🌍 Happy Earth Day from #LordHoweIsland! 🌿

Today, we celebrate our planet and the incredible efforts to protect its natural wonders, including our own island paradise 🏝️

Lord Howe Island is a @unesco World Heritage site, home to rare wildlife, pristine coral reefs, and lush forests. Thanks to world-leading conservation programs - like the successful removal of invasive species and the reintroduction of native birds - our ecosystem is thriving 💚

Happy Easter from #LordHoweIsland! One of the best family adventures this time of the year is a visit to Little Island.🌴🌴🌴

🚲 Rent some bikes and head south to take in the majestic views of Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird up close. After a bit of rain, this part of the island transforms and the more rain the better as beautiful cascades of waterfalls add even more magic to the landscape. The small kids will enjoy the puddles and the birds!

🚌 Book a bus tour or a guided tour with @chasenthyme_tours and learn more about flora, fauna and history, as well as life on the island from the past to the present.

🥾 In the afternoon, walk the Little Island track and keep an eye on the skies - you might catch the spectacular aerial courtship displays of the Providence Petrel. One of the world’s rarest birds, the Providence Petrel returns to nest in the southern mountains, making this a truly special sight to witness.

🧗 For adventurous families with teenagers or adult-only groups, a full-day guided hike up Mount Gower is an unforgettable challenge. Book with @lhienvirotours or @seatosummitexpeditions and tackle one of Australia’s most iconic hikes. This 14-kilometre return trek takes you up to the summit where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Lord Howe Island and beyond. It’s a physically demanding but incredibly rewarding experience - perfect for those looking to push their limits and soak up some serious natural beauty.

Lord Howe Island has just been crowned as the most beautiful airport landing in the world by @timeoutaustralia. Whether you're arriving or departing, the window seat is always worth it - stunning views are guaranteed. If you're lucky, you might even spot sea turtles swimming in the lagoon!

📷 Thanks to @laura_elyse for capturing and sharing the last light feels on Lord Howe 🌅

Marine sanctuaries on Lord Howe Island show how protecting just 30% of the ocean can allow for 100% of it to thrive.

Thanks to @greenpeaceap and Dean Hiscox from @lhienvirotours, for sharing insights on how marine sanctuaries protect fragile ocean ecosystems and let them flourish.

“If you have the courage and the intent to set these areas aside for total conservation, then the benefits are going to be massive. It will be a longer term gain rather than seeing a whole system crash because it’s overfished.”

#LordHoweIsland is home to a unique and diverse ecosystem, serving as a sanctuary for many rare and endangered species.

To preserve the island's delicate ecosystem, only a limited number of visitors are allowed on Lord Howe Island at any given time. This ensures that the island remains unspoiled and allows visitors to truly connect with nature in a peaceful and serene environment.

Always keep your swimmers on or in your bag when on #LordHoweIsland because a dip in the Lagoon is always a good idea! 💎🤿

Did you know #LordHoweIsland is a premier bird-watching destination with 14 species of seabirds breeding here?

One of the most enchanting is the White Tern, which balances a single egg on a branch. Many breeding sites are near the lagoon in the settlement area, allowing us to witness their incredible journey - from tiny fluffball to dazzling adult - before they take flight to explore the world.

Right now, lots of White Terns are fledging and learning to fly! The best way to help them is by not intervening - nature has it covered and their parents are there to support them. If you're concerned about a baby bird, you can report it to the @lhiboard or DM us or contact the Visitor Centre. Our team will assist with details for qualified handlers.

Happy #LordHoweIsland Discovery Day! 🏝️

Lord Howe Island was discovered on 17th February 1788 by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, Commander of the armed tender of the First Fleet, HMS Supply. Lieutenant Ball was sailing from First Fleet headquarters in Sydney Cove to Norfolk Island, where it was intended to find a second colony.
The Island was named after Lord Howe, who was the First Lord of the Admiralty at the time.
