Heron Island Resort is famous around the world for it's resort, diving and snorkelling. In fact over half of all guests are from overseas.

This is a far greater percentage than other island resorts and it is simply because Heron Island Resort is right on the Great Barrier Reef. And that’s a benefit in any language.

Ask people how they came to the island and invariably they say “we heard about it through friends”. 

A honeymoon couple from Sweden summed up the Heron Island Resort difference by noting “there are beautiful beaches a lot closer to home, but there is nowhere else on earth like this”. The fact is, without the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island would be just another island resort.

At Heron Island Resort, the mosaic of the reef surrounds you even as you enjoy a drink in the air-conditioned Pandanus Lounge.

On Heron Island you can swim straight off the beach to an endless garden of coral bursting with beautifully coloured fish. But it’s what you don’t see around Heron Island that makes the resort so special. You won’t see any buildings above the tree line. And you won’t see any day trippers either.
