Return to Lord Howe Island

Kayaking, scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, reef walking, surfing and swimming are all available at Lord Howe Island.

Kayaking in the Lagoon offers an opportunity to explore 6km of beaches and bays, while snorkelling and scuba diving reveal a colourful underwater world full of reef fish, corals, underwater caves and volcanic drop-offs.

Glass bottom boat trips in the lagoon take in deep coral holes and allow access to the colourful underwater world without getting wet, and if fishing is your fancy, there are tour operators that offer deep sea, reef, and fly fishing.

For surfing, the breaks 1km offshore on the coral reef bordering the lagoon are the best, though weather conditions affect the quality of the surf, however, body and board surfing are a popular activity at Blinky Beach.

Hire services on the Island cover most of the equipment that may be needed. For more information on the above activities and equipment needed, please contact Lord Howe Island Visitors Centre.
