Why Meghan's Trip?

At the end of the nesting season thousands of baby turtles push through their sand nest on their way to the sea. Want to experience this wonder of nature?

Located within a highly protected ‘Green Zone’, Lady Elliot Island is a wildlife paradise and regarded as one of the best snorkelling destinations on the Great Barrier Reef. Swim with turtles by day, witness the magical turtle hatching season at night.

Learn incredible Underwater Photography skills from Mark, while you're surrounded by the crystal clear blue waters of Lady Elliot Island. You will stay at the world-famous Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, one of Australia's finest examples of an eco-tourism resort.
