I highly recommend The Norfolk Island Travel Centre to arrange a trouble-free getaway, especially for a group, to beautiful and friendly Norfolk Island. These Norfolk Island people, who live and work on the island, know the place backwards and have everything at their fingertips. They helped with promotion and made all booking for air flights, accommodation, tours, car hire – the lot. Their efficiency made our stay flawless and a most enjoyable experience.
