Norfolk Island penal rates

Free rental cars, daily breakfasts, cocktail parties and tennis are bonus offers in many holiday packages to Norfolk Island between now and December 9.

Prices start at $1019 a person twin share and include airfares, accommodation and airport transfers. Where the offer does not include a rental car, visitors get a half-day tour around the island that was once home to Britain's harshest penal colony.

Norfolk Islanders do not pay income, company or sales tax and nor do their visitors, so holiday shoppers can expect savings of 25-40 per cent.
