We just got back from our overnight stay with Lady Musgrave Experience and it was the most incredible weekend.
It was breathtakingly beautiful and service was EXCEPTIONAL. All of the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable - special mention to Lea, Ashleigh, Jake, Aemon and Bella who were all so lovely.
There are so many different activities available for everyone. We spent the two days snorkelling and diving but thoroughly enjoyed the island & glass bottom boat tour.
We will definitely be back in the future. 10/10 recommend

I highly recommend the tours offered by Lady Musgrave Experience to people of all ages. The boat ride although it is a long 2-2.5 hour journey each way, was incredibly easy and I took Travacalm tablets 30 min prior to boarding on their recommendation.
I did the Manta Safari which is geared for people who can swim out in open ocean, it was a clear day and we spotted the mantas which was a real unique treat for us who'd never seen them in the wild before. The island walking tour and the glass bottom boat tour was interesting and informative. While snorkelling a short distance from the pontoon we spotted turtles and even the resident octopus named by the locals "Octavia".
It was a little chilly in the water, definitely bring a steamer/full body length wetsuit (I wore a 3mm) if you get easily cold as my partner and I tend to. We enjoyed an amazing clear sky blue day with little wind which is not what I expected for mid-late August.
The team are wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable and I felt that we had received great value for money with their experience in navigating the reefs. Shout out to Alex and Emma who were really warm, attentive and happy to answer any questions. They are also happy to take photos which my partner and I happily took advantage of.
The lunch buffet (salad and some hot foods) and morn/afternoon teas were great, lots of variety and great for the health conscious. If you're vegetarian though, perhaps pack some extra protein snacks (eggs, protein bars or smoothie) as there are not really high protein offers for vegetarians in the buffet.
Thanks so much again for a magical experience LME team - we wish to be back someday again for the other tours.

What an adventure for our first time whale watching.
A little disappointed that the weather wasn’t the best which is typical when we book an exciting tour! I can imagine how amazing this tour would be with a beautiful blue sky.
Nonetheless our adventure was spectacular. A juvenile male whale entertained us for over an hour. He loved the attention ❤️
The crew were amazing especially Grace. Thank you 🙏 for helping me around the deck when it was choppy. Your morning tea and lunch were beautiful. Yum 😋 thank you to our captain for such informative narratives. We can’t wait to return on a sunny day 🥳

Fantastic experience! The weather was perfect, the staff were knowledgeable, helpful and incredibly friendly. We encountered our first two whales within a very short distance from shore, and were able to take great photos. Once we moved further out, we encountered several more pods of whales, that came up to the boat and played. We also saw a couple of dolphins, just for good measure. Thoroughly enjoyable, and well worth the trip!

I went on this tour a couple of days ago and it was fantastic! The walking tour around the island, the glass-bottom boat, and the snorkelling were all incredible experiences. I also went on the Manta Ray safari, which was at an extra cost, in which you go to the outer reef to snorkel and see Manta Rays; while it was nice and we saw some, I didn’t have much time left for snorkeling around the inner reef, which I actually found to be much prettier. The highlight of the whole day though was being able to chat with Bella, the marine biologist who took us on the island tour and was always happy to answer all my questions. She is incredibly knowledgable and made the experience much more enjoyable! The whole team was also very nice and helpful, and always made sure you were comfortable. I highly recommend this.

We went out for the day yesterday with the Lady Musgrave Experience team, and it was one of the best marine experiences yet. We've been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in the ocean, and this tour has been our favourite so far. The organisation, the wildlife, the reef... It's incredibly special. Your entire team yesterday are assets to your business. The passion and excitement that Bella brought to the island walk and just general conversation around the wildlife was so engaging and fun. We got insanely lucky to spend what felt like 40 minutes or so in the water just hanging out with a beautiful manta. I'm so sorry because we forgot to write down the names of the two guys who took us on the manta safari, but you were both phenomenal. Seeing you free dive down—pictured—made us want to ditch the dive tanks next time we schedule a dive and finally learn to free dive!
The respect you all give to keeping the experience on the wildlife's terms was what really stood out for us, and the spectacular natural beauty that is only possible because of that ongoing respect. Thanks, legends!
My favourite moment was jumping in to snorkel the lagoon and gliding beside a Hawksbill Turtle for a moment! I'll remember that forever.
Can't recommend this tour and this team enough. If you're wanting to go out on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, these guys will make sure you have the experience of a lifetime. We will be back for sure!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a full day out snorkeling at Lady Musgrave Island, and it was truly an incredible experience! From start to finish, the staff were attentive and dedicated to ensuring we had a memorable day.
We opted for the VIP upgrade, which was absolutely worth it. We were treated to a delightful morning tea and an afternoon cheeseboard, along with complimentary water bottles and travel mugs for our coffee. The tour of Lady Musgrave Island was both beautiful and informative.
In addition to snorkeling, we enjoyed a fantastic bottom boat tour, which offered great views of the marine life. We were lucky enough to see turtles and a variety of sea creatures, making the day even more special.
The entire experience was well organised, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, the Lady Musgrave Experience is a must!

