Lady Elliot Island

Undoubtedly the crown jewel of the largest living structure on Earth, the Great Barrier Reef, is Lady Elliot Island, the southern-most island of the Reef chain. Here the dizzying swirls of colour, life and diversity both above and below the island, is unrivaled anywhere on the reef. It’s a Mecca for underwater life. Coral, fish, manta rays, whales and sharks all congregate here in spectacular abundance. Seabirds too thrive here on the abundant marine life on offer. Lady Elliot is the southern fortress of the entire reef system, the gateway to one of the great natural wonders of the world.
