Lady Elliot Island Vacations

Lady Elliot is a true coral cay island located at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef, 80klms north east of Bundaberg (north of Fraser Island). The island is regarded as one of the best diving and snorkeling locations on the Great Barrier Reef and is famous for its unspoilt coral reef and amazing array of spectacular marine life. Situated in a tidal lagoon and surrounded by a vast reef of living coral, the island is a rainbow of colours, from the surrounding turquoise and azure waters to the stunning white coral beaches and lush green vegetation. A declared "Marine National Park (Green) Zone", Lady Elliot is one of the few islands where you will see live coral and abundant bird and marine life at every level. Popular with visitors of all ages, it's little wonder that Lady Elliot is renowned as a nature lover's paradise. Activities Given Lady Elliot's status as one of the best snorkelling and diving locations in the world, exploring the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef is one of the main activities on the island. Step off the beach and snorkel, swim or dive to explore an underwater world of brilliantly coloured marine life, or simply relax and soak in the tranquil island atmosphere. Tour the reef in a glass-bottom boat, learn to snorkel or scuba dive, take a guided reef walk or stroll along a deserted beach. With exceptionally clear water year round, guests may encounter turtles, dolphins and a large variety of coral and fish as well as the giant manta rays that are synonymous with Lady Elliot Island. Those visiting the island during the right season may experience the wonders of turtles nesting or hatchlings emerging from the sand, birds nesting, or the blow and breech of the migrating humpback whales.
