Lizard Island Resort - Great Barrier Reef

Coronavirus Update 1 June, 2020

In an important update regarding our plans to reopen Lizard Island, on Queensland's pristine World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, we have had to amend the resort's opening date.

The Queensland Government advised that its State borders are to remain closed until a date in September, 2020 in response to the current Coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic. The government's stance has significant flow-on effects for domestic commercial air capacity making access to the Cairns extremely difficult.

With the current restrictions in place coupled with the biosecurity restrictions around travel to Cape York in the State's north, Lizard Island will now reopen 1 September, 2020.

We would like to encourage guests currently holding bookings in the Australian winter to consider transferring their bookings to Spring and beyond. This time of year at Lizard Island is idyllic, with land and sea temperatures resting in the easy mid-20C/77F degrees range.

The luxury specialist Lizard Island team is on hand to offer further planning, advice and assistance with bookings from September onwards. Please feel free to phone the team on 1800 837 204 from within Australia or email on
Luxury-aus@delawarenorth.com. For further information on the Australian travel restrictions, please visit: www.health.gov.au and for updates on Queensland's measures visit: www.qld.gov.au

We look forward to seeing you soon!

As the northern most resort on the Great Barrier Reef, and a luxury lodge of Australia, Lizard Island is truly secluded from the rest of the world. This is just one wonderful Lizard Island fact that makes it like nowhere else. The hour flight from Cairns allows you to take in the true majesty and scale of the reef, and the resort is literally on the reef - no long boat rides are needed to enjoy one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
