FAQs

  • Where is Norfolk Island?
    Norfolk Island is an island located approximately 1,600 kilometres north-east of Sydney in the South Pacific Ocean. With a small land area and an even smaller population, Norfolk Island is an ideal destination for Australia tourists looking for a relaxing and secluded holiday destination that is also naturally breath-taking and brimming with exciting activities.
  • Why does Spacifica Travel love Norfolk Island so much?
    Aside from being a stunning location filled with excellent accommodation spots and a fascinating history, Norfolk Island will always hold a special place in our hearts because it was the first South Pacific destination that Spacifica Travel sent visitors to. That all began over 15 years ago now, and our love for Norfolk Island has only grown stronger since.
  • What is the history behind Norfolk Island?
    Norfolk Island has a rich and complex history that dates back thousands of years.The indigenous people of Norfolk Island were Polynesians who likely arrived on the island around 1000 AD. In 1774, Captain James Cook discovered the island and named it after the Duchess of Norfolk. The island was soon annexed by the British Empire, and it was used as a penal colony for convicts who were sent there from Australia.
    In the early 1800s, the island was settled by a community of Pitcairn Islanders, who were descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. These settlers established a unique community on the island, which combined elements of British and Polynesian culture.
    Throughout your stay, you can experience professional tours and shows, world-class painting displays, music, photography and the written word about this island’s fascinating history.
  • What are some of the best sights on Norfolk Island?
    For nature lovers, there are spectacular views no matter where you venture, along with lots of lovely walks, bird watching and beautiful flora and fauna.
