Travel Insurance: It is strongly recommended that passengers be covered by adequate travel insurance for protection against amendment or cancellation costs, travel delay, luggage, rental vehicle insurance excess and accidental death and personal liability. For the purposes of travel insurance Norfolk Island is deemed to be a domestic destination.  However please bear in mind your destination is an island, which is subject to aircraft diversion in extreme weather conditions. As airlines do not accept responsibility for flight delays or cancellations due to weather, passengers electing not to take travel insurance do so at their own risk for costs or losses sustained. Please be aware that you are not covered by travel insurance until payment is received at Norfolk Island Travel Centre and your policy is issued.

Passenger Names and Contacts:

It’s important you provide us with your full name as it appears on your Passport or Drivers licence to ensure your ticket matches your ID document.

Travel Documents, Visas and Health: The Department of Immigration and Border Protection advises anyone travelling between Norfolk Island and mainland Australia will be required to identify themselves. Although passports and visas are no longer mandatory for Australian citizens when travelling to Norfolk Island from Australia, a valid passport continues to be the preferred method of identification.

We recommend travelling with a passport if you have one, however technically photographic identification for Australian citizens such as an Australian driver’s licence, will be acceptable. Those without a passport may experience some delays with manual customs checks

Those travelling without a passport should also be aware that in the event of a flight diversion e.g. due to inclement weather preventing the aircraft to land on the island, the flight could be diverted to New Zealand. Those passengers without an Australian or NZ passport will not be permitted to leave the transit area at Auckland airport.

Non-Australian citizens who hold a permanent resident visa are able to travel to Norfolk Island without further visa requirements but must use a passport as your form of identification.

Normal Australian Customs and Immigration procedures will apply when entry is made from outside Australia (including New Zealand). A passport (valid on entry and departure) is necessary and a visa may be required for some foreign passports.

Taxes and Levies: Legislation requires collection of taxes and levies controlled by the airline, government or airport authorities. These costs may change without notice at any time up until departure. Full payment of Holiday does not exempt clients from the implementation of additional charges outside of our control. We will offer advice in this regard, but regret we do not control, nor will we be held responsible for any government's taxes, levies and airport charges.  Some countries charge departure tax upon departure and some airports charge a small Airport Improvement fee which must be paid direct by clients at that airport.

Cancellations and Amendments: Package prices are based on bulk purchase airfares with Qantas. Package prices advertised are subject to availability at time of booking. A minimum non-refundable deposit of $250 per person is due upon booking to enable us to proceed and commit to Qantas booking terms and conditions and to secure our services as your booking agent. In some cases financial commitments to the airline will be processed within 24 hours of making the reservation. Airfare is subject to availability and non-refundable after issue. Changes can be made up to 48 hours (notification business days only) prior to departure at a change fee of $200 per person plus any applicable upgrade fees, subject to availability. Accommodation cancellation penalties apply within 90 days prior to travel. Within 60 days of travel, up to 100% cancellation fees may apply. We therefore strongly recommend travel insurance which may protect you against some unforeseen cancellations.

NB: Non-refundable deposits are taken on behalf of suppliers as assurance of payment for services we book for you, as well as for the service we have undertaken on your behalf. There are many reasons why people decide to cancel travelling and in all cases deposits remain non-refundable
