Byron Bay and Bangalow from Gold Coast

About this tour

A full-day excursion from the Gold Coast exploring the northern coast's most compelling spots. Start at Cape Byron's lighthouse for panoramic views, grab morning tea at a local favourite, then explore Byron Bay's village culture—shops, galleries, cafes, and beaches. Visit the wildlife sanctuary to see native animals and taste fresh macadamia nuts. Round out the day in the hillside village of Bangalow before heading back south. Small-group format keeps things intimate across eight to nine hours.

Highlights

• Cape Byron Lighthouse walk with coastal vistas

What to expect

You'll travel with fewer than ten others in a comfortable van, picking up from the Gold Coast and heading north. The day splits between two towns: Byron Bay gets the bulk of time, where you'll walk around the headland, browse independent shops, and have space to grab lunch (your choice, your cost) at a beach café or restaurant. The wildlife sanctuary visit is brief but gives you a close look at native species. Bangalow feels quieter—a chance to wander galleries and local craft shops without the Byron crowds. You'll return to the Gold Coast mid-afternoon, retracing the route south.

Good to know

Bring spending money for meals and shopping; nothing's included except water and morning tea. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen—the headland walk is exposed. Two-person minimum applies, so book with at least one other. Public transport is available if you'd prefer not to book the tour.
