Lizard island is a wonderful place to visit. It is still pretty much pristine and untouched by humans. The beaches are magnificent the snorkeling is amazing. The nation park has sign posted various walking trails so you can explore and find the best sites. There is a resort you can stay at but I believe it pricey, camping options are available and also day trips. I flew in with Dantree Air who were great. Snorkeling is best when winds are from the SE. If winds are from the north stingers will most likely be present. Black tip reef sharks frequently swim close to you however are much too small to be dangerous. The coral reefs are only about 30 meters from the shore and are beautiful. As this place is so isolated you may find that you have the whole place to yourself.
