When is the best time to visit?

Lord Howe Island is blessed with a near perfect climate often likened to perpetual spring; warm summers extending into autumn (Nov–Apr) with daytime temperatures ranging from 25-28ºC. September to May is perfect for swimming in the ocean. The gentle cool season from May to September offers daytime temperatures 18-22ºC, perfect for enjoying the many island activities on offer year-round, such as reef walking and bird watching.

A light spray proof jacket, hat and comfortable walking shoes are recommended when packing.  A hat, sunscreen and sunglasses are necessary protection against the sun.

Do you have any insider recommendations?
  • Follow a track to a grassy picnic area and onto the tiny beach at Lovers Bay, a private slice of paradise. Take a kayak or snorkel to explore the reef straight from the beach.
  • Reserve the coveted corner banquette in the restaurant where diners can take in the action at the bar, the cuisine arriving at the table and mesmerising views of the mountain twins, rising out of the sea.
  • Barbecuing is popular on Lord Howe and there are wood-fired grills situated in some of the best locations around the island, free for guest use. Make it delicious with freshly caught fish, salad greens from the heritage farm down the road and a local craft beer, all provided in Capella’s barbecue lunch pack.
