Tourist Season in Norfolk Island
Norfolk can be visited all year round, however, the best time is the months of December through March, when it is warm, sunny and the rains do not hinder a visit. This is the ideal time for those who want to go scuba diving, relax on the beaches and enjoy water sports.
You can also see Norfolk during the rest of the period, but these months are colder and more rainy and stormy (especially the winter period from June to August), which can complicate your vacation somewhat.
