Named for its population of reptiles, the lizards on this island are the big (up to ten feet long), carnivorous types - not the "lounge lizard" types you may have met in your travels. Lizard Island is located on the northernmost isle of the Great Barrier Reef, surrounded by unspoiled, tropical-island beauty. You'll encounter the clams and the cod when you go on your scuba dives. The clams are 70-year-old giants, and the cod are notably curious (with a curious name - Potato Cod) and they're friendly; they'll swim right up to you for a close inspection. Although remote, cruise lines have not overlooked Lizard Island.
