We are a family of 4 (2 early 40's semi-adventurous parents and 2 boys ages 11 and 8) and we LOVED Lady Elliot Island! When planning, we went back and fourth trying to decide between Heron and Lady Elliot and finally decided on both- really wish we would have just stayed at Lady Elliot the whole time. It is much...

We stayed on the island for Easter 2012. It was a wonderful holiday with such friendly and great staff. Our four children loved every minute from Reef Rangers with Nicole to snorkeling with manta rays with Maggie and Kym. We must have swam with more than 50 manta rays during a 1 hr snorkeling safari. Our final night was a... More

I stayed here about 4 years ago and it was just amazing, best experience! The food was to die for and very full every meal. We were here for a week and it got a bit repetitive. The only things u can do is water activities and beach walks. We were so burnt after the first couple of days we... More

Lady Elliot is a great way to experience the reef, not merely visit it. The resort has very basic amenities in a very natural setting. Our room was fairly spacious with one large bed and a bunk bed, stepping from our front porch onto the beach for beautiful sunrises. The island is intentionally very dark at night for the sake...

We found it to be better than the more expensive Heron Island. The only downside was the rooms. They were very basic and small. During our visit there was also... More

We had a day trip to Lady Elliot Island and were so impressed that we will most likely come back to stay. Travelling from Bundaberg, the 10 seater plane was very cramped, but it was only for 25 minutes. Upon arrival, we were met at the airstrip by Maggie, who showed us where everything was and took us through to... More

Have just returned from third vacation to LEI - 7 fantastic days of relaxing and endless snorkelling straight off the beach. Snorkelling choices of reef lagoon when tide is high (particularly for those less confident at snorkelling), or on other side of island (only a 5min walk from accommodation) which has fantastic coral reefs/bommies, abundant tropical fish, swam with magnificent...

The snorkelling was excellent. The avaliability of information re turtles/other wildlife was interesting and the staff were warm, friendly and helpful. More
