Excursion Bridal track coastal walk tour at Norfolk

Looking for a way to breathe some very fresh air, see some astounding views, and be introduced to Norfolk Island’s diverse flora and fauna? Look no further – this Bridal Track Coastal Walk fits the bill perfectly. The primary segment of the trek is about 1.8km/1.2 mi of well-paced hiking, including some steep hills, gravel paths, and undulating terrain. It’s a fabulous chance to stretch your legs, burn off a few accumulated calories, and soothe your soul as you venture deep into the island’s pristine wilds.

Informed along the way by passionate local guides who know the isle’s every natural secret, this outing offers superb photo opportunities as the track winds through Norfolk Island National Park from Red Road to Captain Cook’s Lookout, traversing primeval subtropical rainforest and hugging high coastal cliffs to reach the northwest point of the island.

Some 25 rare and endemic bird species can be spotted in Norfolk’s forests, while over the summer breeding season, the island also hosts flocks of several migratory seabird species. The designated route also invites encounters with countless plant species, including some found nowhere else in the world.

The local bus transfer from the jetty to the trailhead and back takes about 25 minutes each way; the rest of this 3-hour adventure is spent in the rugged embrace of primal nature.
