Embark on the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk stress-free with our reliable return shuttle bus service, that will drop you off at the trail head near Unicorn Falls and pick you up 4 days later at Minyon Falls. Vision Walks, with 17 years of award-winning experience, has partnered with Byron Bus Company to provide daily transfers from: the South; Byron Bay, Lennox Head, Ballina, Lismore, & Mullumbimby. From the North: Gold Coast Airport, Salt (Kingscliff) and Mullumbimby. Transfers from Uki and Murwillumbah are available upon request. Travel comfortably in air-conditioned vehicles, including a 12-seater Toyota Commuter or 7-seater Nissan Serena hybrid. Bookings are essential to ensure a smooth journey into nature. Let us handle the logistics, so you can focus on the adventure.
For your return journey, you can choose your pickup from Minyon Falls or Minyon Grass. Minyon Falls will take you to the official trail finish. But we think the Minyon Loop is a spectacular finish to your epic walk. It is an extra 6km and finishes at Minyon Grass. You can contact us on the day, if you change your mind. Please note the bus departs Minyon Falls at 11:30 and Minyon Grass at 11:35.
Please note because the walk starts and finishes at different place you will need to book each journey, use the Promo Code "GGW" to get a 10% discount for booking both journeys. Once you book your journey in, an option for your return journey will appear. We are working on making the booking system more streamlined, please bear with us. Alternatively you can click on the service you require in the timetable below.
Parking
Leaving vehicles in the National Park for 4 days isn’t recommended due to limited parking and unassured safety of your vehicle. To that end we will not be able to pick you up from the end and return you to the start of the trail, to pick up your car. Some better options include:
Mullumbimby
Mullumbimby is the best place to start and finish the walk as its the closest point to the start and the finish of the walk. You have a few options:
- Mullumbimby Bus Stop River Terrace - there is unrestricted, free parking next to the bus stop, it is street parking and not secured.
- Mullumbimby Showgrounds - offer an option for you to park there for $10 per night, you can also camp there for $35 per night, call Andrew 0474100189 to make a booking. We can pick you up from the showgrounds. Just let us know when you book.
- Mullumbimby Rugby League Club - have an option for you to park there for the duration of your walk for $35. They also offer unpowered camping sites for $32 per night. To book call 0405198866. We can pick you up from the showgrounds. Just let us know when you book.
Salt - Kingscliff (20 minutes from Gold Coast Airport)
- Mantra and Peppers at Salt have offer our customers a nice little deal, 2 nights accommodation (one at the start one at the end of your walk), includes welcome drink on arrival, breakfast, $50 food & beverage voucher, $100 spa voucher, free parking while you're on the walk. Subject to availability and not including some peak dates around school holidays, public holidays, and festivals.
Byron Bay
Byron Bay is not the best place to leave your car for 3 nights, if you have a car, it would be better to drive to Mullumbimby and park there.
- If you need to park in Byron the best option is Bayshore Drive, near the Solar Train Station.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR THE SHUTTLE SERVICE ONLY. YOU NEED TO BOOK YOUR PLACE ON THE TRAIL AND CAMPING SPOT ON THE NSW NATIONAL PARKS WEBSITE
