Norfolk Island National Park

Norfolk Island National Park covers forested ridges, coastal cliffs, and subtropical gardens across the island. Mount Pitt and Mount Bates are the highest points, both offering views over the landscape and surrounding ocean.

The area became a national park in 1986 to protect Norfolk Island's natural environment. The Captain Cook Monument marks early exploration of the island and its connection to maritime history.

The Discovery Centre displays information about local wildlife and native plants, helping visitors understand what grows and lives here. You can see how people have learned to protect these species over time.

Multiple walking trails open year-round let visitors explore at their own pace through different areas of the park. The Discovery Centre on weekdays helps orient you to the park and available routes before heading out.

The park protects several bird species found naturally nowhere else on earth, including the Norfolk Island green parrot. These rare creatures are part of why the park exists as a protected area.
