![norfolk is tours Bird Finder tour](https://www.burntpinetravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Bird-Finding-hero.jpg)
Welcome to our world – we’ve got a whole range of tours & activities to offer you. This is the home of the Norfolk Island PEOPLE. Over 20 nationalities live here. Notably it is home to the Pitcairn Islanders, descendants of the Mutiny on the Bounty, who arrived here on June 8, 1856. They brought with them cooking, music, and weaving/ plaiting that are still practiced today, and a language that is still spoken. The Norf’k language (Norfolk language) is a wonderful mix of Tahitian and old English, and it is taught in our school.
Norfolk Island has an amazing PAST. It is home to the southern hemisphere’s best collection of restored convict built Georgian buildings and structures that are still in community use today – living history indeed! And they are World Heritage listed. They house our museums, our parliament, and our public service. The convict built pier is one of two places only to launch boats to go fishing, or bring in goods from overseas.
The island is only 8 x 5 kilometres in size, yet it is a PLACE of amazing physical beauty. It is a place blessed with a wonderful sub-tropical climate where the ‘great outdoors’ is yours to enjoy. Where ‘fast food’ is pulled out of the ground. Where 40 endemic species of flora and fauna live. Our air is amongst the cleanest on the planet. The only impurity in our seas is a 220 year old ship wreck.
Tours & activities
On Norfolk Island you can take it as easy as can be, or be as busy as you want to be. There is a wide range of things to do, choose from: amazing marine and nature-based pursuits such as bush walking, sea kayaking, frontier surfing, diving/snorkeling, and deep sea fishing; shopping; dinners; shows and plays; convict and many other historical tours; and cliff top fish dining. So, OUR world is YOUR playground and we look forward to showing you around!
Below are some tours & activities that are on offer. Read below and learn a little more or contact one of our friendly staff and discuss your Norfolk Island holiday package today.

Here's a selection of the tours & activities available on Norfolk Island
1856 the untold story.
Tuesday & Saturday Price: $55pp
On 8 June 1856 a total of 194 people, descendants from the Bounty, arrived on Norfolk Island from Pitcairn Island aboard the Morayshire. This consisted of 40 men, 47 women, 54 boys, and 53 girls. They arrived in cold, wet blustery conditions. Few had ever been to sea before, They were seasick, homesick, and heartsick. The journey of 6,000 km / 3,700 miles took five weeks. They arrived to a recently abandoned penal settlement set aside for the ‘worst of the worst’, it was full of ghosts and memories. It was a large and frightening testimony of man’s inhumanity to man. The 1856 untold story will follow their journey in the World Heritage Listed Kingston area. Baunti Tours will bring the past to life with an audio aboard their coach, recounting stories of the families, where they lived and how they adapted to their new life on Norfolk Island. This 1 hour tour is very evocative.

7 days of history, culture and nature on Norfolk Island
Discover the incredible natural beauty of this island that is also so rich in history and culture. Explore the best of Norfolk Island over seven days.
Norfolk Island is the quiet achiever of the South Pacific, often overlooked, though unforgettable once found. Discover for yourself why visitors return time and time again – there’s just so much more to Norfolk Island. It’s the ideal destination for people of all ages where you can have an adventure or simply take a relaxing break.
"I really do think that Norfolk Island is one of Australian tourism’s best-kept secrets. So, c’mon. Do yourself a huge favour. It’s a little part of Australia, after all." Ray Martin - Celebrity TV Presenter and Ambassador for Norfolk Island
Norfolk Island is considered a domestic flight , but be aware that flights depart from the International Terminal. A valid passport is the preferred means of documentation, however, photographic identification is acceptable for Australian citizens.
With over 120 kilometres (75 miles) of road, a hire car is the most practical way to get around the island. When driving, be sure to practise the Norfolk ‘wave’ to passing vehicles and watch for roaming livestock who have the right of way.

