Byron Bay Lighthouse and Hinterland Tour

This half-day tour is a straightforward way to see a few of the main sights around Byron Bay without organising your own transport. It combines a visit to historic Bangalow with time at Cape Byron Lighthouse, where you can take in wide views over the ocean and hinterland from the easternmost point of mainland Australia. If you're visiting between June and October, there’s also a chance of spotting whales, with dolphins seen in the area too.

You’ll travel with a guide and included transport, making this an easy option if you want to cover a few key spots in a short time. The tour includes a stop in Bangalow, described as the oldest settlement in the Byron Bay hinterland, before heading up to the Cape Byron Lighthouse area. From there, expect a walk up to the lighthouse and open 360-degree views across the coastline and inland landscape. You’ll also spend time around Byron’s beaches and lookout areas, with possible dolphin sightings and seasonal whale watching from June to October.
