Overview

With its abundance of rainforests, coral reefs, beaches and volcanic peaks, this World Heritage-listed island is truly unique.

Only 11 kilometres long, Lord Howe Island is packed with diverse plant and marine life. The island has a limit on visitor numbers so you'll never compete for space. Because of its location, the island enjoys a temperate all-year climate. The sea water is consistently warm.

The island draws nature-lovers and adventure-seekers alike. Apart from pristine beaches, lagoons and hidden coves, the island offers wonderful bushwalking opportunities. It also makes an ideal romantic getaway. Scuba diving and snorkelling are very popular activities.

The island boasts the world's southern-most coral reef. Here you'll find crystal clear water, over 500 species of fish and 90 coral species. Whales and dolphins appear offshore in season. Deep-sea fishing, tennis, cycling or just drinking in the tranquillity are other favourite pursuits on the island.

This magnificent island is like nowhere else in the world. We're sure you'll agree.