Baunti Tours, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia
On arrival you will be welcomed by a Norfolk Island Tourism representative who will show you to your hire car, bus transfer or accommodation owner.
Once you have checked in, take a drive through Burnt Pine town centre. Here you will find supermarkets, cafes, the Visitor Information Centre, Liquor Mart, shops and pubs.
One of the best ways to get your bearings and begin to understand the rich history of the island is on a tour. Jump on board for the Discover Our World tour with Baunti Tours or the Half Day Tour from Pinetree Tours to get an excellent introduction to Norfolk. Your guide will take you to the island’s main points of interests, including key historic places and incredible lookouts. With rich commentary on history and local life today, you will begin to understand that there is so much more to Norfolk Island.
Day 2: Time to explore (“Siyet” See it)
![Moreton Bay Figs, Headstone Road, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia Moreton Bay Figs, Headstone Road, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia](https://www.australia.com/content/australia/en/trips-and-itineraries/seven-days-on-norfolk-island/_jcr_content/mainParsys/imagewithcaption_1457743132/LargeImageTile/largeImageSrc.adapt.740.medium.jpg)
Moreton Bay Figs, Headstone Road, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia
Start your morning with a drive to the top of Mount Pitt in the Norfolk Island National Park and take in the amazing 360° view of the whole island. Follow the road down the hill, and along Douglas Drive to visit St Barnabas Chapel, which was built around 1800. The glorious rose stained window is just one of the Chapel’s beautiful attributes. Spend some time exploring the grounds before making your way up to Headstone Road to walk under the canopy of the famous Moreton Bay fig trees . Stop for a photo opportunity amongst the impressive above ground roots.
From here, head down to Kingston for lunch at the Golf Club . After your meal, take advantage of the chance to play a round in the world's only golf course set in a World Heritage site.
Tonight, enjoy dinner at the famous Homestead Restaurant which is set in a 1930s traditional house. Chef Kurt will tempt you with fresh local produce cooked on a wood fuelled Argentinian Parilla Grill.
Day 3: Get wet (“in a worta” in the water)

With a pleasant sub-tropical climate, Norfolk is a year-round destination. In summer, temperatures remain below 29°C (84°F), while winter temperatures remain above 16°C (61°F).
Spend today in and around the crystal clear waters of the island.
Anglers will love the rich fishing grounds of Norfolk Island. Here, it’s so easy to reel in a prize that casting a line is referred to as ‘catching’ rather than fishing. The main fish species caught are sweet lip, kingfish and tuna. And with no fishing ramps, boats are lowered into the water by crane, adding to the charm of a fishing expedition on Norfolk. Book a fishing charter with an experienced guide for a great day out.
Even if you decide not to head out on a charter, be sure to stop by Kingston Pier when the boats return. You may get to witness sharks feeding on fish scraps as the fishermen fillet their catch, which you can buy straight from them for your night’s dinner.
If you’d prefer to spend the day in the water, the island offers world class diving and snorkelling with marine life like nowhere else. The crystal clear waters of Emily Bay and Slaughter Bay are perfect for snorkelling, with a fringing reef just metres from shore. If you’re a certified diver, head out with Norfolk Island Diving to see incredible sites such as Johnny’s Stone, Duncombe Bay and Liar Straight.
Another option for the day is to join an awe inspiring sea kayaking tour . View the rugged coastline as the seabirds soar above you before stopping off at the remote Crystal Pool for a spot of snorkelling. These tours operate on demand and are weather dependent, so chat to the friendly team in the Visitor Information Centre to book.
For dinner tonight, book in at Bailey’s .
Day 4: Back to nature (“kam lukorn” come and have a look)

