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.

When is a good time to travel to the World of Norfolk

A commom question is 'what is a good time to travel to our island' Norfolk is sub tropical (not tropical) like other South Pacific islands and generally this means we do not get extreme changes in our climate. e.g on Tuesday for the first day of Winter it was a magic day, sunny and 21o, this temp generally won't drop too much this season, however cooler at night so pack a jumper! Our best Summer's reach about 27o, so no real extreme weather changes; during Summer its still very pleasant to take a bushwalk or enjoy a round of golf.  If you are planning a holiday, and need to know more about our weather, or anything else, just ask a local!
