About this tour

Spend half a day exploring Byron Bay's lesser-known corners with a guide who knows where locals actually go. You'll paddle across a ti tree lake, trek through Broken Head Nature Reserve to Three Sisters Lookout, and finish on a secluded beach most visitors never find. Private transport gets you between spots, and you'll swim, walk forest tracks, and see the coastline from angles that matter. Moderate fitness required.

Highlights

  • Paddle across mineral-rich ti tree lake at dawn
  • Walk Broken Head reserve's quiet forest trails
  • Reach Three Sisters Lookout with pristine views
  • Access a sheltered beach few tourists discover
  • Private door-to-door transport included
  • Small group, personalised pace and commentary

What to expect

Your guide meets you early and drives you between three distinct stops over five to six hours. The paddle across the ti tree lake is gentle—no experience needed—and the water is noticeably warm and smooth. The forest walk to Three Sisters Lookout takes about ninety minutes at an easy pace; the path is well-defined but uneven in places. You'll emerge onto a quiet beach backed by sandstone cliffs. The final stop is a sheltered cove where most of the morning swimmers have left. Bring water and snacks; there are no shops en route.

Good to know

Moderate fitness means comfortable walking on uneven ground and paddling for thirty minutes. Wear reef shoes or sturdy trainers for the forest sections. Pack sunscreen and a hat—shade is limited on the lookout ridge. Bring swimmers, a towel, and a change of clothes. The drive between spots totals about forty minutes across quiet back roads.
