Why Lizard Island is a unique Great Barrier Reef experience

Lizard Island is unique because it is a continental island located right on the reef, meaning you can snorkel directly from the beach into gardens of giant clams and colourful coral.

Signature highlights

• Seclusion: With only 40 suites, the island never feels crowded, even at full capacity.
• Private Beaches: With 24 white-sand beaches, it is often possible to have an entire stretch of coast to yourself for a gourmet picnic.
• World-Class Diving: Access some of the reef’s most famous dive sites, including the renowned Cod Hole.
• Gourmet Dining: Enjoy all-inclusive dining and beverages, with menus that highlight the best of fresh, local Australian produce.
