Lizard Island is one of a kind—a work of nature’s art—located right on the Great Barrier Reef, near Cairns
If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, Lizard Island should be top of the list. This is, without question, one of Australia’s premier resorts. Its unique location on the Great Barrier Reef is rare enough, but Lizard Island offers the full spectrum - both the inner and outer reef experiences.
On Lizard Island you can snorkel off a secluded beach to discover a garden of giant clams, many a yard long and some reputed to be over 120 years old. And there are 23 other soft, powdery white beaches just waiting to be explored. Lizard Island is renowned for diving. At the world famous ‘Cod Hole’, you’ll come face to face with a massive, yet curious Potato Cod swimming right up to inspect you with child-like curiosity.
Magnificent walks abound, and on at least one you can expect to glimpse a Monitor, the lizard after which the island was named. Healthy appetites are then rewarded with superb dining - fresh local produce prepared with European and Asian influence.
You’ll find all meals and most activities are included and although remote, access is easy.
