Loved Lady Elliot Island. Limited technology amazing wildlife. incredible experience from the plane rides to snorkeling to watching turtles lay hatch and return to the ocean. Expensive but worth every penny

The staff were wonderful, and the day trip is totally worth it even from Gold Coast like we did. Even for inexperienced swimmers and snorkelers the experience is very easy and if you are scared even after all of that, the staff will accompany you while you are holding onto a life raft which makes it impossible for you to not enjoy the amazing wildlife under the sea. I saw two giant turtles, a lot of colorful fish and two octopuses, and that's being in the water for around thirty minutes! Worth your time and money! Good job guys!

We stayed on the island for two nights this past weekend and it was absolutely phenomenal. You guys have created and maintained such an incredible place. From the wildlife in its natural habitat to the accommodation and the food (and everything in between and beyond), Lady Elliot Eco Resort exceeded all of our expectations. You are all so friendly and welcoming and truly go above and beyond to make the experience everything that it is. We will be back!!

Brilliant. Our family of 4 (kids 11 and 7) spent 5 days immersed in nature. The snorkelling was amazing, the meals great, the staff friendly and informative. The buoy lines on the western side made it so easy for the kids to join us.

Beautiful reef and coral. Snorkelling is some of the best I have encountered in my various trips to multiple reef / barrier islands. Wildlife is abundant in the sea (mantas, rays, reef sharks, all the finding nemo fiah you could ask for) and the land is ruled by the birds. Staff is super friendly and informative (unlike heron island). Family friendly. Internet is lame but if you need it faster, you're not doing Lady Elliot right :)

This island belongs to the commonwealth of Australia because this resort simply leases the island yet private pilots are not allowed to land there and access an island that he/she technically owns. We the people own this island, not a company...

An- und Abflug erfolgte in einer kleinen Propeller Maschine. Wir waren im Januar 2020 für 3 Nächte im Resort und in einem neu renovierten Zimmer mit Doppelbett und Bad untergebracht. Auf der Insel leben sehr viele Vögel, die tagsüber sehr laut sein können. An einigen Stellen riecht es je nach Windrichtung auch ziemlich strengst, auch leider bei der Restaurant Terrasse aber der Blick kompensiert alles. Das Essen war sehr gut, sowohl Buffet wie die Bestellungen aus der Karte. Die Schnorchel Möglichkeiten waren toll und vielfältig. Wir haben Schildkröten, kleine Riffhaie und viele bunte Fisch in allen Größen gesehen. Ein Spaziergang rund um die Insel ist traumhaft und die Sonnenuntergänge einfach toll.

We had a wonderful time at LEI. The snorkeling experience was outstanding with the healthy coral reef and its valleys of colour & quantity of marine life just magical. Special thanks to the staff who were cheerful & incredibly friendly. Simmo, in particular and Erin went out of their way to assist. It’s a place we highly recommend to all travellers. You would be amazed by the environmental transformation from the 60’s to now!

Being able to swim with turtles and manta rays - awesome. Equipment supplied for snorkelling was in top condition. Lunchtime buffet was a good spread. Only downside is inefficient layout of the buildings - having to go between different ones to collect equipment, towels, go to lockers and changing rooms felt a waste of time - particularly on a day trip. Can't speak for the quality of the accommodation as, unfortunately, there was no availability when we went, so book early!

Visiting here was the best thing we did on our trip to Australia. Stayed in an Eco cabin, canvas with bunk beds but perfect for our needs. Food at resort was lovely. Staff catered for every need. Snorkelling equipment provided. Great diving spots. Saw lots of turtles, sharks and an array of fish.

Thank you for providing vegan options. It was incredibly delicious and filling. Please do more of this as it looked way more appetising than the meat options and most omnis were taking lots of the vegan options anyway! Plus it’s better for the environment and animals, which is particularly relevant given this is an eco resort.Also, we stayed in a glamping tent which was lovely but please warn people that even light winds can make it very noise against the flapping tent walls and even with ear plugs it was difficult to sleep.It would also have been nice to be able to get 5mm full length wetsuits for snorkelling as the water was very cold but even though we had to pay extra to hire them, the dive shop only provided shorties for snorkelers which didn’t help much.Thanks again for a great stay.

Awesome place to unplug and enjoy nature. Some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving on Earth. The most diverse species found around the great barrier reef concentrated in a single pristine location.

Snorkelling heaven! Saw rays, turtles, whales, harmless reef sharks, blue star fish, schools of vibrant and large fish, plenty of sea cucumbers and clams, corals, all in safe waters just straight off the island into the reef. Amazing! The most wonderful thing was the constant whale song when your ears are below the water’s surface. Included in the package is the exciting flight over (from Bundaberg, Hervey Bay or Redcliffe), reasonable accommodation, snorkelling gear and reef shoes, and glass bottom boat trip. Do the glass bottom boat as soon as you arrive and book into the sunset cruise ASAP too. Our sunset cruise luckily became a whale watching cruise instead.
