"A remote property on the reef’s northern fringes, Lizard Island Resort put me near the path of the dwarf minke whale migration, and from here travelers typically take a scenic ride to the outer reef to see cetaceans and human-sized potato grouper. Although four days of incessant wind kept us within a stone’s throw of shore, a final dive and the resort’s waterfront yoga and breathwork sessions helped me slow down, listen to the waves, and fully appreciate the world wonder around me." - Stephanie Vermillion
