UNMISSABLE THINGS TO DO ON LORD HOWE ISLAND, AUSTRALIA

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Hey! Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE! This is one of my favourite videos I've created recently so it would be brilliant if you could follow me on my next adventure! I'm looking forward to reading all your comments below 👇 Also, you can check out my blog post packed full of the best things to do on Lord Howe Island here - www.anadventurousworld.com/things-to-do-on-lord-howe-island/

[@shandevesd5597]

Good job bro

[@neekazamani3690]

What time of the year did you go ?

[@elliekoumo628]

extremely blessed to have been born here. Plan on staying here for the rest of my time :)

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

That's amazing! I really loved it there - you've got such a beautiful place to call home!

[@davidwatermeyer5421]

Excuse my inquisitiveness but I read only about 350 people live there. I assume you must all know each other? He had no shots of the town or anything presumably (and understandably) for privacy reasons but just wondered how it might be to live there. All good things anyway. No need to reply. Just must be so amazing to live in a place like this.

[@Levottomat01]

@@davidwatermeyer5421 Yeah, everyone knows everyone. Staff turn over happens in September, Feb and May usually. New faces tend to come in then and if you can, you try and take off to NZ, Bali or Thailand in July or August for a holiday. Living there isnt that much different. There's not much to do, so people who live there tend to get stuck in a routine. Wednesday night, members draw at the Bowlo, during summer, the shak on thursday night, there used to be late nights at the bowlo on friday but they seem to have stopped. Dinner at the golfie on friday or take away from Milky Way. Sicca does the best beef curry you'll eat. His hamburger was a epic too. Dave at Anchorage does unreal food.

i lived on lord howe for 4 months building the broken banyan units about 45 years ago and i have never been back. i will have to go for a visit soon it is an amazing place . very good fishing there

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

That's so cool! I've heard the fishing is great though unfortunately I didn't have enough time to do it myself. Hopefully you can make it back one day.

[@alexdurheim1223]

My grandparents live on the island and I visit every year (18x now), I am related to Kim Morris, the founder of the name Kims Lookout and I love this video and I recommend the sunsets on Old Settlement. It really puts you in a great state of mind., and depending on your schedule mt Gower is an amazing climb! Thank you for Putting Lord Howe out there and keep up the good work!!

[@Rex-tj9nw]

Thanks

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

That's amazing, thanks for commenting Alex! It sounds like you've got a huge connection to the island which I love. I really hope I can visit LHI again one day as it's such a beautiful place!

[@brettmoffitt8223]

That's amazing Alex. I climbed Kim's Lookout back in 1972 when I was 4yo. Not a hard climb but the people at Pinetrees made me a clay medallion to commemorate. (I wish I still had it!)

[@Levottomat01]

Who are your grandparents? My mum went to school with Kim and Robin over there.

[@douglasstemke2444]

I was there 9 years ago. Lovely. As a Biologist it is truly magnificent. The waters were actually rather cold ( I was there in June) so a wet suit would have helped

[@lavender27angel]

i literally was on google earth just spinning the globe and i see this tiny little island called lord howe so i went to youtube and found this! it is soooo gorgeous!!!! wooow

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

That's such a cool way of discovering new places! Lord Howe Island really is a stunner!

[@viatravelers]

Lord Howe Island is absolutely stunning. Everywhere you look, all you see is beautiful sceneries! Plus, the sunrise is exceptional.

[@johndlupton]

Very Cool. That was my sail boat you passed. We arrived for one day from New Caledonia on way to Newcastle. Loved Lorde Howe.

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Ah no way, that's so cool! I love Lord Howe Island, can't wait to visit again one day.

[@liambrubach2922]

It’s crazy to believe that those stick insects at one point all lived in a little bush a balls pyramid!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

I know! So glad they survived - apparently their numbers are looking really healthy now which is great to see.

