Lord Howe Island The Tahiti of Australia
Deep blue waters, green forested hills and towering peaks standing guard above it all: does it sound like Bora Bora or Gros Piton in St. Lucia (Caribbean)?
Top attractions
Feed the fish at Ned’s Beach
This is a must-do on the island – standing in knee-deep water with swarms of small, colourful fish darting around your legs.
Hike the trails
Lord Howe is covered with awesome hiking trails ranging from super-relaxing to downright gruelling. Panoramic views abound!
Deep sea fishing charters
The fishing around Lord Howe is phenomenal by any standards, and a day out on the water is always an adventure.
Ball’s Pyramid
That tall, formidable-looking spike of rock that juts out of the sea near Lord Howe is called Balls Pyramid. In the past, a few people have climbed it – including Dick Smith, creator of Australian Geographic. These days it’s highly protected, however, because a species of stick insect once thought to be extinct was found to be hanging around out there. These days, you can still take a boat trip out to see it.
