HERON ISLAND RESORT, HERON ISLAND

PERFECT DESTINATION

Surrounded by tropical forest, colourful coral gardens, golden beaches and dazzling marine life, Heron Island Resort is the perfect destination for those looking to get away from it all.

Heron Island is so small you could walk around it in 20 minutes. It sits right on the Great Barrier Reef, so naturally is a wonderful location for swimming in turquoise waters and diving amongst a myriad of multi-coloured fish. The resort itself is just a stroll away from the white-sanded beach, an important nesting site for green and loggerhead turtles, whilst the tropical interior hosts numerous birds including the black noddy and the island’s namesake, herons.

The resort has a variety of accommodation options ranging from comfortable Turtle Rooms nestled in tropical gardens to spacious suites with direct beach access. For those seeking total seclusion, the resort also offers a private beach house with its own boardwalk to the beach, plus a large living area, private patio and outdoor shower. All rooms have either a balcony or terrace, so all guests are able to sit back and drink in mesmerising sunsets.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”
Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”
It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.
