Where is Norfolk Island?

Norfolk Island is a small subtropical island approximately 1,600 km north-east of Sydney and 1,100 km north-west of Auckland. The 8 km by 5 km of verdant landscape bordered by pristine coastline make up our beautiful home in the South Pacific. It only takes a short flight from Australia or New Zealand to feel totally off-grid. All passengers arriving on our island via commercial flights will be greeted by a Norfolk Island Tourism representative who will show you to your bus transfer, hire car operator or accommodation host.
