lady elliot island day trip from bundaberg

The Day Trips/Tours to Lady Elliot Island offer a great opportunity for domestic or international visitors with limited time to explore Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Lady Elliot Island is located on the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef, 80km north-east of Bundaberg, just to the north of Fraser Island. Although we do recommend a minimum of 2 nights on Lady Elliot Island to truly experience this unique Island paradise, the Day Trips/Tours will allow visitors to experience one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World from the air, land and water… all in one day!

Being a coral cay, Lady Elliot Island is actually part of the Great Barrier Reef and is regarded as one of the best snorkelling destinations on the reef with an amazing array of colourful marine life. Day trips to Lady Elliot Island include return scenic flights to the Island, orientation tour, a glass bottom boat/guided snorkelling tour, snorkel equipment (mask, snorkel & fins), full use of day guest facilities, a hot and cold buffet lunch and an afternoon of snorkelling, leisure or joining our experienced guides for a guided activity/tour.

There are a few islands in Australia I’d really recommend visiting, and this happens to be one of them. Lady Elliot Island is a once in a lifetime experience, and if you’re short on time, it’s totally possible to do it all in a day!

Other islands in Australia I’d recommend:

• Heron Island
• Fitzroy Island
• Kgari (Fraser) Island
• Moreton Island
• North Stradbroke Island

Let’s dive into an ‘all you need to know’ post on your Lady Elliot Island day trip.

Where is Lady Elliot Island?

Lady Elliot Island, a pristine coral cay, is part of the southern Great Barrier Reef. Nestled in the waters of Queensland, Australia, it offers an unspoiled sanctuary for travelers seeking an immersive encounter with nature. When I say immersive, I mean it!

Think manta rays, turtles, fish, reef sharks, dolphins, marine birds and much, much more!

With its crystal-clear waters, diverse marine life, and vibrant coral formations, Lady Elliot Island is a haven for snorkelers, divers, and nature enthusiasts.

Brief History and Features of the Island

• Lady Elliot Island emerged from the sea about 3,500 years ago when seabirds brought guano and seeds, kickstarting its vegetation.
• Guano miners arrived in 1863 but damaged the island, leaving only eight Pisonia trees near the bistro. They removed around 3 feet of topsoil.
• In 1969, aviator Mr. Don Adams started a reforestation project using native plants, turning Lady Elliot into a wildlife sanctuary with a now diverse seabird population – the 2nd largest on the Great Barrier Reef.
• The Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort was established in 1984, making a huge commitment to a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to tourism ever since.
• The island is environmentally significant due to its importance for nesting loggerhead and green sea turtles, as well as the 1200 other marine species that inhabit the island and the surrounding waters.

How to Get to Lady Elliot Island

Reaching this remote paradise is easier than you might think. You can access Lady Elliot Island via a scenic flight from Hervey Bay , Bundaberg or Brisbane (Redcliffe) .

These flights offer breathtaking aerial views of the Great Barrier Reef and its sparkling waters. After landing, the island’s eco-friendly infrastructure ensures that you leave a minimal carbon footprint during your visit.

What is the Best Time to Visit Lady Elliot Island?

The best time to plan your Lady Elliot Island day trip depends on your preferences. However, to witness the island’s rich marine life, the period between November and March is ideal. During this time, you can observe turtles nesting and their hatchlings making their way to the sea. Keep in mind that weather conditions are more unpredictable during these months.

If you prefer calm seas and milder temperatures, plan your visit between May and October. The waters are perfect for snorkeling and diving during this period, and the weather is generally more stable.

Remember, the Great Barrier Reef offers different experiences throughout the year, so choose a time that aligns with your interests.

Researchers revise epicentre of 1918 earthquake thought to have struck at sea near Bundaberg

Re-evaluating data and reports of historical earthquakes has led researchers to move the recorded epicentre Queensland's largest earthquake 250km onshore.

They found 1918 seismology reports had been "misinterpreted", leading to an incorrect understanding of the epicentre.

What's next?

One researcher warns Australia has the potential for more large earthquakes on land and says accurate historical data will help build a picture of an area's seismic hazard.

More than 100 years on from Queensland's largest earthquake, researchers are re-writing history having discovered the epicentre was more than 250 kilometres away from where they thought it was.

The 1918 earthquake, commonly called the Bundaberg Earthquake, was believed to have hit off Lady Elliot Island, north east of Bundaberg.

