Island expedition
Birdwatching
Lord Howe Island is home to over 200 different species of birds. Many are endemic to the island and others are migratory seabirds who choose this sanctuary to breed and nest.
View Details A visit to the Lord Howe Island Museum is an essential part of a stay on the island.
The Museum opens from the Lord Howe Visitors Centre so it’s a perfect place to browse while making tour bookings, getting maps and tips on walks, or while grabbing a coffee or a bite to eat at The Coral Café.
The museum is run by the island’s resident naturalist Ian Hutton, who also operates guided walks and is a keen environmentalist and photographer. Included in the exhibits are relics from the island’s long history and contributions from the community including from the local school kids. The museum offers a great insight to the island’s unique heritage and is the venue for nature talks which are held regularly in the evenings.
