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
Hi Debbie, I must say that the tour was well constructed with lots of places to check out. But surprisingly there was enough time allocated to do all the features mentioned in the brochure. I didn’t feel rushed at any point. The accommodation was A1 and you put on delightful meals. I’m looking forward to my next tour with ‘On Course’ in November. I must make comment about our driver ‘Peter’. Very personable and easy going, nothing seemed to faze him. He is a true professional driver / tour director. I look forward to having him on future tours. Yes, I will be a repeat customer! Also the pickup / drop off at North Sydney station works.
Kindest Regards, Mark
Debbie and staff, home two days from our “Gold West Explorer Trip”. We enjoyed everything about the trip, always so good to get out to the country, although we wish could send them some Rain. Peter did an excellent job, very pleasant organised and with so much information to give. Things went very smoothly. The motels were chosen well, meals varied and very good indeed. So bouquet to On Course and Peter for a great trip. We have been with you before and no doubt will do so again.
