As one of the few coral cays on the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island offers a truly special Queensland family holiday for your loved ones. With so many things to do, your kids will never want to go back home!


Complimentary Great Barrier Reef activities for the whole family include:

• Guided reef walks (mum and dad can join too!)
• Birdlife walks
• Amazing snorkeling – a nature lover’s paradise
• Turtle nesting viewing (at peak nesting times)

We also offer exciting Great Barrier Reef family activities at extra cost, such as snorkelling on the outer reef, and our very own Junior Rangers program. This program operates during Australian eastern seaboard school holidays and offers a range of nature-based activities designed to nurture a sense of exploration and caring for the environment. In other words – it’s pure fun!

Children 12 years and under stay and eat free at Heron Island (in existing bedding), and as the only full board island holiday resort on the Great Barrier Reef it’s just perfect for a Queensland family trip.
