The convict ruins at Kingston will keep even the littlies entertaine­d. Once a jail for the worst of the worst, kids can clamber over the ruins and imagine what life on Norfolk was like for earlier settlers and convicts alike.

Pull out the clubs

Mini golf is always entertaini­ng whether you’re five or fifty-five, and on Norfolk, you can play for free. The themed course is open every afternoon from 2pm, and the island’s only soft serve soft serve icecream parlour is right next door. For those who enjoy their golf on a larger scale, Norfolk also has its own linksstyle golf course with ocean views from every hole.

Enjoy a progressiv­e dinner

Indulging in a progressiv­e dinner is a must on Norfolk. Almost everyone who visits says it’s a highlight, and it’s easy to see why when you experience the hospitalit­y and generosity of three local families over three courses – each enjoyed in a different islander’s home.

Throw in a line

The seas around Norfolk are teeming with sea life and locals are keen to show travellers the best spots. If fishing isn’t what your clients have in mind, they can always enjoy watching the boats being lowered in and out of the water, as Norfolk doesn’t have any boat ramps.
