coastline. At the end of the walks, we all meet up on the clifftop for a delicious breakfast barbecue.
(These walks are not recommended for anyone with medical conditions)
This tour is also flexible - if you would prefer to sleep in and skip the bush walk, but would like to have breakfast on the
clifftop, you can join the walkers at Captain Cook Monument and share in the festivities.
1.00pm Indulgence Tour
We start the Indulgence Tour on the south-eastern side of Norfolk Island, at Ball Bay - just another stunning bay with
magnificent ocean views! Here you will learn all about how we get fuel ashore, as this is where our supply is unloaded.
We then move on to Steeles Point, to enjoy the sheltered valleys behind the coastal cliffs. You may even spot a White
Fairy Tern nesting in the forest! From here, we head to the Captain Cook Monument, a scenic lookout where you will
stand at the spot on the northern coast where Captain James Cook and his officers landed in 1774. It has some of the
best sea views on the Island, with offshore rock formations like Bird Rock and Elephant Rock. We will finish the day
the way all fantastic days should end - with wine, cheese & crackers on Mount Pitt. The Lookout gives a 360° view of
the whole island, so it will be a picnic to remember.

6.00pm: Island Fish Fry
The Norfolk Island Fish Fry is by far the most popular event for our visitors.. Ask anyone what you need to tick off
when you come to Norfolk Island - they’ll say the Island Fish Fry. This fantastic event has been operating for over 40
years. Imagine - a feast of local dishes, salads and homemade coconut bread, alongside mouth-watering fried fish that
you won’t forget. Your feast overlooks breathtaking coastal scenery as the sun sets - with live music in the background.
The dishes include ‘Pilhi’ (savoury banana Slice,) a special sweet potato mash with local herbs called ‘Ana’, coconut
bread and delicious coconut pie and cream for dessert. Your evening is completed by local entertainment from the
Baunti Byuutis dancing group, on our exclusive Western Side property ‘Orn Dar Cliff’. For those who drive themselves
and would prefer to stay for a short time, you can view the incredible sun setting over the ocean. It is honestly one of
the most stunning sunsets you will ever witness.
We recommend doing the Norfolk Island Fish Fry before the sound and light show!
(Wine and beer are available for purchase or you are welcome to BYO drinks)
8.15pm: Sound & Light Show
Nightfall at Kingston brings a completely different mood to the Convict Settlement on Norfolk Island. The stillness and
the stars are there just as they were, when the original settlers arrived in 1788. However, with the dramatic use of real-
life sounds, theatrical lighting and costumed actors, the stillness is broken as Pinetree Tours takes you through the hor-
rifying decades of Norfolk Island’s convict era. The Sound and Light Show tour is considered a must here.
It’s a lot of fun and you’ll come away with a whole new perspective.
Day 8: Friday
