Known for its tropical beauty and incredible marine biodiversity, Lizard Island offers a haven for nature enthusiasts, anglers and adventure seekers.
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the allure of Lizard Island, provide tips for your circumnavigation, and highlight the breathtaking experiences awaiting you.
The Enchanting Allure of Circumnavigating Lizard Island
Circumnavigating Lizard Island allows you to fully immerse yourself in the splendors of this tropical paradise.
As you travel around the island, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and towering rock faces.
This adventure offers an opportunity to explore hidden coves, waterfalls, witness diverse marine life.
And discover secluded beaches that can only be accessed by boat. Sadly some are covered in rubbish – as you’ll see in the video below.
Planning Your Circumnavigation Adventure
Before embarking on a circumnavigation, first you’ve got to get there.
Of course we travel on our 40 foot vessel Mood Swings, but in good weather you can get there in a smaller (7 metre) boat.
You can find out more about camping on the island from our previous blog post. Or visit the QPWS website. There is also a luxury resort on the island.
Delving into the Great Barrier Reef’s Wonders
Circumnavigating Lizard Island offers a gateway to one of the world’s most remarkable natural wonders—the Great Barrier Reef.
As you explore the surrounding waters, you’ll have the chance to snorkel or dive in vibrant coral gardens teeming with a kaleidoscope of marine life.
Encounter majestic manta rays, playful sea turtles, and an array of colorful fish species, including snorkelling with super friendly coral trout in the Watson’s bay green zone. On a previous trip we swam with a whale shark!
Capture awe-inspiring underwater moments as you explore the underwater paradise.
Discovering Lizard Island’s Hidden Gems
Circumnavigating the island grants you exclusive access to its hidden gems.
Anchor near Watson’s Bay, a snorkeler’s paradise boasting magnificent coral bommies and abundant marine biodiversity.
Take a short hike to Cook’s Look, the island’s highest point, and relish the breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding reef and azure waters.
Uncover secluded beaches where you can relax, swim, and bask in the serenity of nature.

FISH FINDER FUNDAMENTALS
Going remote in a boat is easier if you can catch good eating fish regularly.
Doing so requires a good understanding of your fish finding equipment.
Sounder Skills is only $20 Australian at the moment and well worth a look.
If you don’t learn anything let me know and I’ll give you your money back.
