Norfolk Island, Australia Cruise Port

Norfolk Island is a small island that is found in the Pacific Ocean, which is located between the nations of New Zealand, Australia, and New Caledonia. The island has been considered to be part of the Commonwealth of Australia since 1901, and is part of Australia’s overseas territories. The island’s first inhabitants are believed to be the East Polynesians. They had settled on the island several years before it was colonized by Great Britain in 1788, as part of their Australian settlement. However, during the time of colonialism the island was uninhabited. The island boasts of having some of the best pine which is a vital export for the region. Listed below are some of the recommended experiences, attractions, and activities that visitors could enjoy after cruising to Norfolk Island, Australia:
 
  • Nature lovers should visit the Norfolk Island National Park that was founded in 1986. The park was put in place to strengthen the conservation efforts that were needed in the region, which boasts 174 native plants, of which 51 are endemic species.
     
  • Birdwatchers and nature lovers alike, should tour the island since it was identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International. Norfolk Island and the neighboring Nepean Island support the entire populations of Norfolk parakeets, white-chested white-eyes, and the slender-billed white-eyes.
     
  • Visitors should also take the time to go on a whale watching tour, in the island’s surrounding waters. The waters harbor several whale species and some dolphins. The boat tours bring visitors closer to the action with safety measures in place so as to ensure an enjoyable experience.
