When people come on our tours, they often ask us, “What else should we do while we're in Byron Bay?” So, we thought we’d share some of our top local tips to help you make the most of your stay:
If you’re looking for an authentic cultural experience, we always recommend Explore Byron Bay with Delta Kay. Delta is an Arakwal Bundjalung woman and a dear friend of ours, who shares her deep connection to Country through guided walks filled with stories, song, and traditional knowledge. Her tours give you a unique insight into the local Aboriginal culture, bush foods, and the spiritual significance of Byron’s beautiful landscapes. It’s a heartfelt and memorable experience that connects you to the true spirit of this place.
Another one of our top local picks is Out of the Blue Adventures. They run incredible marine eco-cruises from Ballina and Byron Bay, where you can spot dolphins, turtles, seabirds, and (in season) migrating whales. Their custom-built boats are super comfortable and low-impact, and their marine biologist guides bring the ocean to life with fascinating facts and a deep respect for the marine environment. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast or just keen to explore our stunning coastline from the water, this is a must-do while you’re in the region.Our initiatives include using a hybrid tour vehicle, when possible. Our aim is to replace all of our vehicle fleet with hybrids or EVs. We operate with renewable energy in our home and office.
or an unforgettable ocean adventure, we always recommend Go Sea Kayak Byron Bay. Paddling out through the waves with their expert guides, you’ll have the chance to spot dolphins, turtles, and even whales during the migration season — all while soaking up epic views of the Cape Byron Lighthouse. They’re passionate about marine conservation and keeping the experience safe, fun, and eco-friendly. Plus, their team is full of local legends who love sharing stories about the sea and this special place we call home.
