Experience the culture and soak up the history of Norfolk Island, with its friendly locals, unique language still used, and curious beginnings, on this wonderful short break.
There are multiple ways to enjoy this fabulous island and its history. Included are entertaining shows such as a re-enactment of the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty, the convict settlement era, and a gentle and magical tour of the 'enchanted forest'. Also included are specially-themed dinners including an Island Fish Fry, Fletcher's Fate Mystery Dinner, a three-course dinner where the only thing better than the food is the mystery. "A Night As A Convict", the most popular activity, is a night of dancing and dinner with costumes and, most of all, a lot of fun!
During the days here you'll enjoy local hospitality, your ocean-view apartment, a glass bottom boat tour of the beautiful coral reef and marine life as well as a bush walk or stroll and cliff-top breakfast barbecue combining nature and fresh produce of Norfolk Island.
* Various itinerary options are available. See full itinerary for details. Package price varies according to season and departure city.
In the style of most Global Escapes Independent Traveler itineraries, this is a perfect blend of self-guided adventure and forward-planning to ensure that the main elements are organised in advance allowing for plenty of time to relax and take in each place you visit.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price and/or value by a minimum of 15%. Conditions.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price or value by a minimum of 15% ("price-beat") on the following conditions:
Note: By requesting a price-beat you are under no obligation to place a booking with us or proceed with the final travel package as the case may be. A non-refundable deposit is required in the case of a tour/travel package price-beat (see below).
The following terms and conditions apply to travel plans and accommodation quotes requested from and supplied by Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. trading as Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club (Australian Escapes) and Kiwi Escapes (the company) and are subject to change without notice. These conditions are to be read in conjunction with our standard booking conditions and conditions applicable to Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership as defined in website FAQs.
There are two main scenarios:
(1) You request a price-beat on a specific property. Our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions, provided we have access to be able to book the accommodation through our normal supplier channels.
If we do not have access to member rates that property we will offer an alternative that is of the same or higher standard, as per our hotel rating system and that meets the stated requirements, subject to availability, and subject to the following:
(2) We propose a property with member pricing: If the "you pay" price we submit is already discounted using GCash travel credits and the lowest available price at the time it was submitted, it does not qualify. Otherwise our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions.
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the applicable objective is achieved.
Inclusions in travel and tour packages assembled by competitor travel agents, tour companies, wholesalers, online travel promoters will all be different in some way. Packages will typically vary by inclusions, validity, suppliers, component type, standard, terms and conditions, travel date, etc ("package components").
Our objective in this type of price-beat situation is to assemble a package containing similar and/or higher value package components to that which you present to us. We guarantee to offer at least 15% more total value (through added value) or a price that is 15% lower than the competitor quote ("successful price-beat") subject to the following:
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.
The price-beat must be requested before you place a booking with any other travel agent, online booking agent or property direct in relation to the subject accommodation or package.
A price-beat may be requested by providing clear, written evidence of the competitor quote as well as your requirements to an employee of the company who performs a reservations or travel consultant role ("company contact") as follows:
A competitor quote presented under this guarantee must be genuine (not contrived) and must be a final, fixed price, backed by verifiable evidence. A competitor quote that we determine is not genuine or final is excluded. The requested date range(s) for travel/tour commencement as well as for individual package components must be realistic and flexible.
This condition applies to travel/tour packages only. We require up to $900 deposit per person (amount depending on package complexity) as a guarantee that you will proceed with the travel plan after we are successful with the price/value beat. This requirement exists because of the amount of travel consultant time required to price according to a competitor quote.
Your Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership must be Gold level or above and active and paid up at the time of requesting the price beat.

For six out of seven nights of this unique holiday you'll be out enjoying dinner and shows and having what you'll remember as some of the best times of your life. You'll have days to simply relax, as well as days of included activities and sight-seeing. Norfolk Island is just waiting for you.
"I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven't seen, how much I'm not going to see, and how much I still need to see." - Carew Papritz
Fly to Norfolk Island ready to start your adventure. A transfer bus will take you to your accommodation where your hire car will be waiting.
