Heron Island Resort Whitsundays

Heron Island is a true coral cay right on the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can swim off the beach to an endless garden of coral where the waters are literally teeming with beautifully coloured fish and marine life.

The reef experience on Heron is exclusively for guests, a unique experience few other resorts in the world can offer. There's a relaxed island lifestyle that sets Heron apart, a sophisticated yet casual resort atmosphere. Here the emphasis is on exploring and discovering the natural attractions that have made Heron famous around the world.

A Heron holiday combines the rare excitement of nature with all the comforts of an international resort.
