Lizard Island lies well off the tropical Queensland coast within the Great Barrier Reef, surrounded by clear water and numerous beaches. Its distance from the mainland gives it a genuine island-wilderness quality.
Experiencing Lizard Island
Snorkel directly from shore, dive further afield, take guided nature walks or spend the day moving between secluded beaches. The marine environment is the central attraction.
Planning your stay
Reached by scenic flight, Lizard Island works best for travellers prepared to stay several nights and let the reef dictate the rhythm rather than treating it as an excursion.
