Merry Christmas! For the early birds and nature enthusiasts, start the day with a self-guided morning bird walk to spot the local feathered residents. Afterwards, join your fellow guests and tour host for a heartfelt Christmas message. Following breakfast, we enjoy a privately guided treetop canopy walk. Traverse nine footbridges suspended 16 metres above the ground, offering breathtaking views of the subtropical rainforest. Your guide will highlight fascinating features of the diverse ecosystem, including unique flora and fauna. Later, put on your favourite festive attire and gather for a lavish Christmas lunch. Indulge in fresh seafood and traditional dishes, complemented by beer, wines, or soft drinks. The afternoon is yours to unwind — maybe take a dip in the infinity pool with stunning views overlooking the Lost World Valley. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed and casual light dinner, mingling with fellow guests to cap off a memorable Christmas Day.

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
