1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveller

Great coral reef gardens and myriad fish spoiled by a resort in decay that needs the owners to spend $50M or sell to someone who will. Would strongly recommend not staying on Heron Island. Terrible compared with other Barrier Reef islands.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Accommodation is in desperate need of upgrade and cleaning

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Unique wildlife experience on a beautiful tropical coral quay. Turtles, sharks, rays and bird species were sensational.