The wedgetail shearwater bird visits the island from October to May to breed. Known locally as the ghost bird because of its eerily spooky night call.
The natural beauty of the island is absolutely breathtaking with rugged coastline, rolling green hills, and the majestic Norfolk Island Pines. Today you'll spend your time taking it all in.
Get an early start to witness a beautiful sunrise. One vantage point is from the top of Flagstaff walkway, located in Kingston. There are over 200 steps to the top, but it is well worth it! Afterwards, enjoy a delicious breakfast at the popular Olive Café in the village before driving to Captain Cook Monument and Lookout on the northern side. From here you can see the offshore natural rock formations such as Elephant Rock and Bird Rock. Walk along the coastal ‘Bridle walking track’, keeping an eye out for the rare green parrot, Pacific robin and other birds endemic to the island .
Another reserve that offers a peaceful walking track through pines and white oaks is Hundred Acres Reserve on Headstone Road. This loop track takes you on a boardwalk to the cliff top and is the perfect location to observe seabirds.
If you’re an experienced hiker with a good level of fitness, consider joining a guided trek to the outer Phillip Island, which sits about a 20-minute boat ride from the Kingston Pier. Protected by National Parks, Phillip Island is home to many migrating seabirds and a vibrant volcanic landscape.
Wind down from your day with a bottle of wine and picnic dinner at Puppies Point cliff top, which is an ideal spot to watch the sunset. You can book a picnic platter with Platters by Paige , or head over to nearby Sunset Bar for drinks and nibbles with friendly owners Les and Pip. Be sure to stay out after the sun has gone down to witness the spectacular starry night sky. You will soon realise why the island is an Australian Gold Level Dark Sky Town.
Day 5: A bit of history and culture (“Fainet” Find it)
![Kingston World Heritage site, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia Kingston World Heritage site, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia](https://www.australia.com/content/australia/en/trips-and-itineraries/seven-days-on-norfolk-island/_jcr_content/mainParsys/imagewithcaption_1604776027/LargeImageTile/largeImageSrc.adapt.740.medium.jpg)
Kingston World Heritage site, Norfolk Island © Tourism Australia
The entire island hums with rich history and culture. It is all around you. Start in Kingston , where you will find one of 11 sites that make up the Australian Convict Sites UNESCO World Heritage Property. This unique site is known for its outstanding Georgian buildings and ruins. There’s no entry fee and the interpretive signs make for easy self-guiding. There are also four museums in Kingston, and the best way to see them is with a Museum Pass that gives you unlimited access and two guided tours. Not to be missed is the Sirius museum, dedicated to the HMS Sirius flagship of the First Fleet, wrecked on the Kingston reef in 1790. The pass also gives you access to the Research Centre.
For lunch, head to Hilli Restaurant to enjoy locally caught seafood and fresh produce in the calming garden setting. After your meal, continue your historical explorations of the island by learning about the Pitcairn period of settlement. Next door to Hilli you will find the award-winning Fletcher’s Mutiny Cyclorama , a 360 degree mural that depicts the story of the Pitcairn Islanders who came to Norfolk Island in 1856 after the famous Mutiny on the Bounty.
For dinner, head to Castaway Restaurant & Bar . If it’s Friday, you’ll get to enjoy woodfired pizza alongside locally made craft beers from the adjacent Norfolk Island Brewery .
Tonight, if you dare, arrange a Lantern Lit Ghost Tour through the convict cemetery and ruins. Locals will tell you that Norfolk is one of the most haunted places in the world, and its historic buildings and cemetery will leave you with chills.
Day 6: Follow the food trail (“Wettles” Food)

![indigenous-symbol indigenous-symbol](https://www.australia.com/etc.clientlibs/common/clientlibs/resources/images/Indigenous/foodDrink-02.png)
If you’re visiting in November, check out the Norfolk Island Food Festival , held annually in November.
Norfolk Island food culture focuses on produce that is grown locally and seasonally, allowing for unbeatable freshness and vibrant flavours. Most locals grow their own vegetables, and often share their bounty in roadside Honesty Boxes. Look out for these stalls dotted around the island (you can get a map at the Visitor’s Information Centre). If you take some fresh produce for a meal at home, just pop your money in the box to pay for your selection.
Today, experience some of the unique foodie offerings on the island first-hand. Start by joining a tour of the only goat farm on the island, the Hilli Goat . You’ll get to meet the adorable herd, hear about the cheesemaking process, get to taste the cheese and enjoy a lunch platter at the family home with incredible views over the cliffs. While you’re here, stop into Cottage Pottery for beautiful handmade pottery, art and jewellery.
If you’re on the island on Wednesday or Sunday, be sure to indulge in a decadent Forrester Court High Tea luncheon with magnificent views over Cascade Bay.
For dinner tonight, book into the popular island fish fry for a chance to taste fresh fish in crispy batter alongside traditional dishes like ‘Pilhi’ (a banana slice) and coconut dessert pie. Dessert is always served with cream, referred to as Norfolk gravy. The evening includes Tahitian dancing entertainment by the Baunti Byuutis.
DAY 7: Me time (“Gut a hilli” feeling lazy)
![Yoga at the Beach, Norfolk Island © Norfolk Island Tourism Yoga at the Beach, Norfolk Island © Norfolk Island Tourism](https://www.australia.com/content/australia/en/trips-and-itineraries/seven-days-on-norfolk-island/_jcr_content/mainParsys/imagewithcaption/LargeImageTile/largeImageSrc.adapt.740.medium.jpg)
Yoga at the Beach, Norfolk Island © Norfolk Island Tourism
While there’s so much to see and do on Norfolk Island, it’s also the perfect escape from the demands of your daily life. You feel the relaxed vibes and laid back attitude the moment you arrive here, so spend the day embracing the lifestyle.
"What I like most about visiting the island is you can detach yourself from life as much as you want to or meet some of the friendliest people in the Pacific who’ll take you in like a long lost family." Craig Tansley – Travel Writer
Begin the day with a yoga session in town, or take in the sunrise on a morning walk around the beach at Kingston, past the Golf Club and along Quality Row. If the weather is fine, enjoy a final swim out to the pontoon in Emily Bay lagoon.
Back in town, fuel up with a healthy breakfast and coffee at Prinke Eco Store , opposite the Visitor Information Centre. You can pass some time browsing the shops in town, including Aatuti Art near the Golden Orb Café and Bookshop. You are likely to find a piece of art you never knew you needed.
In the afternoon, treat yourself to a soothing pamper at Serenity Day Spa, or Island Skin & Beauty, before heading out to Two Chimneys Winery . Here you can relax on the beautiful veranda overlooking the vineyard while tasting a range of excellent wines. Two Chimneys also offers lunch platters, so you can extend your stay over a glass (or bottle) of wine as you enjoy an incredible selection of cheese, meats and spreads.
Dinner tonight should be at Bounty Bar & Grill on Ferny Lane, famous for their local steaks and beef ribs.

