Rob Adams, Norfolk Island Specialist, explains why his birthplace attracts thousands of return visitors year after year. "From the minute you arrive you notice the clean fresh air and the laid back "Norfolk way" that makes you feel relaxed and very comfortable. There's more to do than you ever imagined... deep sea fishing, ocean kayaking, snorkeling, horse trail rides, golf, tennis, lawn bowls, target shooting and the exhausting task of exploring the shops. For a slower pace you can join a yoga class or take a quiet walk in the National Park. When it comes to food, what more can you want, from the finest a-la carte restaurants and cafe's to picnics and BBQ's on the beach. Food on Norfolk is a way of life where the real cost is to the waistline not the wallet. While I call Norfolk home and to many thousands of visitors it feels like home.

Many people comment that Norfolk has so much more to offer than they ever expected... and that's just at the start of their holiday! It has a wide range of activities from snorkeling in the crystal blue waters at Emily Bay (as long as you're not scared of being swarmed by schools of beautiful tropical fish!) Kayak untouched areas that only the locals know, scuba dive coral reefs in the cleanest and liveliest waters, go fishing (land or deep sea) and so many more activities that are only now being found! If all this adventure gets exhausting pamper yourself with a massage, loosen up with a round of golf or simply unwind and watch the sunset. Norfolk Island truly is paradise - the most unique place on earth, and I am one of the lucky 1800 who get to call it my island home.
