Athletics
Home to several Pan Pacific Games medal winners, Norfolk is very active in all aspects of athletics. It now has an 8-lane track and has successfully staged the Pan-Pacific Veteran\'s Games. Triathlons, Summit (Mt. Pitt) to Surf and a host of other activities take place year round and visitors are encouraged to take part.
Bushwalking and Bird Watching
Many species of birds and plants are found nowhere else in the world.
Horse Riding
Horse Riding in the National Park and on private land. Silky Oaks Stables offer a full range of horse back guided tours. The "Billy Tea" and "City Slicker" rides are very popular.
Diving
Over 30 first-class dive sites and visibility to 80 feet make Norfolk a scuba destination that divers return to often. Discover a new world in a half-day introductory dive course that supplies tuition, all gear, and a dive on your first day in the safety of the lagoon with chances for photography. Or, in just 7 days, you can do a professional PADI course which will earn you international diving qualifications.
Golf
The stunning 72 par course is superbly situated on the ocean-side of Point Hunter Reserve and alongside the sweeping gardens of Government House. The "13th" along side the waters edge poses a real challenge for even the most talented. The Georgian home of the Stipendiary Magistrate has been graciously restored to form the clubhouse from whose grand veranda you can watch the action whilst enjoying a drink or snack. In August, the $30,000 Norfolk Island Pro-Am Classic attracts a talented field. There are many other annual tournaments held through out the year which attract many visitors. The mild climate makes for great conditions all year round. Green fees are extremely moderate. Clubs and buggies are hireable, and there is a resident pro to help with that slice.
Museums
See all four museums with a Museum pass for $20.00.
Fishing
Stories of catching four fish on a line are true! Trips can be arranged with professional local fishermen on well equipped boats. A feed of the magnificent \"Trumpeter\" (otherwise known as Red Emperor) is almost guaranteed and others often caught are Kingfish, Grouper, Snapper, Trivially and Rock Cod.
