A Relaxing Itinerary for Your Norfolk Island Vacation

Everything about Norfolk Island – from the graceful Norfolk pines to the calming ocean breeze – is serene. Simply stepping foot on the island is enough to make you feel more relaxed, but there are activities to add to your Norfolk Island travels to help relieve the stress even further.

Two Chimneys Wines

If you are the type to enjoy some wine tasting, then we highly recommend you pay Two Chimneys Wines a visit. Here, you can pass an afternoon sampling some local Norfolk wines at this lovely family-owned establishment at Steele’s Point.

The Natural Wonders of Norfolk Island Coach Tour

Be expertly guided through the beauty and characteristics of the island's delightful native, endemic and introduced species of trees and shrubs, plants and palms, ferns, flowers and fruits. These include the iconic Norfolk Island Pine. See examples of Norfolk's resident and migratory bird life.
