About Heron Island
Heron is the only Great Barrier Reef Resort located on a true coral cay. Meaning, you are quite literally surrounded by the reef, you can swim right from the beach to an endless garden of coral teeming with marine life.
Little wonder it’s one of the world’s best dive sites. In fact, there are more than 20 Great Barrier Reef dive sites accessible from Heron Island, half of which are within 15 minutes of the resort. Of course, you don’t have to get off the island to experience natural the wonders of Heron. The Island is a protected habitat for a stunning array of wildlife including nesting turtles and an abundance of Australian birdlife.
Note: There is no mobile phone coverage on Heron Island.
