Tour description
BOOK EARLY! THIS TOUR IS FOR A SMALL GROUP
Lord Howe Island is a timeless pristine paradise less than two hours flying from Sydney and is widely regarded as the most beautiful island in the Pacific. It is one of only four island groups to be inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage list for the significance of its natural beauty. The pace is relaxed but there are plenty of activities and adventures to choose from.
The island is dominated by the twin peaks of Mount Gower at 875 metres and Mount Lidgbird at 777 metres and contains some spectacular bushwalks for the adventurous. The less energetic however will not have to climb too far to enjoy some of the 160 species of flowering plants or 120 species of birds or the giant Banyan trees or famous Kentia palms.
The lagoon is a beautiful expanse of calm turquoise water enclosed by a six kilometre long coral reef on the western side of the island, making it a haven for snorkelers. Colourful tropical and sub tropical fish abound with turtles and other marine life just a few strokes from shore.
Highlights include:
• All corners of the island Bus Tour
• Two hour coral viewing experience with optional snorkel
• Little Island walk and lunch at the golf club
• North Bay turtle and nature tour with lunch
• Chase’n Thyme walk and talk to Clear Place
…and most importantly time to relax or swim on this beautiful island.
Accommodation is at Somerset Apartments

Testimonials
John, you did an amazing job – above and beyond the call of duty, looking after all of us so well.

Dear John Thank you and your team for arranging our Melbourne cup and King Island holiday. I enjoyed everything we did. Top accommodation and delicious meals. Your commentary was excellent. As was the way you looked after us all. King Island was as I anticipated plus the bonus of Michael Hill who made the day very interesting with his great stories and good humour. The meals on King Island were just super. Kerry did a magnificent job as the nicest “mother hen”. She capably looked after her “chickens”, especially this old “rooster”. Kerry made the delay at the Melbourne airport bearable by constantly providing updates and free vouchers. A special thank you to her. I must also mentioned the delightful Debbie. She is an excellent ambassador for your company. A very competent driver. Very pleasant and professional on the phone and in person. From the above, I trust you will appreciate I had a very very good trip. I look forward to again travelling with On Course (of course!) Cheers. Peter. I look forward to again travelling with On Course (of course!).
