Travellers are being urged to take scuba diving holidays at Lizard Island, a Great Barrier Reef resort off the coast of Queensland made up of crystal clear waters, shallow coral gardens, white sand beaches and an array of spectacular marine life.
Tourists seeking scuba diving holidays are being urged to visit Lizard Island, off the coast of Queensland, Australia, for its pristine white beaches and crystal clear waters full of coral gardens and marine life.
Lizard Island was highlighted in the recent Lonely Planet Awards and swimming in the area was voted as the greatest outdoor experience.
Author of Lonely Planet's Queensland and Great Barrier Reef guide, Paul Harding, said: "While parts of the reef can sometimes seem a little crowded, Lizard Island is a wonderful exception.
"This, and the surrounding chain of islands, is one of those rare places that makes you sit down and think "wow". Powdery white beaches, warm turquoise waters, tropical sensuality; all without the crowds."
Travellers can enjoy scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef on Lizard Island where they will experience close encounters with sea turtles, friendly sharks, stingrays, and numerous species of fish including colourful clown fish. The island is home to 24 beautiful unspoilt white sand beaches, sparkling clear waters and coral reefs and shallow coral gardens.
The idyllic island is perfect for scuba diving holidays or for more qualified diving enthusiasts looking for unique diving in Australia.
The island is also home to the luxury Lizard Island resort which features 40 luxurious suites comprising air conditioning, CD player with iPod connection, private balconies, hammocks, private plunge pools and elegant furnishings.
The resort features Ospreys restaurant with seafood dishes and daily menus of Asian, Australian and European cuisine, and luxury traditional treatments with natural invigorating products at the Azure Spa.
Guests on scuba diving holidays can enjoy a range of complimentary activities during their stay including catamaran cruises, paddle ski tours, tennis, motorised dinghies, snorkelling equipment and instruction and glass bottom boat tours.
Lizard Island offers the perfect escape away from everyday life and with no mobile phone coverage, travellers are forced to relax and enjoy themselves in a little slice of diving paradise.
