Discover pristine, white-sand beaches and secret waterfalls, tea-tree lakes far from the crowds and plenty of quiet water holes only the locals know about. This is the perfect experience for those looking to be immersed in nature out beyond the tourist droves. While the Byron Bay Foreshore might be one of the most photographed beaches in the world, this tropical paradise has so much more to offer those willing to get out and explore it. Come discover a different side of the Byron Shire in good company, with local knowledge and unique insight to make your day here extra special.
One of our favourites we often visit from a dozen or so local spots including a few hidden treasures the tourists don't know about.
A beautiful coastal reserve and stunning stretch of beach with ambling trails through native bush and sweeping views up the coast from the heads.
We often choose to visit the beautiful township and surrounds at Brunswick Heads, maybe taking in a short walk along the Brunswick River and exploring the rainforest and coastline.
The rest of your day will be dedicated to exploring rivers and secret beaches, lesser-known local falls and ti-tree lakes while perhaps meeting a few of our friends along the way. With the option to tailor and personalise the experience along the way, we'll make sure it's perfect for what you're craving from a day out in our own little piece of paradise.

A fabulous private tour led by the equally fabulous Sophie and Lucy. While the weather prevented us from chasing waterfalls, the tour more than lived up to its billing as we shopped, kayaked, paddle boarded, ate, drank and saw the most amazing scenery that the Sunshine Coast has to offer. Lucy and Sophie went above and beyond to ensure we had the most awesome day. Highly recommend!
The visit with Chinis was just amazing. She is adorable and shows you every cool spot and all the yummy food. It was great to spend the whole the with her and see local spots.
Our guide Andrew Maciver was absolutely THE best! He connected well with my two teenage kids, he was prompt, knowledgeable and most importantly, flexible. We made several changes in the fly to our schedule which was created by our travel agent. Andrew even found us a great experience to do over Christmas Day which otherwise would of been a wasted touring day for us - he arranged a snorkeling tour of Julian Rocks on Byron Bay. We even brought Andre along with us even though it was his day off. That's how good he was!
Hey mate, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're very delighted to know you loved your tour with us. Andrew is truly amazing and we're happy to know about the special connection he made with you and your two kids. Let us know if you're ever back in Aus!
Had an awesome day with Andrew touring around Byron Bay. Highlights included a swim in a tea tree lake - incredible! As well as swimming underneath a clear waterfall (Killen Falls), Lennox Head and Broken Head. What an incredible part of the world and Andrew was a wonderful tour guide. Thanks for a wonderful day.
Hello Laura, so sweet of you to leave us a review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience in Byron Bay. Andrew is amazing and we really love having him in our team. Never be a stranger if you ever found yourself back in town!
Andrew was an exceptional guide. Our family of five - from 10 to 80 years old - experienced the Byron Bay locals enjoy. From kayaking to lessons on body surfing, standing under a powerful waterfall and a dip in the most glorious tea tree lake. Lunches at quaint organic spots and drives through the hinterland. It was casual and entertaining. Far surpassed our expectations. Thank you Andrew for taking breathtaking photos, joining in the fun and adding another adventurous two days to my moms 80 birthday celebration.
Hello Kelly, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Sounds like you had an amazing experience! Our goal is provide our guests amazing experiences, and we're glad Andrew was able to give that to your. He's amazing and we love him on our team. Safe travels always, and again, happy birthday to your mom!
We were lucky enough to have Libby as our guide for a few days...and she couldn't have done more to make our trip magical. From beaches to farmers markets, horse riding to waterfalls, lighthouses to didgeridoo, everything was covered. I was already in love with Bryron from previous visits, but she ensured that by the time we left, my boys also loved it and its great surf! She tailored everything to us...including the amazing food. Organised but fun, Libby is the dream guide and Byron the dream location.
We had an amazing day with Localing tours around Byron and surrounding areas. Libby first took us for a coffee to Harvest, the perfect spot to start the day. We then ventured to a nearby waterfall which was incredible! This was a hidden gem, as we were there with only a few others on a glorious Byron day. After a nice dip in the water we checked some cooly quirky shops around Newrybar and Bangalow. Overall, Libby was really knowledgeable about the greater Byron region - its not just Byron that has so much to offer, but also all the nearby towns and nature spots. It's really helpful having a local who knows the area so well who can show you around. Thanks Localing!
We had the best day doing the food tour around the Byron Shire. Started off at the Farmers Markets, then to an oyster farm on the river, up into the hinterland for witchy mushroom brews, had the most insanely delish feast & cooking demo for lunch and then all finished off with bubbles & choc in a banana plantation! SO much fun and absolutely worth doing. Our guides were divine and made the day even more fun & special. Can't recommend Localing tours enough :)
