Heron Island HoneymoonDiscover a true coral cay, ringed by a gorgeous white-sand beach and surrounded by an endless coral garden teeming with marine life. Stroll along the powder-white sand and pick your own secluded spot to sunbathe and swim or snorkel among colourful reef fish in the warm turquoise waters of the South Pacific. Things to do and seeLocated on the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island is world famous for its scuba diving and snorkelling with more than 30 dive sites available – half of which are only 15 minutes from the beach. Dive among a huge range of marine life including green and loggerhead turtles, cowries, wobbegong, reef sharks, moray eels, butterfly cod, octopuses and manta rays. Watch green and loggerhead turtles during the nesting season between January and March and follow trails through dense pisonia forests and groves of pandanus to see thousands of noddy terns and shearwater mutton birds.
