Keen walkers and hikers would love this island. Small Mts to climb as well as bush walks through the verdant rainforests. Short distance across island. Bring your main supplies as limited expensive food supplies. Many restaurants still closed. Weather can cause flights to be cancelled. We are not so mobile now and I feel we have left it too late to fully enjoy island. Should have come 10 years ago. Bicycles or walking best ways to get around. Mainly work vehicles on island. Don’t think we’d come again as mobility issues will continue.

Stunningly beautiful and, uniquely, uncrowded. Because of the limitations on visitors (400 maximum at any one time), the most beautiful places never had more than a handful of people, sometimes no one at all. It is so surprising that such an island is part of New South Wales. It feels like a different world. You cannot be disappointed by this island. The only caveat is book your restaurants in advance, especially for the bowling club (which has the best meals on the island!). Like the number of visitors, facilities are limited. They are also expensive. But well worth it. I stayed 3 nights, but I wish I had booked 5.

Certainly a place for adventure. It has everything that we enjoy snorkelling, diving, kayaking, sea trips, hiking and mountain climbing. you need to go with the flow in respect of the weather and just adjust.

A week on Lord Howe was a great experience. What a beautiful, clean, uncrowded place. Great coral viewing; so many birds; wonderful walks. We only had time to explore the north of the island so may head back at a later date.

Relaxing, great for nature lovers and those into outdoor activities, especially based around the beach Plenty of hiking and recreational options, great scenery. Not too hilly for those hiring a bike. The beaches and water are extremely clean and inviting.

Although a bit expensive to get there if you get the opportunity DO IT! A week at least. Loved the swimming and snorkelling from beach. Neds beach has honesty box for equipment. Very reasonable rates. Also did a snorkelling tour and turtle viewing. Missed our fishing trips due to large swell. Saw lots of bird life. Restaurants were reasonably priced. Groceries understandably costly. Fresh bread baked daily. Bike hire reasonable. A special place.