Fantastic experience - from start to finish! We were blessed with a beautiful, calm day. We saw dolphins and a humpback whale on our way to the island. All the crew were very knowledgeable and attentive, checking in regularly to make sure we were feeling ok. Shout outs to Steven and Nathan, who spent some time chatting with us and sharing their extensive knowledge about the Reef. Meals were great, island tour was very intriguing. Glass bottom boat tour was fascinating seeing the varieties of coral and sea life. I tried snorkelling for the first time, felt very safe and supported. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

An amazing excursion to a very Special place. Everything ist very well organized and even If Lots of people are booked on the tour it does Not feel Like it because Not everybody does the same Thing at the same time. We have Seen so much Wildlife. Especially the turtles were Just stunning to Look at. I have done the day Tour with my Family and it is great for children. Staying over night must be Just magical.
Just one important information: Take Something against sea sickness. I never Had problems before but getting there was Not a good experience for me. It all was worth it though and with some pills getting Back to Bundaberg was very nice, too.

I celebrated my birthday weekend with Lady Musgrave Experience. On the day I snorkeled with Mantas which is one of the best experiences of my life (thank you Nathan for throwing me a pink pool noodle when I got a cramp). I spent the entire day in the water looking at the most breathtaking sea life. I came back the next day to look at whales and saw SO MANY including a baby humpback with the mum. I returned AGAIN the day after for ANOTHER snorkel with the Mantas (couldn't help myself) and went diving for the first time. Thank you Alberto for calming me down when I panicked a bit. Your professionalism and guidance made me see the beautiful sea life of the lagoon from the bottom.
I absolutely adored my trip ; thank you Poppy, Sophie, Steven, Alberto, Tracy, and Nathan; you saw my face three days in a row and made me feel so welcome and taken care of. I haven't yet gone onto the island yet - the mantas were too important - but I cannot wait to return to see Turtle hatching season and possibly stay on the pontoon.
Thank you so much for making this trip so memorable. I highly recommend booking all the adventures. I will return.

What some may assume is an expensive day trip to the Great barrier Reef island, Lady Musgrave is far from it. Absolutely fantastic day out. Even with a big ocean swell, if you love being on the ocean make sure you follow the pre advice provided from the crew days before the outing. I love the ocean and have never experienced sea sickness, but I still took their strong advice on taking the medication as did my wife who does experience sea sickness, we made it through no worries.
From the initial booking to the follow up email before departure and of course the outing itself, I could not fault the happy, professional and enthusiastic crew. The food for the day was an excellent buffet style with plenty to go around. Big thumbs up to Jade the tour manager. Thank you for your informative introduction to the island or should I say Cay as that is the official name of a coral formed island.
I highly recommend booking this trip.

We look forward to seeing you on your return journey. When you are ready please speak to the office about Club LME, which offers fantastic rewards for return guests and do have a look into the seasons for camping, the island has exclusion dates during turtle nesting and hatching season. We do overnights during this time and its a pure joy to see the hatchlings.

If you're thinking about booking on to dive at Lady Musgrave, I absolutely recommend it with this group.
I called up to get an idea of conditions & spoke to Alita, who's excitement & friendly manor really pushed me to book on.
I'm travelling alone, & the whole experience was fantastic. All the staff were amazing, particularly the dive instructor, Alberto! We saw a bunch of Manta Rays on the first dive, had amazing viz, a reef shark, turtles, mantis shrimp.. so much more. PLus also had time for a really beautiful snorkel when we got back to the pontoon after the two dives.
These guys are passionate about our environment & the awesome species that inhabit this area, & are so keen to share that with you. Definitely worth the money!

