Tour Itinerary:
(B = breakfast, L = lunch, D = dinner)

Day 1 – Tuesday 22 December 2026 - Depart Brisbane, Arrive Norfolk, Welcome Dinner (D)
This morning, meet your dedicated tour leader at Brisbane International Airport before your short 2-hour flight to beautiful Norfolk Island. Welcome to Norfolk! Norfolk in summer is long lazy days where the sun doesn’t set until nearly 7pm and the breathtaking sunsets linger until about 8pm. The perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities like BBQ’s and swims in the pristine waters of Emily Bay. This evening get to know your fellow travellers with a welcome drink and dinner at the hotel.

Day 2 – Wednesday 23 December 2026 – Breakfast Bush Walk, Island Life Tour, Barney Duffy BBQ, Wonderland by Night (B, L, D)
This morning start your week on Norfolk with a refreshing adventure in the great outdoors, followed by a delicious breakfast. There are two walk options to choose from. For those seeking a leisurely stroll, explore the lush Palm Glen Reserve. For the more active, take a leisurely 3.5 km walk through scenic Mt. Bates - the highest point on the island - to Captain Cook Monument. This monument marks the spot where Captain James Cook and his officers landed in 1774 and offers breathtaking views of the coastline. After the walk, gather on the clifftop for a scrumptious breakfast BBQ before returning to the hotel mid-morning.

Lunch today will be at the Boatshed at Governor’s Lodge and then the group will set off on the Island Life Tour. Spend the afternoon touring Norfolk Island, gaining a true insight into the intricate nature of modern island life. Your guide will share the latest information on the island's ethnic groups, nationalities and languages spoken, including the Norfolk Island indigenous language.

This evening indulge in a hearty BBQ feast featuring steak, sausages, and a variety of sides and trimmings. Listen to local guest speakers as they share memorabilia, stories, and fascinating insights into the Island's history and governance. After dinner, embark on the breathtaking Wonderland by Night tour. Wonderland celebrates the rich history and stories of Norfolk Island, with a collection of old time Island stories written by Archie Bigg. You'll hear humorous and poignant tales of family life and get a chance to hear the ‘Norf’k’ language spoken and translated. You'll learn about everything from cows and cattlegrids to the ‘Norfolk wave’, all while walking through intricately detailed dioramas in the trees. The evening finishes with a delicious dessert back in the shed.

Day 3 – Thursday 24 December 2026 – Beach BBQ Breakfast, Language Class, Island Fish Fry (B, D)
This morning enjoy breakfast by the bay! Emily Bay on Norfolk was announced as the 3rd best beach in Australia for 2025 and the locals will argue with you and tell you it’s the best! This morning enjoy a delicious breakfast in this beautiful location. Time for a swim in the bay after breakfast before returning to the hotel later this morning.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. Why not head into Burnt Pine shopping area and check out the shops. Norfolk Island is a duty-free and GST-free shopping haven where you’ll find stores selling everything from sporting goods and imported shoes to cosmetics, jewellery and artwork. You won’t find chain stores here. Norfolk Island’s shops are locally owned and operated. Your tour leader has a minivan at their disposal and is happy to drop you off and pick you up throughout the week if you want to explore.

Later this afternoon grab a beverage and get ready to learn some of the unique language of Norfolk Island. Brought by the Pitcairn Islanders in 1856, some locals still speak this language today. Hear about the evolution of this marvellous language and the fascinating history of the Norfolk people. You'll be saying 'watawieh' (hello) in no time!

This evening enjoy a feast of island dishes, salads, homemade bread and fresh fried fish, followed by island desserts and tea or coffee. Watch the sun set from Pinetree Tours' exclusive property 'Orn Daa Cliff' on Norfolk’s beautiful western coastline and enjoy some local entertainment when the Baunti Byuutis dancing group takes the stage to entertain you with their captivating local performances.

