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.

Fly to Norfolk Island ready to start your adventure. Pick up your car and drive to your lovely, comfortable ocean-view accommodation.
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.
Today is a free day 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 you'll be treated to the informative Sound and Light show, showcasing the convict history of Norfolk Island. Dinner is by your own arrangement at the RSL club and bistro or 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 "Fletcher’s Fate Mystery Dinner". Fletcher Christian, leader of the Mutiny on the Bounty, had a very interesting life and a mysterious death. This evening the performers will shed light on those goings-on while you enjoy a wonderful three-course dinner.
Today we recommend exploring the island further including the remains of the convict settlements which are free to visit. We also recommend visiting Norfolk Island Museum, home to numerous historic artefacts including a large display from perhaps Australia's most important shipwreck, HMS Sirius, the First Fleet's flagship. 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.
A joyful and jovial night awaits you at 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 night.
Take your choice of a stroll through Hundred Acres Reserve, or for the more energetic a leisurely 3.5km walk through scenic Mt. Bates to Captain Cook Monument.
At the end of the walks you meet on the clifftop for a delicious breakfast barbecue. (These walks are not recommended to anyone with medical conditions). If you prefer not to rise early and bush walk, but would like to have breakfast on the cliff top, you can join the walkers at Anson Bay.
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. Dinner is by your own arrangement.
Today we recommend 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.
Just let us know if you would like to change the itinerary in any way, and we will customise it to suit your needs.

"Hi, have finally returned. Wonderful, wonderful trip. We think we loved Paris and its age/artworks but all was full of laughter fun and learning. Paris apartment was beautiful, & quiet when windows were closed, which wasn't bad anyway. The street is full of lots of restaurants and cafe's. (we also loved Shakespeare & co bookshop.) Fruit and chocolates in most rooms and champagne which I think we only drank in Brussels. we were ready for bed everywhere else though we almost had it for morning tea at Amsterdam on check in. Magnificent. Cheers." Val C.
"Have just returned from our wonderful trip to the UK. Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your organisation, we had the best holiday ever, an absolutely marvellous time, the tour was magnificent. We would recommend the Trafalgar Britain and Ireland Winter delights tour to anyone who wants to do adventurous travel, learning about other countries, and making friends. The coach was actually over half full of Aussies! Thanks so much for organising such a memorable holiday for us." Lee D.
"Deb and I are very grateful for the work you have put into our holiday. 10 days in and we are blown away by the quality and location of the motels and apartments. Many thanks." Jen W.
"My husband and I have recently returned from a holiday to Canada and Alaska booked through Australian Escapes. The itinerary was planned to take in all aspects of the holiday we required. The travel transfers worked seamlessly and the accommodation was at a standard that met our expectations of comfort and location. We absolutely loved the cruise and surprise upgrade to our stateroom. From our experience with this recent trip I would recommend Australian Escapes." Margaret & Bill T.
"We've arrived back safely after a thoroughly enjoyable trip where all the arrangements ran like clockwork, for which we want to thank you and your team, especially Sonya and Skye. We'd have no hesitation in recommending you and Volga Dream cruises to anyone who asks. Kind regards and thanks again." Irene and Blake S.
"I want to thank you for all the accommodation you arranged for us during our holiday in North Queensland in August. It was all excellent. The transfers went very smoothly too and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our holiday. Thank you for making everything so easy." Gloria K.
"My life has been like a whirlwind since I got back. I am now on holidays and catching up with people that I have not had time to contact since coming back. Thank you so much for organising my trip to The States and Canada for me. I had a great time and everything went really well. All flights went well. The hotel you booked me into in Champaign was a really old home with beautiful gardens, all done up and run by two gay guys. It was really quaint and I loved it. I had a great time, everything went without a hitch, I loved all the accommodation that you organized for me and I would like to wish you a happy Christmas and all the best." Marlene S.
"A message of thanks to you and your staff. The holiday went off without any problems and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and and had a wonderful time. Again many thanks." Dianne D.
"We are back and rested after a hectic few weeks (away), but everything worked out extremely well. Thanks so much for all your organisation – once you get used to the trains and buses, life becomes easy. Once again, thanks to you and the team for all the organisation from both Lorraine and I – we really enjoyed the holiday. All the best." Bob C.
"We just wanted to let you know that the arrangements you put in place for us in WA worked beautifully. You said the Margaret River accommodation was exceptional and it certainly was both in terms of location and facilites. Thanks again." Betty and Clancy S.
