Lady Elliot Island is a stunning coral cay, a low sandy island sitting directly on the Great Barrier Reef. It’s the perfect place to explore the abundance of the Reef’s ecosystem. Snorkel in the clear waters, stroll along the sandy beaches, and unwind in one of the world’s most beautiful places.

Depending on the time of year, you may be lucky enough to see turtles or whales. And of course, colourful fish, vibrant plants, and exotic birdlife can be enjoyed all year round.

Lady Elliot tours offer snorkelling and diving, or you can view the world below from the comfort of a glass bottomed boat. You have the option of a one day experience from the Gold Coast, Hervey Bay, Brisbane or Bundaberg. But to really make the most of this extraordinary place, take a few days, staying in an eco lodge right on the island itself.
