"Wilson Island is magical. It is simple luxury. Remote, untouched, but with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Nothing to do except swim, snorkel, read, enjoy the marine life and stare at the glorious views. I'll be back a third time."

1/5 - Terrible

Great coral reef gardens and myriad fish spoiled by a resort in decay that needs the owners to spend $50M or sell to someone who will. Would strongly recommend not staying on Heron Island. Terrible compared with other Barrier Reef islands.

3/5 - Okay

Unique wildlife experience on a beautiful tropical coral quay. Turtles, sharks, rays and bird species were sensational.
