Norfolk Island is blessed with wild coastlines, subtropical rainforests, volcanic rock formations and protected natural spaces that are remarkably accessible. With so much of the island designated as reserves or part of Norfolk Island National Park, you’ll find a wealth of scenic picnic spots, walking trails and places to reconnect with the natural world. Whether you’re climbing cliffside trails, wandering beneath towering pines or birdwatching along the coast, every path leads to a special place.
Explore the natural wonders of Norfolk Island National Park at the Discovery Centre. This purpose-built centre is a must-visit for curious minds. Discover how the islands were formed, learn about our rare flora and fauna, and see how the National Park protects what makes Norfolk unique.
Just six kilometres off the southern coast, Phillip Island is an otherworldly landscape of reds, yellows and pinks. It’s a vital seabird sanctuary, home to masked boobies, black noddies and more. Often called the ‘Uluru of the South Pacific’, it is spectacular to view from many vantage points along Norfolk’s southern coastline.
Join a National Park Ranger every Monday at 1:30pm for a free 30-minute walk through the Botanic Garden. Learn about the island’s rarest plants and conservation efforts. Wheelchair-accessible, with seating and shelter available. Booking recommended via the National Parks website.
