Overview

See the side of Byron Bay most visitors miss. We pick you up from your accommodation and head into the Northern Rivers.

Swim under Killen Falls, a waterfall in lush rainforest with a cave behind the falling water. Grab a paddleboard on Lake Ainsworth, where the tea trees turn the water a deep amber. The tea tree oil in the water is known for being great for your skin and hair. Walk the headland at Lennox Head, then find the quiet beaches of the Broken Head Nature Reserve. We regularly see dolphins in the waves and wallabies in the reserve, though wildlife is never guaranteed.

Killen Falls is on every tour. The order of the other stops changes with the weather and tides. We stop for lunch at a local cafe in Lennox Head, where our guests get 10% off their order, or bring your own. You'll be back by 5pm.

You travel in a minibus or larger tour bus, depending on group size, with a local guide who knows every hidden spot.
