A Turtle Spectacle on Lady Elliot Island

To say we're a little excited about running these trips is an understatement! It has taken us 18 months to secure availability at Lady Elliot Island and it is all happening in March 2023. These trips will be released to the public later this week, but you have the opportunity to secure a spot first…

At the end of the nesting season thousands of baby turtles push through their sand nest on their way to the sea. Ever wanted to experience this wonder of nature?

Located within a highly protected ‘Green Zone’, Lady Elliot Island is a wildlife paradise and regarded as one of the best snorkelling destinations on the Great Barrier Reef. Join our upcoming adventures to Lady Elliot Island with Master Reef guide Jacinta Shackleton or photographer Mark Fitz.
