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/
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.
@@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
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.
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!!
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!
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!)
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
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
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!
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.
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/
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.
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 :)
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!
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!*
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.
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?
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!
Such a great video! Inspiring and entertaining at the same time🤩 We had to sub💗 Looking forward to seing more of your content🌟 We make travel videos too🛫
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!
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
@@markrushton4631 you really are not being nice to other people who can actually appreciate their world unlike you. you have no sense of how other people feel so i would keep you opinions to your self if i were you and don't talk to me ever again please
To be fair, the amount of indigenous biological life on and surrounding the island that is found nowhere else on earth is pretty staggering considering the size of the island.
For the Europeans in the comments: Croatia islands are pretty sililar. Clear water, mountains in the background. You saved yourself 2000 euro. Thank me later.
@@sophiaklau517 Going there by yacht they charge a hefty fee to land,Boaters don't spend enough money. Things have a large mark up even though the Australian government heavily subsidises every thing conning from Aus. They are not very Australian because they wan't to leave Aust and even wan't there own money, ha ha what a joke that would be. So yes don't go.

Good job bro
What time of the year did you go ?
extremely blessed to have been born here. Plan on staying here for the rest of my time :)
That's amazing! I really loved it there - you've got such a beautiful place to call home!

Lord Howe Island is absolutely stunning. Everywhere you look, all you see is beautiful sceneries! Plus, the sunrise is exceptional.
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
That's such a cool way of discovering new places! Lord Howe Island really is a stunner!
Very Cool. That was my sail boat you passed. We arrived for one day from New Caledonia on way to Newcastle. Loved Lorde Howe.
Ah no way, that's so cool! I love Lord Howe Island, can't wait to visit again one day.
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.
It's incredible, isn't it? I really hope I get to visit again one day!
@@AnAdventurousWorld we are just back from our second trip. Our first was 26 years ago. The island has changed a fair bit since then.
Beautiful. Thank you. Kathleen HOWE
You're very welcome!
You are right- I had never heard of this place! Some epic hikes - it’s now on the list!! 💪😉
Don't worry, I hadn't either! It's such an amazing place though and worth the very very very long flight for!
Fantástico lugar maravilhoso Amei muito este assunto que lugar místico
Wow, what a spectacular little island with gorgeous views. So lucky to visit this island. Great video by the way!
Thank you so much! I have so much love for Lord Howe Island!
Going on Saturday for our 3rd visit. Can't wait.
AMAZING! How was it? What was your favourite activity while you were there?
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!
Likewise! I would go back in a heartbeat - such a beautiful place in the world!
It’s crazy to believe that those stick insects at one point all lived in a little bush a balls pyramid!
I know! So glad they survived - apparently their numbers are looking really healthy now which is great to see.
😍😍😍 how have I never heard of this island!? It looks beautiful.
I was exactly the same until I visited! It's so beautiful though and so different to anywhere else in Australia!
Great overview of the island - super helpful, thank you, you have us hooked on going there!
Glad it was helpful! It really is an amazing place - I can't recommend it enough.
Great stuff mate, take us back!
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!
YOU ARE GREAT MY FRIEND! EXCELLENT TOUR OF THE ISLAND!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
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
It's a cool little island that not many people know is even there. Hopefully you enjoyed the video and learned something new!
Such an incredible place!! You've really captured it well. ❤️
It really is one of the most beautiful places I've been to, especially so close to Australia too!

Looks amazing!
I never knew LHI looked so good!
Stunning! It kind of reminds me a tiny Reunion Island 😍🌿
I bet it would be very similar to Reunion - I just need to get myself there!
Looks like a real adventure!
Wow the beaches look amazing. Absolutely stunning place - your video is great. Not sure about the stick insects...
The stick insects are the star of the show! The beaches ain't bad either!
I thought the stick insects looked awesome. Might get you a pet one for Christmas!
@@EmilyLuxton me or Macca? If it's me you can give it straight to Macca.
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!*
Yeah, it really is such a stunning place and a real hidden gem - not many people know about it that's for sure!
Ok new place for the bucket list!! Everything looked so amazing. Those vieeewwwwwwws!
Tell me about it! It's such a beautiful island - I wish more people knew about it!
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.❤️❤️❤️
You're very welcome, and I'm glad you found it useful!
Beautiful place👍
It really is!
Today i saw a large strange tree from there in the botanical garden Tenerife
My God, do I wanna retire and live there...
Truly a slice of paradise...
So do I!
Not cheap to live there plus very limited medical facilities plus almost impossible to get a property to rent, never mind buy.

Thanks for commenting!
Great Vid thanks mate. What would you rate as the best accommodation on Lord Howe? cheers Mark.
Beautiful place
It really is! I love it there so much!

You cant land on Balls without permission from National Parks, which the average tourist will not get. Ever.
wow, adding to my wish list for sure! :) looks amazing
Yay! That's great to hear! You'll love it there I'm sure!
Amazing place! Great video. How long did you stay there?
Thank you so much! I was there for 5 days in the end which wasn't long enough at all!
Such a great video! Inspiring and entertaining at the same time🤩 We had to sub💗 Looking forward to seing more of your content🌟
We make travel videos too🛫
Thank you so much - I really appreciate your support!
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...
Ha. No, it was all good. It was a great tour - I really enjoyed it!
Haha. That was my first thought too.
Neds beach is so cool.
I really loved it there!
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.
How many days do U recommend to do the beach ?
Wow
Beautiful, right?
Film the shallows ☺️☺️☺️
Just need a proper underwater housing for that!
🌴☀️
Thanks buddy!
Hi as it is an exclusive island what are dinning options there?
Wow!!! I want to go there! East coast US! Looooong flight :(
Yeah, that would be an epic trip. Who knows, hopefully you'll make it there one day!
Be sure to pack light, as in, really light.
Does Goats Head Cave actually have a cave to see when you get there?
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!
what time of the year did you go there?
I was there in September and it was glorious!
Lord Howe Island
It certainly is!
Hey where did you stay? The accommodation seems to be fairly expensive and hard to get into
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!
@@AnAdventurousWorld Everything is expensive because it's very remote. That's the price of paradise.
Whats the fishing like ?
i'd love to go but flights alone are like%1600 return :(
I am interested in your videos. You deserve more fans, I can help you.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Do they have internet? I'm from NSW.
They do at the hotels! I'm pretty sure there was no data coverage though, but the Wifi was good.
@@AnAdventurousWorld what is that base by the mountain is it military
@@joshuabacon4564 it's just the little airport and runway. There's no military bases or placements on the island.
@@davidmurphy2903 Yes there is a secret military base on Lord Howe Island FACT
@@joshuabacon4564 Really? Where? Because in the 25 years I lived there, I never saw one.

Galapagos he reckons
That's what David Attenborough said about the place and I reckon he's spot on!
It’s flora & fauna is pretty unique for such a small island.
To be fair, the amount of indigenous biological life on and surrounding the island that is found nowhere else on earth is pretty staggering considering the size of the island.
i guess the water is cold lol... because I don't see you swimming loll.
I went swimming every day I was there! The water was very warm!
