Getting to Lady Elliot Island

Access to Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is on small aircraft chartered from Seair Pacific to transport guests to and from the Island. As Lady Elliot Island is the most remote Great Barrier Reef island regularly accessed, boat access is impractical.

Seair has been the provider of aircraft charter to the resort since 1996 and its pilots are very experienced in operating into and out of the grass airstrip which runs the entire length of the island.

Flights can be arranged from Gold Coast, Brisbane, Agnes Water, Bundaberg and Hervey Bay.
