Immerse yourself in reef life at Heron Island
We started with a special place. A place rare and wonderful; an island paradise created on a bed of coral. Nestled in the living heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island is for those who want to experience and explore nature's own heaven - one of the few coral cays on the Great Barrier Reef and part of a World Heritage listed area. Green turtles have made it their nesting home. So too have birds of all sizes and kinds. Whales love to visit and call in regularly. And in the crystal clear aquamarine waters surrounding the island, stunning coral gardens and sea creatures great and small flourish in abundance and colour. It makes Heron a natural place for divers, swimmers and people who love to snorkel. It's also a natural choice for those who like to explore and laze on beaches far from crowds.
We started with the natural beauty of the reef and the kaleidoscope of the life it inspires. We added our passion for food and service and complemented it with the little luxuries that make holidays complete. Heron Island is our natural place on the reef.
There's a myriad of Great Barrier Reef hotels and resorts, but none like Heron. Access to Heron Island is via launch or try the spectacular helicopter transfer to the island from Gladstone Airport on the Queensland coast of Australia. Gladstone Airport is accessible from all major Australian airports.
