The hidden wonders of Norfolk Island

May 16, 2016

For an island that is so close to Australia, it seems like we don’t hear enough about Norfolk Island, which is a shame because it’s absolutely fantastic!

Located in the South Pacific, the quiet island is home to beautiful and historic buildings, lush landscapes, gorgeous ocean views.

Although it’s geographically closer to New Zealand, the island has strong historical links to Australia and uses the same currency and power adaptors, making it super easy and convenient for Aussies to jump over there for a weekend getaway.

Starts at 60 is partnering with Spacifica Travel to bring you an absolutely exceptional offer for Norfolk Island.

This fantastic package deal – starting from just $1099* per person – includes flights, accommodation, car hire and plenty of great bonuses. This offer ends 25th May 2016, so get in quick!

How to Get Around

The easiest way to get around and make the most of your stay is to hire a car on the island. The streets are quiet and the locals are friendly so you don’t have to worry about running into any traffic or getting a little lost along the way.

Things to See

There’s plenty on offer and it takes a few days to tick everything off the list. Tourists repeatedly say however, that there are a few standouts that everyone should make sure they see while they have the chance.