There were a couple of cancellations before we finally got on the tour yesterday. We’re glad we persisted. The LME was excellent. I got a bit sick on the way out but it calmed down at the pontoon and on the way back, no sign of sickness. The staff were lovely and hard working. The snorkelling was amazing and my favourite part. Thank you for a lovely day.

Amazing day, wonderful staff, lots of marine biologists who passionately shared their knowledge. Snorkelling and scuba diving were excellent, we saw turtles big and small, hundreds of varieties of fish, octopus and copious bird varieties. Definitely recommend but take your seasickness tablets or sit out side it can be rough. Also take sunscreen or protective clothing - they do not provide any protection and it super hot out there!

The trip over was quite rough, but once at the pontoon we experienced much calmer conditions. The next 48 hours absolutely made the journey out worth it!
Highlight would be swimming with turtles in the lagoon, and doing the sunset trip to the island to watch a nest of babies hatching. This was a magical experience and one I would do again in a heartbeat.
Special shoutout to the staff, who were all amazing and a great asset to LME.
Marine biologist Steven's knowledge of the local environment was impressive, and he shared it with enthusiasm and good humour. Toby is one of the friendliest guys we've met on our travels, and we loved his laid-back nature and willingness to have a chat and just help out with anything that needed doing.
Rui cooked us amazing meals in between helping out with everything else throughout the day, and is just an all-round good guy. Love his energy and passion for life.
Thanks to LME for an incredible experience and hoping we get the opportunity to return sooner rather than later!!

Second timers! Stayed overnight in Feb 2023 for a couples retreat - returned January 2024 with my teenage sons and stayed 2 nights. It is phenomenal - I’ve never experienced anything like it. This time I saw and Swam with 1.6m reef sharks, stingrays, many turtles, an octopus, thousands of species of fish, and the most colourful and varied types of corals. The experience from start to finish makes you feel very special. The staff are amazing. The environment second to none. We were so happy to see Dillon, Rui and Steven still working on the pontoon and scuba diving with Poppy was fantastic! Rui is a bit weird but an amazing chef - better meals than the mainland restaurants with such limited facilities - such talent as a chef and dancer… The passion of the staff, esp Steven about the reef and environment add so much value to the experience. Thank you LME for this wonderful experience for my family. I hope we can come back for a third time!

The crew are professional and very friendly. They were acknowledgeable and helpful. We had a stunning snorkelling experience, seeing turtles, a reef shark and beautiful coloured fish of all shapes and sizes. A must visit part of Australia and the Barrier reef.

When too many whales is just not enough! (Obviously, they can’t guarantee sightings, but they know the probability)
Encountered first whale literally with 10 minutes of the boat leaving the dock, mother with frolicking calf. Absolutely amazing.
Then went further out into the “Humpback Highway” amidst many travelling pods. Everything you could wish for on a whale watching tour.
Crew were great, knowledgeable and well informative.
There were a few seasick passengers, but can’t help that (follow the advice you get when you book).
I’d thoroughly recommend everyone to do this if you can.

Whale watching was a completely different experience again - the seas were so smooth and calm and we were completely unprepared for how close the whales came to the catamaran. It was a wonderful day. We all loved the experience.

Transfer by a modern clean ferry from Bundaberg was efficiently managed by friendly & relaxed staff. Island walk & glass boat was good but the snorkelling was the best. Based off pontoon moored off the island & it was super easy to slip in & out of water for snorkelling then a quick cup of tea then back in for more water fun.

Special thanks must go to Jess Duncan for helping me find my confidence in diving the deep blue sea again so quickly (i think i must have set a record recovery of less than 12 hours!). Next time I will definitely be back to do the outer lagoon dives!

The food was great and had lots of vegetarian options available and catered for gluten free if needed.
Shannon was a great tour guide and was happy to answer any questions I had. She also settled my nerves when she took me through the scuba safety guide before my dive began.
Jess was an incredible scuba instructor. I was very anxious but she couldn’t have made me feel more at ease. She continuously checked on me throughout the dive, and gave me her arm to hold on to when I needed.
The whole experience was well organised and thoroughly enjoyable so would 100% recommend.
