We spent a wonderful five nights at the Lady Elliot Eco resort which is the only accommodation on this small coral cay. The island is accessed by a short scenic flight from Hervey Bay or Bundaberg.

The snorkeling is excellent. On high tide you can snorkel in the lagoon which has an incredible variety of tropical fish, octopus, coral and abundant turtles. Swimming with turtles who appear to be unperturbed by our presence is such a beautiful experience. At low tide you can join a guided reef walk with the marine biologists who are part of the activities team.
