| This month our team embark on our most significant project yet! We’ve kicked off the renovation of our restaurant, dining room, bar & café, with a vision to completely transform our space to harmonise with the natural beauty of the island. Over the next few weeks, get ready to witness this transformation. With sustainability at the heart of everything we do, eco-friendly building materials and products have been intertwined throughout the design. Fans of the ‘Thisbe’ shipwreck legacy will be thrilled to see it repurposed into unique features of the project, adding a touch of history and charm. This project is a testament to our teams’ dedication and creativity and we’re fortunate to have a group of skilled contractors guiding us every step of the way. The grand reveal is set for early June, and we can hardly contain our excitement to share our revitalised space with you! Keep an eye out for updates on our social media as we count down to the big reveal! |

Master Reef Guide Master Class |
| Back in March our Master Reef Guides Jess and Naz headed north for an immersive week at the annual Master Reef Guides – Reef Protection Mega Masterclass. All Master Reef Guides across the entire Great Barrier Reef united for an immersive learning experience. The gathering not only deepened their connection with the Reef but also provided them with up-to-date knowledge. They had the unique opportunity to learn about the Reefs cultural importance to Traditional Owners and learnt new techniques and skills enhancing their ability to guide and educate our guests on the Great Barrier Reef. Make sure to say ‘hello’ to a Master Reef Guide during your next visit to Lady Elliot Island ! |

| Humpback Whale season is just around the corner! From June – October every year these gentle giants make their annual migration from the Antarctic to the warmer waters of the Great Barrier Reef. On this journey Lady Elliot becomes a pit stop and almost daily in season regular sightings occur on our scenic flights, from our glass bottom boats, whilst snorkelling and diving and from the beach! Listen closely because their magical whale song can be head underwater whilst snorkelling and scuba diving! |

Project Manta Photo Competition |
| | Project Manta is a multi-disciplinary research group that was founded in 2007 to investigate the population biology and ecology of manta rays along eastern Australia. Photo-identification (photo ID) is one of the key methods used in their research. Individual manta rays can be differentiated by their distinctive ventral markings, comparable to human fingerprints. ‘Citizen Science’ is a major component of Project Manta for photo-ID data collection. Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort have been partnering with Project Manta since their inception and over that time over 1,000 individual manta rays have been identified in the waters surrounding Lady Elliot Island. In celebration of upcoming World Oceans Day on the 8th of June 2024 enter you best manta ray photos (bonus points for belly shots) into our photo competition and WIN! All images submitted will be added to the Project Manta database and will be critical in their research. Terms & conditions apply. |