The magnitude-6.0 earthquake was felt across more than 3 million square kilometres, from northern New South Wales to Mackay and inland to Roma.

Stacey Martin, a PhD student at the Australian National University in Canberra, has been researching historical earthquakes.

"In Australia, we only have good instrumentation from about the 1960s, so prior to that, we don't really know much about where these earthquakes might have been centred and how big they were," Mr Martin said.

In a study published in July by the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Mr Martin reviewed newspaper articles, recorded accounts and macro seismic data from 224 geographic locations to conclude the epicentre was 250km inland.

He said it was near the Coominglah State Forest around Monto in the North Burnett, 470km north of Brisbane.

"There's been a lot of work done to study historical earthquakes in the past, but with modern techniques it's always important to go back and double check them and make sure they're correct," he said.

From sea to land

Mr Martin was surprised early on in his research to find evidence from newspaper reports that suggested shaking could have been particularly strong at inland sites like Camboon in the Banana shire, 300km inland from Bundaberg.

The personal papers of Francis Bell, the then-owner of Camboon Station, described not being able to stand up during the earthquake.

"He also talks about aftershocks," Mr Martin said.

"This is quite unusual for an earthquake that's very strongly felt at an inland location, with aftershocks, where the actually instrumented epicentre is offshore."

Keen to delve deeper, Mr Martin looked at the seismogram, the record produced by the seismograph, from Riverview College Observatory in Sydney, the only station to record the earthquake in Australia.

He found the results were "misinterpreted".

"They assumed the earthquake was at a distance of about 1,200km from Sydney, and for the longest time no-one questioned that," he said.

Correspondence from one of Queensland's pre-eminent geologists, Walter Bryan, showed while he was studying a 1935 earthquake, Mr Bryan suggested the 1918 earthquake be re-evaluated.

"It turned out even the observatory personnel started to suspect the seismograms had been misinterpreted in 1918, but they didn't change them," Mr Martin said.

"We had another look at them and found the earthquake wasn't 1,200km away, but now it was 900km away from Sydney.

"That was really a big 'a-ha' moment, because that distance not only coincided with the distance to Camboon, but it also coincided with the region that experienced a lot of aftershocks, which now coincided with where the epicentre really should be."

Seismic hazard risk needs to be accurate

Coominglah is only 185km north west of Gayndah, the site of Queensland's second largest earthquake in 1935, which measured a magnitude of 5.5.

It's also only 106km north west of Eidsvold, which recorded a 5.2-magnitude earthquake in 2015 .

That event was Queensland's most recent notable earthquake, with aftershocks recorded four years later.

Mr Martin said changing the epicentre of the 1918 earthquake helped show the region's seismicity.

"What it tells us is this is a region that can have big earthquakes, so this information is really helpful to understand what could happen in the future," he said.

"When you plan, and make emergency plans as you would for bushfire, or floods, or cyclones, you might want to consider earthquakes as well."

Seismologist Michael Turnbull has been studying earthquakes for more than two decades, establishing the Central Queensland Seismology Research Group at Central Queensland University in 2002.

He said for a long time seismologists just accepted the ocean location, but agreed an onshore earthquake was far more likely, with "uncountable numbers" of very small earthquake fault lines in the area.

Mr Turnbull said having accurate data on earthquakes, including historical ones, was especially important as Australia's population grew.

"As time progresses, and population gets denser, and particularly as industry develops in an area, it's very important to know what the actual hazard is from earthquakes," Mr Turnbull said.

"For instance, let's just say we're going to build a gas-fired power plant or electrical plant somewhere, we need to know what the actual hazard from earthquakes is going to be.

"If we now have information, good scientific information coming that this 1918 earthquake actually occurred onshore somewhere, that increases the hazard we have."

Australia at risk of large earthquakes

Mr Martin said Australians should not be complacent about earthquake risks.

On average, 100 earthquakes above magnitude 3 are recorded in Australia each year, with destructive earthquakes, like the one that hit Newcastle in 1989 , happening every one to two years.

"Most of Australia's recent very large earthquakes have either been in the middle of the desert, like Tennant Creek in 1988, or they've been offshore like the Broome earthquake in 2019," he said.

"There is potential for large earthquakes on land and onshore, and possibly even in regions of the country that are populated.

"I think we've just been through a really good run of luck and I personally hope that run of luck continues."
