Welcome to Norfolk Island
We are excited to welcome you to Norfolk Island, a remote paradise at the intersection of tropical and subtropical latitudes, and home to incredible wildlife from towering Norfolk Island pines, lush subtropical rainforest, iconic bird species, to spectacular coral gardens mere metres from shore.
Norfolk Island has a fascinating and multi-layered history of seafarers, convicts and mutineers. Norfolk Islanders (those of Pitcairn descent) are the predominant culture on the island today. The islanders, who are proud custodians, live a lifestyle enriched in diverse traditions and cultural practices.