Norfolk Visitor > Norfolk Naval Base
Naval Station Norfolk
Norfolk, Virginia, is the proud home of the largest naval base in the world. No matter what your reason is for visiting Norfolk, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to tour Naval Station Norfolk .
Naval Station Norfolk's mission is to support and improve the personnel and logistics readiness of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. The Norfolk naval base provides seaport, airport, and squadron facilities, quality of life, and personnel management services.
Don't miss the tours of the Naval Base . The 45-minute tour departs from the Naval Tour and Information Center located at 9079 Hampton Blvd, next to Gate 5. Bus tours conducted by Navy personnel ride past aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, amphibious assault ships and the busy airfield. The tour also drives by historic homes from the 1907 Jamestown Exposition. There is a charge for the tour. A picture ID is required for all adults.
Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest Naval Station, occupies about 4,300 acres on a peninsula known as Sewells Point. Port facilities extend more than four miles along the waterfront and include some seven miles of pier and wharf space.
75 ships and 134 aircraft are home-ported here, and when they are not at sea they're along side one of the 13 piers or inside one of the 11 aircraft hangars for repair, refit, training and to provide the ship's or squadron's crew an opportunity to be with their families. Naval Station Norfolk is homeport to aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, large amphibious ships, submarines, supply ships, airplanes and helicopters.
Air Operations conducts over 100,000 flight operations each year, an average of 275 flights per day or one every six minutes. Over 150,000 passengers and 264,000 tons of mail and cargo depart annually on Air Mobility Command aircraft and other chartered flights from the NSN airfield. It is the hub for Navy logistics going to the European and Central Command theaters of operations, and to the Caribbean.
The land on which Naval Station is located was originally the site of the 1907 Jamestown Exposition , a mammoth 300th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in America in 1607. 21 states constructed buildings that celebrated their history and industry. Pennsylvania House, a 2/3rds replica of Independence Hall, is one of several state houses that are still standing at the Naval Station.
During the Jamestown Exposition, high-ranking naval officers agreed that this site was ideal for naval activity. After the United States entered World War I in April 1917, the Secretary of the Navy was persuaded to buy the property.
Victory Rover Naval Base Cruise
The Victory Rover makes 2-hour narrated cruises past Naval Station Norfolk. It departs from Nauticus on the downtown waterfront. Enjoy a fascinating and entertaining commentary along the way aboard this Navy-themed vessel. See aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, guided missile cruisers and all of the other ships that form the world's most powerful fleet. On board, guests will enjoy plenty of comfortable seating, clean restrooms, air-conditioned enclosed deck, open-air upper deck, snack bar and souvenir shop.
Reservations are available. Bring a camera and binoculars.
Hampton Roads Naval Museum at Nauticus & the Battleship Wisconsin
The Hampton Roads Naval Museum presents 225 years of naval history in the Hampton Roads region. The museum is also responsible for the historic interpretation and day-to-day operations of the Battleship Wisconsin.
The Hampton Roads Naval Museum and the entrance to the Battleship Wisconsin are located on the second floor of Nauticus : The National Maritime Center in downtown Norfolk (at One Waterside Drive). There is no on-site parking, but there are several city operated parking garages within walking distance.
