Hoga Island is surrounded by coral reefs flourishing with an exceptionally wide variety of marine life - everywhere you look there is something to fascinate and intrigue, something new to learn about the reef and its inhabitants.
On land, the island offers other wildlife attractions - birds such the shy orange-legged scrub fowl, tuneful black-naped orioles and raucous parrots, stealthy monitor lizards and other smaller lizards, land crabs and more besides. There are no roads on the island, just a very small village on the northern end. Over the last 10 years Hoga Island has become well known in the British university world because of the work of scientists and students with Operation Wallacea.
