JOURNEY DETAILS

Day 1 - Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island, 5 nights

Flying from Cairns, north along the Barrier Reef you arrive at Lizard Island where your hosts will escort you to your villa. The afternoon is yours to discover the island.

A site of remarkable variety and beauty, the Great Barrier Reef is a World Heritage Site extending 2,000 kilometres along Australia’s east coast. The Reef's diversity reflects the maturity of the ecosystem, which has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. It is the world's most extensive coral reef system and is one of the richest areas on the planet in terms of faunal diversity. Four hundred types of coral, 1500 species of fish and 4,000 types of mollusc have been recorded.

Located right on the Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island is a private paradise. You can chose any one of 24 powdery white beaches on which to relax with a picnic lunch hamper. Snorkel off a secluded beach to discover a garden of giant clams, some reputed to be over 120 years old.

Accommodation is in one of 40 rooms ranging from the ultimate indulgence of the Pavilion to the smaller Anchor Bay Garden rooms. All have a private deck with umbrellas and hammocks or daybed, CD players, air-conditioning as well as ceiling fans, beach towels, bathrobes and fully stocked mini-bar.

The a la carte verandah restaurant overlooks the beach and serves superb cuisine with an emphasis on local seafood and tropical fruits.

Day 2 to 5 - Lizard Island

Sail a catamaran to a private beach for an undisturbed picnic lunch. Laze in a hammock and read a book or simply do nothing! For the more energetic, there are self-guided nature trails around the island, tennis, a freshwater pool and a well-equipped gym. Tours to the Lizard Island Research Station, one of the foremost centres for coral reef research in the world, are also available.

Lizard is known as one of the best dive spots on the reef and you may take an introductory scuba lesson or a full day excursion to the outer reef (dive activities are at additional cost).

Day 6 - Departure from Lizard

Return to the Airstrip for the flight to Cairns.
