Lord Howe: Where the mountains meet the reefs 💙🪸💚

The reefs surrounding Lord Howe Island are the southernmost coral reefs in the world and home to the only fringing coral reef lagoon in @visitnsw. All the surrounding waters are protected within the Lord Howe Island Marine Park, established in 1999.

World Heritage-listed Lord Howe Island sits 600km east of mainland Australia… yet it often feels like it’s out of this world 🌏✨

Lord Howe Island’s Lagoon: One of the world’s most stunning natural playgrounds 🤿🪸✨

Sheltered and calm, Lagoon Beach near the "CBD" is the perfect spot for families to paddleboard, kayak, or snorkel straight off the beach around the rocks. Kids (and adults!) will love jumping from the pontoon and exploring the crystal-clear shallows.

Stay close to the action in one of the Island’s family-friendly guesthouses. Blue Lagoon Lodge puts you just minutes from restaurants, shops, tours and the pontoon at Lagoon Beach 💠

Protected by the world’s southernmost coral reef, Lord Howe Island boasts thriving marine life and pristine waters untouched by commercial fishing. Only a handful of locals cast lines here, making it a truly unique and unspoiled fishing destination.

All tours are run aboard Lulawai, a custom-built cabin cruiser with deep roots on Lord Howe Island. Built right here in 1968, she’s a true part of Island history 🐟🏝️
