Tour description
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 (875m) and Mt Lidgbird (777m) 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.

Testimonials
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.
Regards, Ian
Just a note of thanks for the excellent job Hans did yesterday. All of our group had a wonderful day and the Camden Valley Inn was a great venue. The staff there were very efficient and the meal portions just right for all. A most enjoyable day and thanks again. We did have one poor soul sleep in and so we numbered 37. Looking forward to our next tour with On Course in July.
