Play Kids
We do everything we can to help you enjoy a Great Barrier Reef family holiday on Heron Island. Heron Island offers young visitors a unique range of interesting and educational experiences.
Children aged 7 to 12 can join Heron Island's Junior Ranger Program, which operates during Australian eastern seaboard school holidays (or through prior arrangement outside of this period).
Heron Island's newly revised Junior Rangers Program has been developed by Heron Island's experienced team of Marine Biologists and Naturalist Guides, with the co-operation of the University of Queensland, and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.
The Junior Rangers Program offers a range of nature based activities designed to nurture a sense of exploration and caring for the environment, from reef walks, bird-watching and beachcombing through to tree planting and even the opportunity to design and run your own resort island. Junior Ranger activities contribute to the earning of a variety of colourful embroidered badges, from the "Three-Kilometre Badge" through to the highly prized "Junior Ranger Badge".
A one-off registration fee applies for each Junior Ranger participant with fees generating funds for the Queensland Turtle Conservation Program. Registration costs cover the provision of a Junior Rangers Workbook, Junior Ranger Hat, embroidered badges, and Junior Ranger activities throughout the duration of your stay.
