Heron Island

Most travelers route through Brisbane (BNE) and connect to Gladstone (GLT), then transfer offshore to Heron Island.

Step-by-step (typical):

• Fly into Gladstone (GLT) on the transfer day.
• Continue to Gladstone Marina Parklands (Heron Island Ferry Terminal in the Gladstone Visitor Information building, 72 Bryan Jordan Drive).
• Choose a transfer:
  • Heron Islander catamaran: about 2.5 hours each way.
  • Helicopter: about 30 minutes each way.

Timing tip: the ferry terminal check-in window is early and closes before departure. Build buffer time for flight delays and taxis.

On Heron Island, transport is simple: you walk everywhere on sandy tracks. There are no cars for guests.
