Day 2 Monday 9th November 2026 BD
Today we start with a refreshing introductory bus trip on what to do on Lord Howe, where to go and how to do it. Learn everything about the island there is to know. Lord Howe’s first reported sighting was in 1988
from a vessel of the first fleet, HMS Supply, as it was en-route to Botany Bay. The island since became a hub for the whaling industry and now days the abundance of palm tree based products and tourism is the primary industry. Our holiday here and other tourists play a key role in what keeps the island alive and thriving.

Enjoy this morning at your leisure. You may choose to go to Ned’s beach to feed the fish that are so friendly they swim right around your ankles. There are local stalls that have been selling fish food to tourists for many years the fish have become accustomed to us! This afternoon we get to relax on a cruise that will enable us to enjoy the breathtaking views all around the Island including the spectacular image of Balls Pyramid creeping up in the distance and sheer mountain cliffs. During part of the cruise we will approach the ‘Admiralty Islands’ which are home to a large percentage of the Island’s bird population. This evening is movie night! We will meet at the community Hall for historical movies. We will enjoy a showing of three short historical movies from the flying boat days.

Today’s agenda will see us back on the water, where instead of looking up at the birds and mountain cliffs we will be looking down into the corals!