[@gussy6104]

I’ve been here 2 it is my favourite place in the world. The hiking, the swimming, the riding bikes, the sunsets and all the sunsets/sunrises.

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

It's incredible, isn't it? I really hope I get to visit again one day!

[@wendycayless]

@@AnAdventurousWorld we are just back from our second trip. Our first was 26 years ago. The island has changed a fair bit since then.

Fantástico lugar maravilhoso Amei muito este assunto que lugar místico

[@kateslippers8289]

Beautiful. Thank you. Kathleen HOWE

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

You're very welcome!

[@PocketTrailblazer]

You are right- I had never heard of this place! Some epic hikes - it’s now on the list!! 💪😉

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Don't worry, I hadn't either! It's such an amazing place though and worth the very very very long flight for!

[@daletorrance5026]

Going on Saturday for our 3rd visit. Can't wait.

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

AMAZING! How was it? What was your favourite activity while you were there?

[@TheTravelHack]

😍😍😍 how have I never heard of this island!? It looks beautiful.

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

I was exactly the same until I visited! It's so beautiful though and so different to anywhere else in Australia!

[@GenieOfTheLamp82]

Wow, what a spectacular little island with gorgeous views. So lucky to visit this island. Great video by the way!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Thank you so much! I have so much love for Lord Howe Island!

[@arog1928]

Wow! how i wish seeing this video .im just a google earth explorer.thanks for the video all my questions to this island is being answered.❤️❤️❤️

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

You're very welcome, and I'm glad you found it useful!

[@cmpillred277]

When I was in the merchant navy back when I was 18 we were based in Sydney, every cruise after visiting Fiji or Tahiti we would do a circuit of Lord Howe and Balls pyramid, it was so frustrating being so close and never landing now I can see what I missed makes it even worse, hope to one day actually set foot on it for real though not sure how easy it is to get to from the mainland.

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Wow, that's like the ultimate travel frustration - being able to see a place but not visit it! Yeah, Lord Howe Island really is a special place. Hopefully you can visit one day. Until then, here's some more information on the island you might find useful - www.anadventurousworld.com/things-to-do-on-lord-howe-island/

[@cmpillred277]

Thanks for that, the view I had was very like the boat tour you took, yes it was incredibly frustrating. I must have circled the Island and balls pyramid at least 5 or 6 times so near yet so far hope your right and I can finally land on it properly.

[@jasminealleyblog]

Sooooo so good Macca!!! You captured it beautifully! I miss this island- it really was one of the best trips I've ever been on!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Likewise! I would go back in a heartbeat - such a beautiful place in the world!

[@tomarcherphoto]

Great stuff mate, take us back!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Yes please! I still feel there's a few things I missed out on so I definitely want to go back again! And thanks for all your help mate on this one - I really appreciate it!

[@amandapurnell7647]

Great overview of the island - super helpful, thank you, you have us hooked on going there!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Glad it was helpful! It really is an amazing place - I can't recommend it enough.

[@alexanderhupfer]

Came across this Island after testing timezone related code. This island is the complete edge case with a half hour offset for daylight savings time

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

It's a cool little island that not many people know is even there. Hopefully you enjoyed the video and learned something new!

[@nedikate]

Thank you, this was really informative and super helpful as to what to do there. I’m hoping to go there next year. Bit pricey but sounds like it’s worth it :)

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

No worries at all, and I'm glad you found it useful. It's definitely expensive, but it's 100% worth it too in my opinion. It really is such a special place to visit!

[@honkytonk25]

Looks amazing! I never knew LHI looked so good!

[@Wanderlustchloe]

Such an incredible place!! You've really captured it well. ❤️

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

It really is one of the most beautiful places I've been to, especially so close to Australia too!

[@sofiai.1320]

YOU ARE GREAT MY FRIEND! EXCELLENT TOUR OF THE ISLAND!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

[@ThinkIaM]

Stunning! It kind of reminds me a tiny Reunion Island 😍🌿

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

I bet it would be very similar to Reunion - I just need to get myself there!