Day 4 – Friday 25 December 2026 – Merry Christmas! Christmas Buffet Lunch, Dinner Bailey’s Restaurant (B, L, D)
We wish you a Merry Christmas. The morning is at leisure today. Fancy a swim? Jump in the pool at your hotel or ask your tour leader to drop you down to Emily Bay. Ask your tour leader if you’d like a transfer somewhere to explore on your own. Be back by lunchtime to celebrate with the group at a Christmas Buffet lunch in the Boatshed Restaurant. There will be a cold selection of salads, breads, antipasto, cheese and cold cuts and hot selection of ham, fish, beef, turkey, seafood and vegetables. Standard beer, wine and soft drinks will also be provided. What’s Christmas Day without a nap? The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure and this evening we’ll meet again for a light dinner at Bailey’s Restaurant.

Day 5 – Saturday 26 December 2026 – Fletcher’s Mutiny Cyclorama, Dinner at Bounty Bar & Grill (B, D)
Boxing Day and a public holiday today. This morning visit the amazing Fletcher’s Mutiny Cyclorama. This amazing 360° panoramic painting brings to life the history of the Norfolk Island people and their connection with the infamous mutiny on the ‘Bounty’. An outstanding attraction, this stunning 360° panoramic painting with realistic 3D effects has been impressing visitors to Norfolk Island with its ‘wow’ factor for over 18 years.

This afternoon is at leisure and again a chance to explore. If you’d like a swim in beautiful Emily Bay or a chance to explore the museums or cemetery in the Kingston area your tour leader will be happy to run a shuttle service for you. This evening be transferred by coach to one of Norfolk’s great dining spots for a delicious 2-course dinner. The Bounty Bar and Grill, housed in an original island home dating back to the early 1900s, offers a fantastic pub-style menu paired with a warm and inviting ambiance.

Day 6 – Sunday 27 December 2026 - Bounty Folk Museum, Dinner at Hilli Restaurant (B, L, D)
This morning is at leisure. Ask your tour leader if you’d like to go somewhere. Have you had a walk in the Norfolk Botanic Gardens? The gardens are part of Norfolk Island National Park and showcase a wealth of native flora, including numerous endemic species found solely on Norfolk Island. There is also an onsite Discovery Centre that is well worth a visit.

Be back by lunchtime when the group will have lunch in The Boatshed. This afternoon your tour leader will transfer the group to the Bounty Folk Museum - a treasure chest of history. The museum tells the history of Norfolk Island, from the harrowing tales of ill-fated convicts brought here, to the against-the-odds survival of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian wives. The museum is wide in scope, with lots of artefacts to pore over. Browse handwritten research books and get lost in the page-turning plot of Norfolk Island’s past. You’ll also get a good sense of the day-to-day life on the island, not just the key historical events. For dinner tonight stroll across the road to Hilli Restaurant. The word ‘hilli’ is a word from the unique Norf'k language which can be defined a drowsy, lazy feeling... A feeling of lethargy. You know that feeling - when you have eaten your fill, enjoyed delicious flavours, along with a lovely glass of wine and good company.

Day 7 – Monday 28 December 2026 – Natural Wonders Tour, Tea Party at Bailey’s, Progressive Dinner (B, D)
This morning after breakfast discover Norfolk Island's stunning geological wonders and natural beauty. Your expert Natural Wonders guide will introduce you to the island's diverse flora, including native, endemic, and introduced species of trees, shrubs, plants, palms, ferns, flowers, and fruits, offering insights into their unique characteristics and significance.

This afternoon Governor's Lodge invites us join the long-established favourite of afternoon tea which has been re-imagined for Bailey’s Restaurant on Norfolk. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine on arrival and partake in a selection of sweet and savoury delights and tea or coffee. Enjoy a mouth-watering array of tasty treats, including the traditional favourites like mini-scones and finger sandwiches plus scrumptious hot and cold savouries and delicious delicacies.

This evening our farewell dinner is a Norfolk specialty - the progressive dinner. Over the course of the evening, enjoy a delicious 3-course meal, with each course served at a different Norfolk Island family home. Each home has been carefully selected to showcase the island's rich culture and history, and each dinner host has a story to tell. As you move from house to house, learn about the island's fascinating past and present, and get to know the warm and welcoming locals who call it home.
