For the adventure fisherman there are some fantastic choices. The game fisherman will want to troll the waters surrounding the Ribbon Reefs to catch a world record Black Marlin. Sports fishermen can fish with lures and flys for a huge range of pelagic fish including Giant Trevally, Cobia, Spanish mackerel, and many others and those who want to eat their catch will try bottom fishing for some of the worlds best table fish like Red Emporer, Coral Trout and Sweetlip.

Lizard island resort accommodation is in individual cabins which all overlook a fantastic seascape to the islands north. The restaurant and administration complex is superb and the cuisine is of international standard. The resort has several charter vessels which operate dive and fishing trips, as well as jet skis, outboard powered tinnies and paddle craft. Bushwalking is popular and there are many small private beaches to enjoy. At the islands western end is a spectacular, reef enclosed, lagoon. Access to Lizard Island is by air from Cairns, direct to the resort. The weather in the region is tropical so the dry season, from April through to November is the most comfortable and the climate is temperate. It would be hard to find another resort, anywhere in the world, that offers the same comfort and adventure, that you can find on Lizard island.
