Your host will join you for some  dinners this week and will be able to answer any questions you may have about the island. \nTonight is an information and welcome evening.  Starting off with a presentation from Norfolk Island National Parks to help set you up for the week. The Norfolk Island National Park and Botanic Garden was declared in 1986 and now makes up 19% of the land area of the island. The park is home to stunning scenery and walking tracks that take visitors on a journey through plant habitats found nowhere else on earth. Discover palm forests\, walk under the tallest tree ferns on earth and explore breathtaking stands of Norfolk Island pine growing up to sixty metres high. \nFollowing the information session join your host for a 2-course dinner at Paradise Hotel. \nThursday 12 November 2026 \nSydney guests this morning set off on the Island Life Tour and conclude with lunch at the Boatshed Restaurant. \nTouring will commence with Margaret today. Please note that because of limited numbers at any one time on the Eco and Bird Tour\, passengers will be split up across the week. Your tour date for the Eco and Bird Tour will be confirmed when you receive your final documents prior to travel.   Norfolk Island's unique birds are waiting for you! You can be one of the many visitors who says\, " This has been my best day on Norfolk!" after visiting easy access forest glades\, private property\, and stunning coastal areas. This is where 25 rare and endemic bird species can be found in the island's subtropical rainforest. Sensational photographic opportunities. There will be morning tea provided and comfort stops available. The sale is an easy stroll on a slight gradient without steps. After the bird tour concludes there will be a picnic lunch provided. \nThe rest of the day and the evening is at leisure.  When you make your reservation ask our consultant about adding a clifftop fish fry this evening.  You’ll  taste some delicious local fresh fish with salads and delicious pies for dessert. (Additional cost applies). \nFriday 13 November 2026 \nToday\, further  guests will join Margaret for her Eco and Bird Tour.  You’ll be advised which day you’re touring with Margaret when final documents are issued prior to travel. \nThe rest of the day is at leisure.  Equipped with your bird list and information pack you’ll be all set to search for Norfolk’s birdlife.   The island is known for its unique endemic species like the endangered Norfolk Island Green Parakeet and Norfolk Island Robin\, as well as large seabird colonies. The island is a breeding site for over 1% of the world's population of Wedge-tailed Shearwaters and Red-tailed Tropicbirds. You might like to spend some more time leisurely wandering around the Botanic Gardens or perhaps spend some time down at Kingston where the foreshore areas near Kingston Jetty and Slaughter Bay are good places to spot shorebirds like the Pacific Golden Plover and Wandering Tattler. \nThe evening is at leisure and we suggest you try one of our great Norfolk restaurants.  There are plenty to choose from. \nSaturday 14 November 2026 \nToday is at leisure.   If you’ve already scratched off a few of our feathered friends on your list\, then why not enjoy a leisurely breakfast at one of Norfolk’s great cafes or use your rental vehicle to set out and explore.  How about a swim?  Splash in the crystal-clear waters of Emily Bay or don a snorkel and seek out some of the amazing marine life that lives in the bay.  Don’t want to get wet?  What about visiting one of our fabulous museums or take a stroll through the picturesque cemetery to look at the resting place of some of Norfolk’s convicts? \nTonight\, meet Margaret and some of her family as they take you on the Norfolk Birds by Night tour.  Venture out to see Norfolk’s nocturnal birds including muttonbirds and blackwing petrels. You will also search for the morepork\, and possibly the elusive little shearwater that has never been pinned down to species. \nSunday 15 November 2026 \nThe morning is at leisure today.  You might like to visit Norfolk’s Sunday markets.  The market features a variety of local crafts\, art\, souvenirs\, and produce\, along with live music and fresh coffee - and runs rain\, hail\, or shine. \nThis afternoon\, Lilli will take everyone for a guided seabird bird walk through Norfolk's most pristine 100 Acre coastal reserve. You will be introduced to the different ecosystems in this surprisingly diverse environment and meet the migratory species that call this reserve home for their summer breeding. Species you will likely encounter include the White Tern\, the White-Capped Noddy and the Red-Tailed Tropic Bird. You will also learn about the nesting behaviours\, migration patterns and cultural significance of these special visitors and have fantastic photo opportunites backdropped by Norfolk's dramatic coastline. \nMonday 16 November 2026  \nToday is at leisure for you to continue your hunt for some of our more elusive species.  Have you got that green parrot photo yet?  If not\, you’d better head up the National Park and grab a photo with the giant green parrot in the information centre. \nThis evening make your way to Governor’s Lodge for a Farewell Dinner with your Norfolk host.  Time to share your photos and exchange email addresses with new-found friends as you start to wrap up your week on Norfolk. \nTuesday 17 November 2026 \nWhilst Sydney guests have a final day at leisure today our Brisbane guests will be transferred to Norfolk Island Airport for the journey home. \nWednesday 18 November 2026 \nSadly\, the week has come to an end.  Sydney guests will be transferred to Norfolk Island Airport today as it’s time to say goodbye to Norfolk. \n**Itinerary is subject to change** \n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n						\n		\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n			\n	\n\n	\n    \n        \n            We want you to know how much we enjoyed Bird Week 2019. The object of the week was to see birds and our guides\, Margaret and Ron went out of their way to find them. That morning tea at Margaret's home with the Masked Boobies was a highlight. The day that Ron led us on the Palm Glen walk the Green Parrots were shy so he then took us to the Red Road to show us a good spot and when we came back later we had great views of the Parrots. This was our third visit to Norfolk Island and our second Bird Week (2016) but there is always something new to see and we have met many lovely people. \n            \n    \n    \n        \n            Eric and Margaret Wheeler\,\n        \n        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n						\n		\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n		Terms and Conditions\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	Norfolk Island Travel Centre event packages offer the perfect balance of independent and guided experiences.

