Lizard Island Resort, Great Barrier Reef, Australia -

Secluded within a National Park enriched with beautiful and diverse Australian wildlife and bounded by private beaches paired with personalised service, Lizard Island is truly like nowhere else.

Lizard Island is Australia’s northern most exclusive island resort, located 240km north of Cairns on the Great Barrier Reef, fringed by coral gardens and ribbon reefs. Access to the island is by one hour scenic flight from Cairns.

The Great Barrier Reef spans over 2300 kilometres and is listed as one of the Natural Wonders of the world.

Lizard Island’s unique location on the reef places it at the center of inner and outer reef systems as well as fringing reefs; all forming a critical part of the eco-system that is home to the most diverse, colourful and intriguing marine animal and plant life.

The wonders of Lizard Island’s location means that you have the rare privilege of simply stepping off the beach and snorkeling onto parts of the reef- witnessing the wonders of Giant Clam gardens and schools of tropical fish both big (our resident Groper, Simon, is over 200 kilos and likes to hang about close to shore) and small, manta rays, turtles and coral. Literally minutes by boat from the inner and outer reef systems with many fringing reefs to stop and explore on the way.

Lizard Island Resorts operates under Delaware North Companies (DNC).
