Stop 1

Your adventure starts when we pick you up from your accommodation and drive up to the iconic Byron Bay lighthouse. Be blown away by the 360 degree panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean and mountain landscape, and get up close to the iconic Byron Bay lighthouse. Between May and October, whales can be spotted on their annual migration and this is one of the best vantage points to soak up this majestic sight.

Next stop, a tour of the sustainable-farming and food experience that is The Farm, Byron Bay. Meet the resident heritage-breed pigs, Scottish Highland cattle and free-roaming chickens as you stroll through fields of flowers, macadamia and pecan plantations and market gardens filled with in-season produce.

Visit the historic and delightful town of Bangalow. Here you will have a delicious lunch. The old world charm of the architecture belies the chic shopping, eateries and galleries that are on offer, not to mention the beautiful and historic pub. Unique, Bangalow is a beautiful village to stroll through and maybe pick up that special keepsake or gift including everything from vintage clothing, home wares, glamorous designer boutiques and an authentic French patisserie.
