Self-Guided Exploration

Make the island your own

Norfolk Island rewards curiosity. Whether you’ve got a full itinerary or no plan at all, some of the best moments happen when you let the road, the light, or a hunch guide the way. This is an island made for self-guided discovery – unhurried, wide open, and full of quiet surprises.

Roll the Windows Down and Roam

At just 8km by 5km, Norfolk might seem compact – but with over 120km of roads and tracks, it’s built for exploration. Jump in the car, take the scenic route, and go where the mood takes you. Around the next bend could be a sweeping view, a roadside stall, or a cliffside picnic spot that’s all yours.

Chase the Sun

Start with sunrise at Flagstaff Hill and end with sunset over Puppy’s Point. From golden mornings to fiery evenings, Norfolk’s light shifts constantly, transforming the island hour by hour. Follow the sun, the shadows, or your own sense of wonder.

Top Tips for Surfing Off Norfolk Island

  • Download Google Maps offline – mobile reception is patchy in places.
  • You can’t really get lost – but you can find something unexpected.
  • Look out for picnic tables –  they’re tucked into some of the island’s most scenic spots.
  • Follow your curiosity – it’s often the best guide you’ll find.
