Steve Irwin’s spirit lives on in his granddaughter Grace Warrior! Bindi Irwin’s 2-year-old daughter is a mini documentarian-in-training, as she narrates a family vacation to the Great Barrier Reef — and everything from her little Australian accent to her sweet excitement is giving us all the feels today!
“Welcome to the island. We love you!” — Grace 💙 @ladyelliotislandecoresort #TheGreatBarrierReef,” the Crikey! It’s The Irwins star captioned a new video on Instagram, tagging the Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

The video begins with Bindi holding Grace on her lap as they fly over the beautiful turquoise waters. Bindi tickles Grace on the sand and her husband, Chandler Powell, picks up Grace and walks her through the water. They also see sunsets and birds and more in this beautiful clip.
The best part is Grace dressed up in a wetsuit, narrating her adventures. “Great Barrier Reef!” she tells the camera, wind blowing in her hair. Bindi laughs and says, “Yes!” and the toddler just keeps repeating “Great Barrier Reef” over and over again, which would have surely made the late Crocodile Hunter proud.

At other parts of the video, Grace narrates everything she sees, from “sea turtle eggs” to a “lighthouse”(in quite possibly the most adorable little Aussie accent ever). At the end, a clearly tired Grace cuddles with her mom and says, “Welcome to the island! We love you,” and it’s the cutest thing we’ve ever seen.
The Crocodile Hunter Lives on In Grace
Although Steve died in 2006, long before Grace was born, the Irwin family keeps his memory alive for the little girl. In fact, she loves seeing is face around the Australia Zoo and in documentaries, lovingly referring to him as “Grandpa Crocodile.”
Many people in the comments agreed that Steve would be proud of this little girl.
“Wow! She is speaking so well and so clear,” one person wrote. “I just had this moment watching this thinking about how over the moon Steve would have been with her; enthusiastic, so much fun together. It made my eyes well up. You guys are doing an amazing job!”
“She’s so precious,” another wrote. “Your dad I know is proud for continuing his mission and sharing that with your daughter ❤️”
“That is the cutest Great Barrier Reef I have ever heard 🥹,” another said.
Robert Irwin Had His Own Special Moment with Grace
Bindi’s brother, Robert Irwin, and their mom, Terri Irwin, also make appearances in the video, showing that the whole family is enjoying this wildlife adventure together. The Irwins are a tight-knit group, and Robert even shared his own special moment with his niece, Grace.
“Seaside chats with Grace ☀️,” the wildlife photographer captioned a video on Instagram.
Grace and Robert are hanging out on beach chairs, enjoying the wind in their hair. Their bond is so precious!
Grace Always Has a Smile
Just like her happy parents, Grace Warrior always seems to have a smile. Whether she’s exploring the Great Barrier Reef or acting like a princess at Disneyland, Grace always find something to delight in. She is a burst of sunshine, and we love watching her explore the world!
