Lord Howe Island

A place of extraordinary contrasts with its rugged volcanic peaks, verdant rainforests, white sandy beaches, rolling surf and tranquil lagoon, Lord Howe Island is encircled by the southern-most coral reef in the world and became one of the first three islands worldwide to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Only 280 people call the island home and to preserve Lord Howe’s unique and precious natural environment, visitor numbers are restricted to 400 at any one time.

Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, 440 miles north-east of Sydney, Lord Howe Island is less than 2 hours’ flight time from Sydney or Brisbane.

Get in Touch

We traveled to New Zealand this year for a great adventure exploring the country. This trip was 4 years in the making due to the Covid pandemic. We booked in 2019 with Esplanade and they planned a fantastic trip. The Esplanade team worked with us seamlessly over the years as we booked and Covid cancelled our trip at least 3 times. When we finally were able to travel in 2023, they had everything perfect. We were really expecting a lot of confusion due to the multiple bookings and cancellations, but Esplanade had everything perfect at every turn. The accommodations, excursions, transfers, etc. were all planned even better than we could have imagined. We highly recommend Esplanade Travel and will be using them again on our next adventure.
