Lizard Island Resort

Lizard Island, Australia

Lizard Island, Australia, is an absolute tropical paradise located 240km north of Cairns and 93km northeast off the coast of Cooktown. It is a haven of isolation, gratification, and relaxation. In 1770, Captain James Cook first ventured into these uncharted reaches as the last chance for a crew seeking freedom from the beautiful but deadly coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. Named after the abundant goannas, Lizard Island offers the best of the Great Barrier Reef with both inner and outer Reef experiences. The National Park covers over 1000 hectares, featuring 24 pristine beaches, the famous Blue Lagoon, and the impressive Cooks Look at 359 meters. Activities include snorkeling, diving at renowned sites like the 'Cod Hole,' tennis, windsurfing, water-skiing, catamaran sailing, glass bottom boat trips, fishing, bushwalking, and hiking. Visitors can experience the unparalleled marine life and enjoy the exclusive Lizard Island Resort, which offers private rooms overlooking sandy beaches and native gardens. Lizard Island is perfect for diving enthusiasts, with world-class diving opportunities and exciting underwater adventures available.
