Guided Tour of Kingston, Norfolk Island

Overview

Explore the historical past of Norfolk Island on a guided tour of Kingston, a World Heritage site and one of the island's most evocative landscapes. The excursion focuses on the two British penal establishments. The local guide details the events and systems that shaped the site, from the first European settlement in 1788 to the second colony, when Norfolk Island was known as one of the harshest penal colonies in the British Empire. The tour also covers the other communities that called Kingston home: the early Polynesian settlers who lived on the island centuries before the Europeans, and the descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian families who arrived from Pitcairn Island in 1856. The experience includes light refreshments and a guided visit to the historic Kingston cemetery.
