The island is serviced by daily flights from Bundaberg or Hervey Bay.This Great Barrier Reef resort on Lady Elliot offers a range of holiday accommodation, from Island Suites overlooking a coral lagoon to permanent tent cabins. Turtle nesting and hatching occur seasonally in front of the Island Suites. An abundance of nature including nesting seabirds and humpback whales, also seasonal, brings nature to your doorstep.

Guided nature and reef walks allow you to explore the island, while snorkelling, diving and glass bottom boat tours let you discover the magic of the sea. Scuba divers may come face to face with a manta ray or moray eel and snorkellers can see the giant rainbow coloured parrot fish or the beautiful coral trout.
