Lizard Island at a Glance

Lizard Island is Australia’s northern most island beach resort and the ultimate spot for luxurious seclusion, facilities and diving. It is made up of Granite rock which formed deep below the earth’s surface about 300 million years ago. The island is a protected National Park which invites fantastic snorkelling exploration around it. Visitors to Lizard Island choose it for many different reasons including remoteness, wilderness, unspoilt beauty, luxury, fishing, amazing reefs, diverse coral assemblages and a safe anchorage. The island is surrounded by fringing reef, with over 350 species of hard corals that form the framework to the intricate and complex reef communities that surround the islands.
