Our private jet is bound for the lush island paradise of Norfolk Island via a direct Business Class flight. Upon touching down, we immediately become acquainted with our surrounds with a tour led by a local guide. Ascend Mt Pitt and be awarded with sweeping views of the entire island and surrounding ocean. We continue to St Barnabas Chapel, a picturesque church built in the 1880s. Our Welcome Dinner is held at the Homestead restaurant, where a farm-to-table philosophy is embraced. This exclusive private dinner has us feasting on meals crafted using local ingredients and cooked over an open fire. We retire to Paradise Hotel & Resort, our accommodation for the next four nights.

Your World experiences leave today in your hands. Perhaps begin the morning on a 4WD adventure through Norfolk Island’s National Park, where the gum forest and famous Norfolk Pines blanket the area in green. Alternatively, discover the island’s rich history with a guided tour through the historic Pitcairn Settlers Village. After time for lunch, we continue to Queen Elizabeth Lookout where we’re afforded sweeping views over the Quality Row houses and beyond to nearby Phillip and Nepean islands. It’s onto World Heritage Kingston for a dose of settlement history. Take your pick of where to dine this evening.

We begin the morning on a quest to discover the Norfolk Island of today with a guided tour of its sustainable practises. This is a real behind-the-scenes look at the workings of this self-sustaining island, an insight not many visitors are privy to. For lunch we visit The Hilli Goat, where we enjoy a delicious lunch of fresh produce and cheeses. Continuing on to Norfolk Island Museum, we gain insight into the island’s multi-layered history. Dinner is a private affair of traditional, local Norfolk dishes. As evening settles, we learn about Norfolk Island’s great untold story of the Bounty mutineers.

Begin the morning on a tour of Australian author Colleen McCullough’s eclectic home. It’s onwards to a place where art and history collide at Cyclorama, a 360° panoramic painting depicting the history of the Norfolk people. We take pause to enjoy lunch before the afternoon presents us with a choice between two Your World Experiences. Perhaps join a cheese tour and sample some of Norfolk Island’s finest cheeses, as well as visiting a local beehive where golden drops of honey are sourced. Alternatively, discover the island’s community farms which sustain the entire island. In celebration of our time here, our Farewell Dinner is set atop the island’s cliffs at Forrester Court.

Following breakfast, it’s back aboard our private jet for the return journey home.
