Heron Island
Diving the Great Barrier Reef on Heron Island
Heron Island is famous around the world because it is exciting diving made easy. There's no need for day trips to the Reef because you're already there, so you can easily enjoy up to three full dives a day. There are over twenty different dive sites, more than half of which are just fifteen minutes from the beach. With so many acres of living coral literally teeming with fish, it's easy to see why keen divers keep coming back to Heron.
Please note: all dive and snorkel activities and tours are subject to weather and tidal conditions.
