What is there to do during Summer

Being an island of course Norfolk boasts a great range of marine activities. Popular options are deep sea fishing (we call into catching not fishing!) experienced fishing charter operators will look after you - we have no harbour, so just loading the boat into the water from a crane is quite an experience on its own!  There are over 30 world class dive sites around Norfolk and the two outer islands of Nepean and Phillip, or if you are into soft adventure take a kayak tour and be awed by the rock formations, sea birds and marine life around the island. And if none of these appeal to you - keep your feet dry on board a glass bottom boat around the lagoon at Emily Bay. Snorkelling gear can also be hired locally. Catch an amazing sunset from the clifftops and later on star gaze into our clear night skies!

How do I get to Phillip Island? (An outer island)

Phillip Island is an outer island to the South of Norfolk Island and is part of the National Parks.
Join an experience operator for a boat cruise around Phillip or go ashore with a local treking guide to marvel at the majestic landscape with its variety of seabirds, unusual plants, beautiful flowers and rare fauna. The boat trip out to Phillip is approximately 30 minutes and of course is weather/sea conditions permitting.
The friendly staff at the Visitor Information Centre can make enquiries for you.
