Eco tourism at its best, the volcanic outcrop of Lord Howe Island is Australia’s answer to the Galapagos. Designated a Unesco World Heritage Site on account of its rare birds, plants and marine life, it also boasts the world’s southernmost coral reef, a tropical anomaly maintained by warm currents from the Great Barrier Reef. With its immaculate white beaches, rainforest clad mountain slopes and idyllic lagoon, this tiny crescent shaped island is a heavenly refuge. Excellent diving and snorkelling, fascinating guided bush walks, fishing and several other eco friendly activities are available to a controlled number of visitors, keeping the island pristine and the atmosphere wonderfully relaxed.
