"Watawieh?"
(how are you?) and the response
"Wata

About Us
KNOWLEDGE
We guarantee when you call one of our
Norfolk Island specialist consultants you
will be talking to someone who knows
the destination inside out
EXPERTISE
Every consultant regularly travels to Norfolk
Island. They know the best places to stay,
the best restaurants, the most interesting
tours and the best places to shop
SERVICE
One of our specialist sales consultants will
personally look after your holiday from your
first call to your return home. Specialist
Holiday consultants are with you all the way!
EXPERIENCE

to the South Pacific
VALUE
Our holidays include extra bonuses for
great value
Be Surprised!
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. Norfolk may not be
everyone's perfect holiday destination - but find
out for yourself and be surprised!"

My Island home
Sarah Donaldson, Norfolk Island Specialist, explains why Norfolk's well
kept secrets are slowly being shared amongst visitors to the island.
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.
