The Island  
Lady Elliot Island is a Coral Cay of 42 Hectares (100 acres) in area with a low key 49 room resort. The island has its own airstrip which is
located on the eastern side and serviced daily by Whitaker Air Charter. Lady Elliot Island (also known as 'The Lazy Lady' )is a true Coral
Cay which has evolved over thousands of years and is an important sea-bird and turtle rookery site. Whales can also be seen passing by
from June to October.
Guest numbers are limited on the island and this allows first hand experiences of nesting birds - some 50 species including the unique
Red Tailed Tropic Birds. Green and loggerhead turtles come ashore between November and March and lay their eggs and after the
incubation period - normally eight weeks - gives you the unique opportunity to see the turtles hatchlings scurrying to the ocean.
