Birdwatching Paradise with a Catch
Waking to the chirp of seabirds added a magical charm to our stay. The room was basic but comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to help us.
However, the overwhelming smell from the bird droppings made it challenging to truly enjoy outdoor spaces. The dining options felt limited after a few nights.

Would be happy to recommend for a trip
Exceptional beachside suite, exceptional snorkelling experience, where I witnessed amazing sea turtles and enjoyed the convenience of beach access right outside my door.
Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

An Unforgettable Nature Escape
Our family experienced magic every day! Waking up to nesting turtles and watching hatchlings sprint to the sea thrilled us. The staff were genuinely enthusiastic, and the kids loved the Junior Rangers Program. Pro tip, be prepared for birds everywhere! Bring reef-safe sunscreen.

The wildlife and snorkeling experiences at the island are truly memorable. However, the resort feels outdated, with inconsistent service and maintenance issues that detract from the otherwise stunning natural surroundings. The dining options could also see improvement in variety and quality.

Snorkeling was breathtaking and unforgettable!
We had a string of unfortunate events during our stay. the food was incredibly limited and overpriced, which was extremely frustrating. Additionally, the ferry service was unreliable, making us feel stranded and anxious. We even had to endure a last-minute helicopter ride that cost much more due to cancellations, and the staff offered little assistance or understanding.

Heron Island is an absolute paradise with stunning crystal clear waters and an incredible array of marine life. Our Turtle Room offered a cozy retreat, surrounded by beautiful nature and vibrant seabirds during our stay. Swimming with turtles and snorkeling right off the beach was unreal!
Food options are somewhat limited during dinner.

missingWrote a review on 10 Marsnorkeling beachesjunior rangers programfriendly stafflimited food options
We had an amazing group vacation snorkeling right off the beautiful beaches onto the Great Barrier Reef! We also took part in the Junior Rangers Program which was great for the younger crowd. Just a heads up, the ferry ride can be bumpy, so be prepared with some motion sickness meds. Overall, the staff were super friendly and made our stay memorable.
One downside was the limited food options, especially when dining out at night. We could only choose from a smorgasbord at a set price, which wasn't ideal for every meal.

For an amazing snorkeling experience, try to book the early morning sessions when the water is calmer and marine life is more active.
