Description

Get ready for an adventure deep into the ancient rainforest of Minyon Valley, just a stone's throw from Byron Bay. This walk is all about exploring the lush World Heritage-listed Nightcap National Park, where Minyon Falls tumbles dramatically 100 metres down to the valley floor and the rainforest feels straight out of Jurassic Park.

Take in the sights and sounds as you trek with an environmental scientist for company; they're not just guiding you, they're sharing secrets of the bush along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for the mystical Lyrebird or a cheeky Pademelon, and tune your ears for the distinctive call of a Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo. Frogs, skinks, crayfish, tiny birds and lace monitors could join the mix if luck is on your side.

After soaking up the rainforest vibes, you can cool off with a swim at the waterfall (if you're keen) and refuel with lunch on us. The adventure wraps up with a well-earned cuppa or coffee and a classic Byron Bay Cookie; because that's how we do it.

This walk is rated moderate to hard with a few hills and some rock clambering thrown in for good measure. Please bring your own water, and let us know if you've got any special dietary needs when you book.
