The richness of the sea is matched by the nurturing strength of natural botanicals.

Sodashi products are a premium all-Australian natural skin and body care range, highly-respected and known for their healing and relaxation properties.

Children from 7 to 12 years old can join Heron Island's Junior Ranger Program, which operates during Australian eastern seaboard school holidays.

By prior arrangement outside of this period, 2 weeks notice needs to be given prior to arrival and a minimum of 3 children are needed.
