Lizard Island will re-open to visitors on 26 September 2020, following a temporary closure due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Lizard Island is the northernmost island on the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. With just 40 guest suites and 20 private beach houses offering direct access to more than 20 white-sanded beaches, an escape to Lizard Island is a luxuriously exclusive experience. Guests venture to remote snorkelling and diving spots on the inner and outer reefs where hundreds of vibrant fish and coral species thrive. Hikes retrace Captain Cook’s footsteps and offer panoramic views of the reef while the Australian Museum Lizard Island Research Station offers a fascinating insight into the day-to-day conservation of Lizard Island’s incredible natural environment.
Greg Magi, Executive Director of Parks & Resorts for Delaware North, the operator of Lizard Island, said he hoped Australian travellers would choose now to visit the Great Barrier Reef as a renewed focus on domestic travel has brought the country’s many remarkable travel destinations to the fore.
“After a lengthy period spent staying at home, what better escape than a luxury getaway to Lizard Island where guests can do as much or as little as they like, with plenty of fresh air, no crowds and fabulous wining and dining to boot?”
