About this tour
Pair a guided bushwalk across Norfolk Island with a clifftop breakfast cooked over open flame. Choose between an easy meander through Palm Glen Reserve or the more demanding 3.5 km track up Mt. Bates to Captain Cook Monument. Both routes deliver coastal views and snippets of the island's colonial past before you gather at the clifftop for grilled breakfast while taking in the ocean panorama. The whole experience runs three hours and suits walkers with basic fitness upwards.
Highlights
- Two walk options: leisurely Palm Glen or challenging Mt. Bates summit
- Clifftop barbecue breakfast with views of Norfolk's coastline
- Learn about Captain Cook Monument and island history
- Suitable for mixed fitness levels with proper preparation
- Small group adventure combining exercise and outdoor cooking
What to expect
You'll start the morning either strolling through the lush Palm Glen or tackling the steeper Mt. Bates route, depending on your choice and fitness. The track climbs steadily if you pick Mt. Bates, taking roughly 90 minutes to reach the monument. Throughout, your guide points out historical landmarks and island detail. Once everyone arrives at the clifftop gathering point, the cooking begins—breakfast emerges from the flames whilst you stand about with a drink, watching the ocean roll beneath you. Expect to eat and chat for an hour before heading back.
Good to know
You need moderate fitness; medical conditions can rule you out. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Infants travel on an adult's lap. Bring a light layer—clifftops are windier than you'd think. Book ahead as numbers stay small.
