Norfolk Island was made for exploration. Inhabited by descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions, this island welcomes you to slow down and enjoy life.
Take one of many scenic walks along the beaches, through the forests and up the summits of Norfolk Island. Pack a picnic and enjoy a leisurely meal far from civilization. You can ride horseback off the beaten path, enjoying sweeping coastal views and scenic bush. For the more adventurous, explore the island from the air or by mountain bike.
Norfolk's reef-protected lagoons are teeming with tropical fish and magical coral gardens. If hand feeding the fish isn't for you, simply enjoy the sights without getting wet. The water is so glass smooth that you can view the life in the gardens without getting wet. Or charter a nighttime boat trip to experience the view under the bright moon.
With island markets, museums, historical villages and gardens, you won't know what to do next. Whether you plan a leisurely rainforest stroll or a round of golf, Norfolk Island has something for everyone.
