Lady Musgrave Island is a coral cay at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef popular with day trippers who embark on cruise boats from Bundaberg or the Town of 1770. It is the only coral island with a navigable lagoon and this is the perfect location for coral viewing from a glass bottom boat, a semi submersible or by snorkelling. The fish feeding from the deck of the pontoon provides the opportunity for some great photographs. An alternative method of getting to the island is the seaplane which can land on the lagoon. It leaves from the Burnett River in Bundaberg.

Scuba diving is offered on some cruises and it is essential to bring your scuba qualification card. The dives are supervised by qualified divers who will take groups to sites outside the lagoon to see beautiful coral gardens and spectacular wall dives. Lady Musgrave Island is a National Park with no facilities but camping is permitted for a maximum of 50 people at a time. Campers must bring their own drinking water and food.

In summer turtles can be seen in the evening coming ashore to lay their eggs and later in the season the hatchlings will scurry back to the water. Birdwatchers can study the thousands of seabirds which nest on the uninhabited island.