The Norfolk Island National Park and Botanic Garden was declared in 1986 and now makes up 19% of the land area of the island.

Please note that because of limited numbers at any one time on the Eco and Bird Tour\, passengers will be split up across the week. Your tour date for the Eco and Bird Tour will be confirmed when you receive your final documents prior to travel.   Norfolk Island's unique birds are waiting for you! You can be one of the many visitors who says\, " This has been my best day on Norfolk!" after visiting easy access forest glades\, private property\, and stunning coastal areas. This is where 25 rare and endemic bird species can be found in the island's subtropical rainforest. Sensational photographic opportunities. There will be morning tea provided and comfort stops available. The sale is an easy stroll on a slight gradient without steps. After the bird tour concludes there will be a picnic lunch provided. \nThe rest of the day and the evening is at leisure.  When you make your reservation ask our consultant about adding a clifftop fish fry this evening.  You’ll  taste some delicious local fresh fish with salads and delicious pies for dessert. (Additional cost applies). \nFriday 13 November 2026 \nToday\, further  guests will join Margaret for her Eco and Bird Tour.  You’ll be advised which day you’re touring with Margaret when final documents are issued prior to travel. \nThe rest of the day is at leisure.  Equipped with your bird list and information pack you’ll be all set to search for Norfolk’s birdlife.   The island is known for its unique endemic species like the endangered Norfolk Island Green Parakeet and Norfolk Island Robin\, as well as large seabird colonies. The island is a breeding site for over 1% of the world's population of Wedge-tailed Shearwaters and Red-tailed Tropicbirds. You might like to spend some more time leisurely wandering around the Botanic Gardens or perhaps spend some time down at Kingston where the foreshore areas near Kingston Jetty and Slaughter Bay are good places to spot shorebirds like the Pacific Golden Plover and Wandering Tattler. \nThe evening is at leisure and we suggest you try one of our great Norfolk restaurants.  There are plenty to choose from. \nSaturday 14 November 2026 \nToday is at leisure.   If you’ve already scratched off a few of our feathered friends on your list\, then why not enjoy a leisurely breakfast at one of Norfolk’s great cafes or use your rental vehicle to set out and explore.  How about a swim?  Splash in the crystal-clear waters of Emily Bay or don a snorkel and seek out some of the amazing marine life that lives in the bay.  Don’t want to get wet?  What about visiting one of our fabulous museums or take a stroll through the picturesque cemetery to look at the resting place of some of Norfolk’s convicts? \nTonight\, meet Margaret and some of her family as they take you on the Norfolk Birds by Night tour.  Venture out to see Norfolk’s nocturnal birds including muttonbirds and blackwing petrels. You will also search for the morepork\, and possibly the elusive little shearwater that has never been pinned down to species. \nSunday 15 November 2026 \nThe morning is at leisure today.  You might like to visit Norfolk’s Sunday markets.  The market features a variety of local crafts\, art\, souvenirs\, and produce\, along with live music and fresh coffee - and runs rain\, hail\, or shine. \nThis afternoon\, Lilli will take everyone for a guided seabird bird walk through Norfolk's most pristine 100 Acre coastal reserve. You will be introduced to the different ecosystems in this surprisingly diverse environment and meet the migratory species that call this reserve home for their summer breeding. Species you will likely encounter include the White Tern\, the White-Capped Noddy and the Red-Tailed Tropic Bird. You will also learn about the nesting behaviours\, migration patterns and cultural significance of these special visitors and have fantastic photo opportunites backdropped by Norfolk's dramatic coastline. \nMonday 16 November 2026  \nToday is at leisure for you to continue your hunt for some of our more elusive species.  Have you got that green parrot photo yet?  If not\, you’d better head up the National Park and grab a photo with the giant green parrot in the information centre. \nThis evening make your way to Governor’s Lodge for a Farewell Dinner with your Norfolk host.  Time to share your photos and exchange email addresses with new-found friends as you start to wrap up your week on Norfolk. \nTuesday 17 November 2026 \nWhilst Sydney guests have a final day at leisure today our Brisbane guests will be transferred to Norfolk Island Airport for the journey home. \nWednesday 18 November 2026 \nSadly\, the week has come to an end.  Sydney guests will be transferred to Norfolk Island Airport today as it’s time to say goodbye to Norfolk. \n**Itinerary is subject to change** \n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n						\n		\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n			\n	\n\n	\n    \n        \n            We want you to know how much we enjoyed Bird Week 2019. The object of the week was to see birds and our guides\, Margaret and Ron went out of their way to find them. That morning tea at Margaret's home with the Masked Boobies was a highlight. The day that Ron led us on the Palm Glen walk the Green Parrots were shy so he then took us to the Red Road to show us a good spot and when we came back later we had great views of the Parrots. This was our third visit to Norfolk Island and our second Bird Week (2016) but there is always something new to see and we have met many lovely people. \n            \n    \n    \n        \n            Eric and Margaret Wheeler\,\n        \n        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n						\n		\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n		Terms and Conditions\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	Norfolk Island Travel Centre event packages offer the perfect balance of independent and guided experiences.
