How to get to the Lady Elliot Island
Lady Elliot Island, located 80km/50mi north of Bundaberg, is the southernmost coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef. The island can be reached by daily flights that land at the island’s airstrip. The Island is located within a Marine National Park ‘Green Zone’ and forms part of the Great Barrier Reef, which is a World Heritage Area. Only a limited number of guests are allowed at one time, so it is advisable to book a dive trip to Lady Elliot Island in advance because the island is very popular with families and leisure groups that are keen to explore this rich marine ecosystem. The tourist activities on the island include swimming, guided snorkeling classes by marine biologists, diving, reef walks, and guided cruises on glass-bottom boats.
