About this experience

Come with Delta Kay for an inspiring 2.5 hour guided Aboriginal tour as we make our way along the 3.7 km iconic Walgun Cape Byron Lighthouse Loop Trail.

Beginning at Clarkes Beach, this tour takes guests up the Tallow Ridge Walking Track through serene coastal rainforests before reaching the Cape Byron Lighthouse, revealing breathtaking panoramic views of the region. The tour then follows the Cape Byron Walking Track past Australia's most easterly point, Wategos Beach, The Pass and then returning back to Clarkes Beach.

During the tour, Delta will share powerful Dreaming stories, offering deep insights into the cultural and spiritual significance of the surrounding landscapes. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about native bush foods and natural medicine, and if we're lucky, we might spot some native wildlife like dolphins, koalas, sea eagles and wallabies.

As you explore the Lighthouse trail, let the beauty of the land and its ancient stories connect you to Country.
