This Australian Geographic EXCLUSIVE tour explores Heron and Wilson islands, famous for their spectacular coral reefs and a sanctuary for an extraordinary variety of marine life. Your tour is fully escorted by our marine conservation and naturalist guide, who will give you a personal and passionate insight into island life.
At just 800m long x 300m wide, Heron Island is located on the western end of Heron Reef, which is home to 60 per cent of the fish species and 70 per cent of the coral species found on the Great Barrier Reef.
You will join in the citizen science CoralWatch program using the CoralWatch Health Chart, developed at the Heron Island Research Station in 2002, and take a behind the scenes look at the ongoing conservation and research being done here.
