Key Attractions
  • Erscott’s Hole The Lord Howe Island glass bottom boat tour is all about showing off the lagoon’s coolest spots. Erscott’s Hole is a fan favorite; think gardens of branching coral and fish with wild patterns swimming right under your Lord Howe Island glass bottom boat. Then there’s Erscott’s Reef, where the coral gets thick and colorful, and you might spot a turtle gliding by.
  • Comets Hole and Horseshoe Comets Hole is a secret hideout with its deep waters and shy critters like rock lobsters. And the Horseshoe? It’s a chill, shallow spot where the corals glow in neon shades and butterflyfish dart around ideal for beginners trying out Lord Howe Island lagoon snorkeling. Every stop has something different to catch your eye.
  • Glass bottom boat experienceAs you step onto your Lord Howe Island glass bottom boat hire, the sun’s shining, and the water’s so clear you can see straight to the bottom. The boat’s got a glass floor, so you’re basically floating over a living aquarium, fish zipping around, corals waving, and maybe a stingray doing its slow dance.
  • Marine lifeThe crew knows their stuff and will point out the quirky sea life, like that odd-looking double-header wrasse or a turtle popping up to say hi. If you go for Lord Howe Island lagoon snorkeling, you’ll feel the cool water and hear nothing but your own breathing as you swim among the fish. It’s relaxed, easygoing, and totally unforgettable whether you’re in the water or just watching from the boat.
  • Lagoon Viewing Zones The tour travels across sections of the lagoon where clear water allows visibility of coral, sandy patches, and reef fish through the glass panels. These areas represent common features of Lord Howe Island lagoon snorkeling environments.
  • Coral Formations Under the boat, guests may observe coral blocks and natural reef structures. These formations create habitats for small marine species and provide a general understanding of the lagoon’s underwater features.
