Lady Musgrave Island welcomes you to one of the gems of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The island is a tropical paradise 14 ha (35 acres) in size - small enough to walk around it in 45 minutes. The climatic conditions vary little with 21 deg. C in winter to 30 deg. C in summer. A pisonia forest is a feature in the island's centre which plays host to a great variety of birds. Green and Loggerhead turtles nest on the island between the months of October and February. The hatchlings emerge 8 to 12 weeks later. Turtles are seen swimming in the lagoon all year round. At anytime of the day visitors can walk straight from the beach into the crystal clear water of a protected coral lagoon. The lagoon of Lady Musgrave Island is unique to the Great Barrier Reef. It is formed by a huge - 8 nautical miles - circle of coral wall which protects the inner lagoon. Our fast catamaran, the MV Spirit of 1770, enters the calm waters of the lagoon through a channel in the reef wall and moors in clear shallow waters only 200 metres from Lady Musgrave Island. In this protected haven snorkellers of all age groups can explore the wonders of a living reef ecosystem - all in one great day! Please bring  sun protection items, swim wear and a pair of sand shoes Free Call: 1-800-63-1770 E-Mail: info@1770reefcruises.com