[@michal1025]

I was just lookin around on google earth for islands that maybe could look pretty came opon this island searched it up on goolge then on yt and it looks *BEAUTIFULL!*

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Yeah, it really is such a stunning place and a real hidden gem - not many people know about it that's for sure!

[@tytoalbasoren9457]

My God, do I wanna retire and live there... Truly a slice of paradise...

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

So do I!

[@wendycayless]

Not cheap to live there plus very limited medical facilities plus almost impossible to get a property to rent, never mind buy. .

[@VickyFlipFlop.]

Wow the beaches look amazing. Absolutely stunning place - your video is great. Not sure about the stick insects...

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

The stick insects are the star of the show! The beaches ain't bad either!

[@EmilyLuxton]

I thought the stick insects looked awesome. Might get you a pet one for Christmas!

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Thank you so much - I really appreciate your support!

[@AfrQTV]

Definitely best movie on YT about LHI! I rlly enjoyed watching this. What about the Balls Pyramid, ive heard that its extremly hard to legally go hiking on it, but what about to jump on the boat and sail around that huge rock?

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me. I'm not too sure you can hike on Balls Pyramid but you can definitely see it on a tour. Unfortunately it's a lot further away than I realised so we didn't visit there - usually it's on a day trip. But yes, you can go there on a tour and see it!

[@Levottomat01]

You cant land on Balls without permission from National Parks, which the average tourist will not get. Ever.

[@japp3playzz]

Your vid is almost epic man, great landscapes and agree with all your opinions. Thanks for the editing and creative work. It is "almost" epic cuz the lanscapes are awesome and the way you mix them is incredible, the only downside is that you appear in so many frames selfportrainting yourself, no problem but its suposed that the vid is about australia and not yourself. Nature is way superior to the humans and less selfish one. Btw you have my like.

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the landscapes at least!

[@olgaperry592]

Amazing place! Great video. How long did you stay there?

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Thank you so much! I was there for 5 days in the end which wasn't long enough at all!

[@vernonhampton6973]

Absolutely stunning, but I can't help but worry when he says he went on a 3-hour boat tour. Just tell me the boat wasn't named the S.S. Minnow...

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Ha. No, it was all good. It was a great tour - I really enjoyed it!

[@darkrayden9311]

How many days do U recommend to do the beach ?

[@diannew1373]

Hey where did you stay? The accommodation seems to be fairly expensive and hard to get into

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

Hi there! I stayed at Pinetrees Lodge. I speak about some of the accommodation options in my blog post here - www.anadventurousworld.com/things-to-do-on-lord-howe-island/. But yes, the accommodation is very expensive on the island!

[@wendycayless]

@@AnAdventurousWorld Everything is expensive because it's very remote. That's the price of paradise.

And its been like that for over 50 years. We visited in 1972 and I remember the old guy who taught the fish to come in for feeding.

[@kristiefitzpatrick8528]

Hi as it is an exclusive island what are dinning options there?

[@edyoung6756]

Does Goats Head Cave actually have a cave to see when you get there?

[@AnAdventurousWorld]

It's more of an overhang, but yes it does. It would keep you dry if it was hammering it down, so I'd say that counts as a cave!

[@australiastarlike817]

[@yoen1_1]

don't visit this island if not mid-Dec to mid march because the water is cold.. if you don't like swimming and like quiet then visit this island in winter not many people. if you want to save money bring a stock of foods from Sydney if you have extra bags because saves you lots of money. foods start 20-30 dollars one time eat. I think 4 days is enough if not you will get bored more than that. this island you reach in a 1-day walk so not much not including hiking to the mountain. this island is not very friendly to visitors you can feel that... you can feel their want your money but don't want you here lol ... also their look is not friendly to Asian tourists too... you can feel that when you visit that island similar like Norfolk island
