Commitment to Reef Conservation
Approaching its 75th anniversary, InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef celebrates its deep connection to the Great Barrier Reef’s natural beauty. Since the 1920s, when pioneers Monty and Honora Embury led the first ecological expeditions here, the island has had a long history of conservation. Their philosophy of minimal impact on the pristine environment helped shape the island’s legacy as an icon of ecotourism.
Today, the resort continues this tradition through its strengthened partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, reinforcing its commitment to preserving the Reef for future generations. This collaboration supports responsible tourism practices and aligns with the resort’s long-term dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
