Tour description
Lord Howe Island is a place of rare, untouched beauty — a peaceful Pacific paradise less than two hours from Sydney. Celebrated as one of only four island groups in the world recognised by UNESCO for exceptional natural significance, it offers towering mountain peaks, lush subtropical forests and a crystal-clear lagoon protected by the world’s southernmost coral reef. Whether you prefer gentle strolls beneath giant banyan trees and Kentia palms, or more adventurous walks with magnificent views, the island rewards travellers with quiet moments, abundant birdlife and scenery that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Surrounded by calm turquoise waters, Lord Howe’s lagoon is a haven for snorkellers, with colourful fish, friendly turtles and vibrant coral gardens just metres from shore. Throughout the week you’ll enjoy inspiring guided walks, coral viewing cruises, nature tours and time to explore the island at your own pace. With comfortable accommodation, delicious meals and all the care you expect from OCT, this is a wonderfully relaxed holiday where the biggest decision of the day might simply be whether to swim, wander or unwind in the sunshine.

Testimonials
Dear John and Kerry, Debbie and Steve, thank you all so much at On Course Tours for the hugely successful and absolutely wonderful trip to South Australia. Tricia and I loved every moment and were amazed and delighted by how much South Australia has to offer in so very many ways, food especially and of course very many superb wines and wineries – topped off, as John rightly said, by Max’s selection of a delightful crowd of good club friends! John, you and On Course Tours are certainly a class act. You always try very hard, and you succeed, in going that ‘extra mile’. We could not have had better service, right from being picked up at the gate by Kerry, then enjoying your nearly 4,000km of safe, always careful but wonderfully exploratory driving, your delicious picnic provisioning, your excellent selection of accommodation and eateries and your very broad knowledge of all we saw, right thorough to being delivered safely home last night. With our best wishes and so many thanks to you all at On Course Tours for another truly wonderful holiday. We look forward with keen anticipation to the next!

Hi Kerry Great trip as usual in the Alps. Hans was able to secure 2nd spot on the bus line and we were away very quickly leaving lines of buses behind us. The motel was excellent and the food service the quality A1. The chap in charge of the Bar and foor service, lan, was most attentive and with the help of Hans did a wonderful job of keeping everyone happy. The escorted Tour of Albury by Allan was one of the best I have encountered. The Hibernian Hotel was ‘spot on’, the hotel was spacious and the food perfect. The Red Stag Deer Farm was without doubt one of the highlights of the trip. The complex looks over the valley with sweeping views. The owners gave a very informative and entertaining talk and we really could have stayed longer. I believe it would be an ideal venue for a bit of variety to say have morning tea at Bright and then go to the Red Stag for Iunch and a talk by them. They did well out of the bus with people buying lots of their products. Most of the people on the bus have done the same Bright trip previously in one form or another and the inclusion of this I feel would draw other ‘past’ travellers to do the same trip again. I know I can speak for everyone, it was a top trip.
