DAY 3 (BD): Orientation Tour & Progressive Dinner – Monday, 16th February 2026
What better way to start our time on the island than with a half day orientation tour. Following breakfast at our accommodation we will be taken to some of the key historic areas, including Kingston, Cascade and Longridge. This is our chance to learn all about the fascinating history of Norfolk Island. See the famous convict buildings for yourself and enjoy the stories told in the full commentary as you visit each new place. Take in the amazing views from the lookouts, where you’ll get to enjoy our beautiful beaches in all their glory. Learn about Norfolk Island government, laws and of course our unique lifestyle. Some of the highlights include the renowned Melanesian Chapel and a visit to the grounds of an old island home – where you will be served morning tea. After our tour we return to the resort for a free afternoon. From here you can head into the township of Kingston to check out the local shops or take a break and relax by the pool in the resort. To finish off the day, we enjoy a 3-course meal progressing to different Norfolk Island family homes. A fun night, and a great way to meet the local people, and sample some of the island dishes.

DAY 4 (BD): McCullough’s Home & Island Fish Fry – Tuesday, 17th February 2026
After breakfast at the resort, we travel to the home of Colleen McCullough, world renowned author of 24 books who called Norfolk Island home for almost 36 years. Sadly, Colleen passed away in 2015 after a long battle with illness. Her beloved property “Out Yenna” is now open to tour. You are escorted through her magnificent home and can view Ric and Colleen’s priceless collection of artefacts gathered on their travels all over the world and see where her books were researched. This a glimpse into the life of a modern-day literary icon. We will split our group in half for this tour, with the other half enjoying some free time to explore town, before swapping with the other group. Dinner tonight is the famous Fish Fry. The Norfolk Island Fish Fry is by far the most popular event for any visitor. This fantastic event has been operating for over 40 years. Imagine – a feast of local dishes, salads and homemade bread, alongside mouth-watering fried fish that has been caught that very day. Your feast overlooks breathtaking coastal scenery as the sun sets – with live music in the background. But the day is not over yet, before returning to our accommodation we visit the Sound & Light Show. Nightfall at Kingston brings a different mood to the convict settlement. The stillness and the stars are just as they were before mankind arrived in 1788. However, with the dramatic use of real-life sound together with theatrical lighting and costumed actors, the stillness is broken as Pinetree Tours takes you through the horrifying decades of Norfolk Island’s convict era.

DAY 5 (BD): Norfolk Industry – Wednesday, 18th February 2026
An earlier start to things today, after we enjoy our breakfast at the resort, we head out to meet some locals. To get a real insight into the lifestyle on Norfolk Island, we need to meet the people and see them in action. Norfolk Island has many small businesses making different local products that we can see – and maybe have a taste of! We will also enjoy morning tea at a beautiful scenic location. Following the tour, we will have some free time to relax or do a bit more shopping through the local businesses. This evening, we dine at Bounty Bar & Grill for a two-course dinner, one of the best restaurants on Norfolk.

DAY 6 (BLD): Norfolk Indulgence – Thursday, 19th February 2026
This morning, following breakfast, we head out on the Norfolk Indulgence Tour. We start the tour on the south-eastern side of Norfolk Island, at Ball Bay – just another stunning bay with magnificent ocean views! Here we will learn all about how they get fuel ashore, as this is where the supply is unloaded. We then move on to Steeles Point, to enjoy the sheltered valleys behind the coastal cliffs. You may even spot a White Fairy Tern nesting in the forest! From here, we head to the Captain Cook Monument, a scenic lookout where you will stand at the spot on the northern coast where Captain James Cook and his officers landed in 1774. It has some of the best sea views on the Island, with offshore rock formations like Bird Rock and Elephant Rock. We will finish the tour the way all fantastic tour should end – with wine, cheese & crackers on Mount Pitt. The Lookout gives a 360° view of the whole island, so it will be a picnic to remember. Next, we will be transferred to Emily Bay where Donald will share his knowledge of Norfolk’s unique marine life. Once you’ve ‘walked the plank’ to board this Mutineer Descendant’s Glass Bottom Boat it takes just 60 seconds to be at the reef. View beautiful coral gardens & tropical fish inside the calm crystal waters of Norfolk’s lagoon. Don provides a full & interesting commentary on this environmental tour. You should be prepared for a touch of Norfolk humour. We will enjoy a light lunch with Don. Dinner tonight is in the resort restaurant before we head out for a night to remember. Wonderland by Night celebrates the colourful history of Norfolk Island and how the past has shaped its identity. The setting is 10 acres of magical Norfolk Pines, which are lit up like a magical enchanted forest. Meander along (or ride in the ‘moon buggy’) through a gentle winding path with a descendant of the Bounty Mutineers, as they recite poems and light up the dioramas, while sharing entertaining stories. Enjoy supper at the end of the walk, before being transferred back to our accommodation.

DAY 7 (BD): Life as Convict – Friday, 20th February 2026
After our late-night activities last night, we enjoy a leisurely morning today, with breakfast at the resort and time to relax by the pool. Early afternoon, we head out for a Convict Settlement Tour, an in-depth tour of the historic Georgian settlement of Kingston. Walk through the cemetery and hear the history of interesting convict & colonial headstones, hear stories of the houses along Quality Row. Walk through the ruins of the New Gaol, see the Pier Store, Boat Shed & the Crank Mill. Tonight, we continue to experience life as a convict, as we dress up as convicts ourselves and suffer through dinner with the Commandant. Think singing, laugher and a whole lot of silliness.

DAY 8 (BD): Breakfast Bushwalk & Cyclorama – Saturday, 21st February 2026
We will earn our breakfast this morning, starting the day with a walk in the great outdoors with a 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. At the end of the walk, we all meet up on the clifftop for a delicious breakfast barbecue. If you would prefer to sleep in and skip the bush walk, but would like to have breakfast on the clifftop, you can join the walkers at Captain Cook Monument and share in the festivities. Following our breakfast feast we visit the Cyclorama. An outstanding attraction & Tourism Awards winner, this stunning 360° panoramic painting has been impressing visitors with its ‘wow’ factor for over 10 years. It brings to life the Bounty mutiny & the history of the Norfolk Island people. Tonight we enjoy dinner at the Governor’s Lodge Resort.
