A small volcanic island east of mainland Australia, Lord Howe is defined by dramatic peaks, a sheltered lagoon and exceptional terrestrial and marine biodiversity. Visitor numbers are deliberately limited.
Experiencing Lord Howe Island
Walk through palm forest, snorkel or dive the lagoon and outer reef, cycle quiet roads and, for experienced walkers, tackle the demanding ascent of Mount Gower with a guide.
Planning your stay
Lord Howe rewards a longer stay because weather and ocean conditions vary. Its calm scale makes it particularly appealing after time in Sydney.
