Lord Howe Island
A small Australian island with sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and subtropical forests, Lord Howe Island is paradise on earth. Situated in the Tasman Sea, the Island offers sweeping views of coral and fish-rich waters ideal for snorkeling. Listed by UNESCO World Heritage as a rare and untouched destination, and by National Geographic in its Best of the World list for 2021, Lord Howe Island is simply beyond words.
The Island is made up of pristine beaches, colorful coral reefs, vibrant wildlife, only 382 privileged residents and just 400 tourists are permitted on the island at any given time. Adding to its exclusivity though it is merely 2 hours away from Sydney.
Lord Howe Island combines warm tropical climates with cool temperatures brought by ocean currents, the best part about a trip to this Island is the glass-bottom boat tour. This unique way of seeing the coral is ideal if snorkeling is not for you. Watch over 450 fish and 90 coral species that are found nowhere else on the planet. You can even hand-feed some of them, how mind-blowing is that?
