Pinetree Tours: Island Culture Tour – Discover Norfolk Island’s rich, vibrant & unique culture

It won’t take long for you to realise that Norfolk island is soaked in a rich and vibrant history and heritage. Through each of the island’s beautiful layers of history, a distinctive and special culture has evolved. Traditions and methods that have been born from each of Norfolk’s settlements have been passed down through generations of islanders. Together they have formed the fabric of an entirely unique community. 

On Pinetree Tours’ Island Culture Tour you will discover the rich culture and heritage of the islanders and their forebears. Delve into the arts of weaving, cooking, dancing and the Norfolk Language, ‘Norf’k’ – inherited from the islander’s mutineer ancestors and their Tahitian companions.

Norfolk Islanders are resourceful people and always have been. Being isolated in the ocean will do that! There’s never been the same sort of overnight solutions you’d find on the mainland, and even today in the modern era where many things are a simple click away, ‘making do’ and being innovative, inventive and creative remains a large part of island-life. 

On this fascinating tour you will get to see this first-hand as you join Pinetrees for a fun-packed journey. Highlights include: A cooking demonstration, where you will get to indulge in a taste of some traditional dishes. A dancing demonstration where you can sway your hips and master a little bit of Tahitian Island dancing. Plus, why not try your hand at weaving, and attempt some of the Norf’k language – a mix of 18th-century English and Tahitian that is now classified as ‘vulnerable’ by the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger.

Pinetree Tours are proud to share Norfolk’s culture with you through all of their tours. Norfolk Islanders are a proud and unique people, and there is nowhere that this is on greater display than the Island Culture Tour. So, yorlye kam lukorn (everyone come and have a look).
