Turtle Hatching on Heron Island
Highlights
- Experience the thrill of watching baby turtles emerge from nests on Heron Island during hatching season.
- Explore the vibrant coral reefs and marine life just beyond the shore's crystal clear waters.
- Wander along the white sandy beaches of Heron Island, where natural beauty surrounds every step.
- Immerse yourself in adventure as you discover the wonders of a National Marine Park teeming with life.
Heron Island is a National Marine Park situated in the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. This area is a significant nesting location for two threatened sea turtle species, the Green Turtle and the Loggerhead Turtle. Our tour to Heron Island is in the height of baby Green and Loggerhead Turtle hatching season. During hatching season, turtle hatchlings will erupt from their nests between 25 to 50 metres from shore and make their way to the reef, just beyond the water’s edge. Heron Island is a true coral cay and is ribboned by white sands, crystal clear waters and acres of coral with beautifully coloured marine life. The emphasis is on enjoying natural beauty. Stress is replaced by adventure, and your days are filled with discovery
