The Island
Lady Elliot Island is a Coral Cay of 42 Hectares (100 acres) in area with a low key 49 room resort situated on the Great Barrier Reef. The island has its own airstrip which is located on the eastern side and serviced daily by Whitaker Air Charter.

Lady Elliot Island (also known as 'The Lazy Lady') is a true Coral Cay which has evolved over thousands of years and is an important sea-bird and turtle rookery site. Whales can also be seen passing by from June to October.

Guest numbers are limited on the island and this allows first hand experiences of nesting birds - some 50 species including the unique Red Tailed Tropic Birds. Green and loggerhead turtles come ashore between November and March and lay their eggs and after the incubation period - normally eight weeks - gives you the unique opportunity to see the turtles hatchlings scurrying to the ocean.

You will experience the true Great Barrier Reef on Lady Elliot Island.

Fuel Levy

All activities are subject to weather & tide conditions.

Due to the significant increase in world oil prices since early 2004, Australia has seen substantial increases in the price of fuel. To be able to continually offer the same level of safety and service without significant fare increases, Seair, who carry Lady Elliot Island guests to and from the Resort has found it necessary to implement a fuel levy system which has to be passed on to the guests. The levy will be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the relationship between oil prices and the amount of the levy is kept at a fair and equitable level.
