Lizard Island Resort - Great Barrier Reef
Coronavirus Update 30 Aug, 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 14 December, 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
