Praise
After a day spent shadowing sea turtles and finding Nemo among labyrinths of technicolor coral, it’ll be clear why Lizard Island is so much more than a typical island paradise.
Fodor's Travel, January 2025It’s one of the few luxury resorts in Australia with the bragging rights to being located directly on the Great Barrier Reef. An easy 10-minute snorkel from shore will reveal the alternate, neon-tinged universe of the fringing reef.
