Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef is a National Park covering over 1,000 hectares, with 24 sandy beaches and famous Blue lagoon.
Lizard Island has a wide array of water-based experiences. Snorkelling equipment and lessons are provided for trips off of the beaches. Snorkel from one of the many secluded beaches to discover a garden of giant clams, some of which are reported to be up to 120 years old. Or you can explore Anchor and Watson’s bay on a catamaran or glass bottom paddle ski. There is also the option of taking a self-guided island or nature walk or enjoying a picnic hamper for a beachside lunch.
If you are a little more adventurous, there are diving and snorkelling trips to the Inner and Outer reef, and fishing enthusiasts can charter the 51ft private charter or dive the famous Cod Hole, where you’ll come face to face with the massive, yet curious Potato Cod (additional charge).
