Nothing beats the pure joy of watching turtle hatchlings wiggle their way to the water 🥰
Hatchling season is in full swing on Heron Island and these tiny turtles are stealing the show daily.
Visit before the end of April for your best chance to see them! ✨

Get ready for the cutest race you’ll ever see 🐢💨
The first nests of the season are already in the sand, which means we're officially counting down until tiny hatchlings begin emerging on Heron Island.

What do you call a group of rays? 👀
A fever! ✨
One of those fun facts you never thought you'd need... until you're snorkelling at Heron Island and a fever of pink whiprays cruise on by 💙

Would you spot this duo? 👀
Master Reef Guide Elliot found these two hidden in plain sight in the reef flat on Heron Island.
It's a white-speckled sea hare and a tiny sap-sucking sea slug... and a great reminder to slow down and look a little closer 💙

We’ll let you caption this one 👀
For context: it’s mating season here on Heron Island, when multiple males can be seen vying for the same female.
Over to you 😂👇

It's tough being the little guy, even when you're a shark... 🦈
Recent guest @jennaleasmithers captured this extraordinary moment when a juvenile blacktip reef shark is hunted by a much larger blacktip reef shark and two groupers off Heron Island.
The larger shark struck first, briefly catching the juvenile before it managed to escape into the shallows. But the chase wasn't over...
Two groupers followed closely behind and, unfortunately for the little shark, one eventually caught it. Look closely at the final scene 👀
Encounters like this offer a fascinating glimpse into the harsh realities of life on the reef.

100 years ago, this island made turtle soup! 🥣
Today it’s a protected green zone on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, and from October to April, it’s Heron Island turtle season, as green and loggerhead turtles come ashore here to safely nest 🐢
Both species are threatened, which is why guests get strict guidelines on watching nesting turtles, and the island’s naturalist guides run free turtle walks at sunrise and sunset. Hatchlings start appearing in late December 🤩
Snorkelling to the “cleaning station” to see the turtles and rays park themselves up for their fishy friends to do their job was so cool!
And we loved our fav little epaulette shark (aka the walking shark) which kept swimming up to us on our coral watch walk 🪸
sooo... you, me and @heronisland?
