LORD HOWE ISLAND

Lord Howe Island is located 790km northeast of Sydney Australia. An ancient volcano rises from the depths to create one of the most unique locations on the planet. World Heritage Listed in 1982. The island prides itself on a maximum capacity of guests that can stay at any one time which ensures there is always a secluded beach to yourself! Renting and riding your bicycle around the island is the preferred method of transport. The surrounding beaches and bays range from gentle snorkelling coves, to surf beaches, low tide lagoon frolics and cliff hanging coastlines. If the awe inspiring landscapes aren’t enough, the bird life and marine wonderland is sure to steal your heart.

The island is lucky enough to receive the tail end of the East Australian Current which circulates electric blue currents around the island during the summer months. This is ideal freediving conditions, warm water temperatures of 22 - 24 degrees and visibility as far as the eye can see. This mix of tropical and temperate currents has created unique marine habitats that have resulted in numerous endemic species to the area. Lord Howe Island and the surrounding waters support the world’s southernmost tropical coral reef and the only fringing coral reef lagoon in NSW. I can assure that you will be squealing through your snorkel when you witness the magic this creates underwater.
