Planning a trip to Heron Island
Getting There -- A courtesy coach meets flights from Brisbane (with connections from other cities) at Gladstone airport at 10am to take guests to Gladstone Marina for the launch transfer to the island; it departs 11am daily (except Dec 25). Transfers aboard a 170-seater launch cost A$100 one-way for adults, half-price for kids 3 to 14. Trip time is around 2 hours. Helicopter transfers can be arranged for A$370 per adult or A$200 per child one-way.
