoleon lived in exile from France from December 1815 to his death in 1821.
Reviewed By DERtravels - Upland, United States
We are part of a cruise ship shore excursion to this out the way place in the world. The house where Napoleon spent his exile years is a top reason for even visiting St. Helena. The docents set up for our day visit were very knowledgeable. Made you feel like you were actually visiting the home during the era. Beautiful gardens, nice gift shop. Because we were a cruise ship in town, the locals even had extra souvenir tents set up on the grounds for the t-shirts, hats and stamps many people want. Be aware, no photos were allowed but there were postcards and books for sale. Bring British Pounds or Euro to spend if you are not using credit cards.
