About Lord Howe Island
Lord Howe Island is a World Heritage-listed paradise that's located off the North Coast of NSW. It's less than two hours' flight from Brisbane or Sydney.
At any one time, you'll be one of only 400 visitors on this beautiful Pacific Ocean island. A holiday here is relaxing and unhurried, with bicycles the best way to get around and no mobile phone reception.
World Heritage-listed for its remarkable geology and rare collection of birds, plants and marine life, Lord Howe is surrounded by the world's southernmost coral reef. Don't miss the Lord Howe Island Hand Feeding Fish attraction. Crystal clear waters teem with marine life and rare coral, protected as part of the Lord Howe Island Marine Park. There's a whole host of water-based activities on the island. A good place to start your holiday is with a visit to the Lord Howe Island Museum and Visitor Centre.
