Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is one of only three island resorts located right on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.  It offers a spectacular island holiday destination and a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The island resort is very low-key and environmentally friendly, allowing you to encounter turtles, dolphins, a large variety of coral, fish and giant manta rays, and sea birds.

See giant Loggerhead & Green turtles nesting and hatching (Nov – Apr) and be surrounded by humpback whales (July – Oct).
