Fall In Love All Over Again

Heron Island and Wilson Island are adjacent islands on the Capricorn Coast of the Great Barrier Reef. To get to the island, transfers are available from Gladstone, the nearest urban centre. Home to secluded private beaches, these islands are an eco-paradise that offers a relaxing and comfortable experience for newlyweds or couples looking for a respite from the city.

These islands are also known for the green turtle and loggerhead turtle experiences. Watch the hatchlings emerge down the beach while the giant turtles nest and lay their eggs through October to March. With over 20 dive sites easily accessible by boat within minutes of the jetty, it is the perfect location for all levels of marine enthusiasts. A nature lovers’ dream, these islands are also home to migrating whales and a breeding sanctuary for an abundance of birdlife.
