In the crystal clear aquamarine waters surrounding the island, stunning coral gardens and sea creatures great and small flourish in abundance and colour. They make Heron Island an easy vacation choice for divers, swimmers, and people who love to snorkel. The resort also offers an array of activity options for those who like to relax, explore and laze on beaches far from crowds, with no reef “day-trippers” to spoil the peace and quiet.
From September to March each year, Heron Island is the breeding home for the Loggerhead and Green sea turtles. These giants of the sea return to lay their eggs, some 30 years after they were hatched, in the exact same spot - continuing the circle of life on Heron Island.
