Truly the jewel of the Pacific. Lord Howe Island sweeps in a crescent of opal and emerald surrounded by sapphire sea. It is the closest island getaway to Sydney and only less that a two hour flight from either Sydney or Brisbane (off the east coast). It is one of just four island groups to be inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage list for the global significance of its natural beauty and heritage.
A timeless natural paradise, where the pace is relaxed but there are plenty of activities and adventures to choose from. Unspoiled, golden sandy beaches without the crowds entices swimmers and surfers. The
crystal lagoon is bordered by the world’s most southerly coral reef. Just wander in off the beach to snorkel among colourful tropical fish, turtles and other marine life. Go scuba diving with HOWEA Dive or try your hand at deep sea fishing with a trip out on the M.V. CARINA. Lord Howe Island is known as one of the best fishing spots in the world. The M.V. CARINA also has coastal cruises available and the waters surrounding the island are so clean it is like an aquarium. Enjoy bushwalking, bike riding or just relaxing, families love the safety of the island and couples love the secluded corners, fine dining and natural beauty of this spectacular part of Australia. There is a great range of accommodation on the island like Howeana Apartments, The Broken Banyan, Waimarie and Ocean View Apartments that take great pride in offering their guests personal service.
To set foot on Lord Howe Island is to escape to a pristine environment, where you’ll be met with friendly hospitality and the kind of holiday experience that will make you never want to leave!