The rest of the day is yours to explore the town and meet some of the towns-folk before a very special dinner. Tonight you'll join a group of other visitors to Norfolk Island on a wonderfully social, three-course "progressive dinner" between different Norfolk Island family homes. Each home offers a beautifully-cooked, local meal and an opportunity for you to learn more about Norfolk Island from those who know it best - the locals. It will be a fun night and a great opportunity for you to meet some locals and other island visitors.
This morning, join an orientation tour of the Island to get your bearings. The rest of the day is for you to quietly explore Norfolk Island and just relax. The main towns of Kingston and Burnt Pine are quaint and interesting to visit. You can also soak up the sun on one of the island's pristine beaches and enjoy the unique beauty and quietness.
Tonight's entertainment is Wonderland by Night. The setting is 10 acres of magical Norfolk pines & bushland lit up like an enchanted forest. Meander along (or ride in the ’moon buggy’) a gentle winding path with Matt Bigg – a descendant of the Bounty mutineers, as he recites poems and lights up the diorama. Optionally you could take in or the informative Sound and Light show, showcasing the convict history of Norfolk Island.
We suggest the RSL club and bistro for dinner, or any one of the local restaurants.
Today you will be enjoying the pristine waters off the coast of Norfolk Island on a glass bottom boat tour. See the beautiful reef and watch the colourful fish from the boat as your tour guides share their knowledge of the marine life unique to Norfolk Island.
Tonight is the famous “Who Killed the Surveyor?” mystery dinner, a new murder mystery dinner set in 1859 on Norfolk Island. Enjoy a 3-course dinner while you help solve the mystery of “Who Killed the Surveyor?” The dinner takes place in one of the original, elegantly restored Georgian houses at No. 9 Quality Row, on the beautiful Kingston foreshores. (May be changed to an alterantive themed dinner, subject to availability.)
Today we recommend exploring the island further including the remains of the convict settlements which are free to visit. We include tickets to Norfolk Island Museums, home to numerous historic artefacts across four sites including a large display from perhaps Australia's most important shipwreck, HMS Sirius, the First Fleet's flagship. Entry to the famous Fletchers Mutiny Cyclorama is also included. Tonight you'll have a meal on the west side of the island, a feast of local dishes and entertainment called "Island Fish-fry".
Today’s activity is a tour of the home of famous author Colleen McCullough. This luxurious and private sanctuary is where some of her best-known works were written. It's also famous for its many priceless artefacts from around the world. After the tour you have the afternoon to relax before tonight’s special experience.
You have the option to join "A Night as a Convict". This is Norfolk Island’s only dinner and dance night, with a twist: you’ll be dressed as a convict. Dinner, singing and dancing in convict costume will make this an unforgettable, fun evening. Suitable for all ages.
Take a stroll through Hundred Acres Reserve, or for the more energetic a leisurely 3.5km walk through scenic Mt. Bates to Captain Cook Monument. (Optional inclusion.)
This activity caters for everyone and gives you the opportunity to enjoy a walk in the great outdoors, with an optional delicious breakfast waiting at the end! Take your choice of a stroll through Palm Glen Reserve or for the more energetic, a leisurely 3.5 km walk through scenic Mt. Bates (the highest point on the island! to Captain Cook Monument.
Tonight's included entertainment is the "Commandants’ dinner". This factual yet fun dinner theatre is Norfolk Island’s newest interactive show and a great way to learn about Norfolk’s history. The cast of actors will take you on an entertaining journey back in time. It's a night of great entertainment, delectable food and loads of fun. The venue has created a special three-course dinner menu of traditional English fare to compliment the theatrical setting.
Today you'll be visiting Emily Bay. If you like snorkelling, the reef is beautiful and there's a good chance you'll encounter some of the turtles that are often seen here. Tonight for dinner we recommend Bailey's Restaurant at the Governor's Lodge, a beautiful place to spend your last night on this 8km by 5km island gem.
Today is your last day on Norfolk Island. After checking out and returning your car it's time for you to fly back home to reminisce on your holiday at this charming destination.
