Description
Step right into the heart of the Byron Bay hinterland on the Minyon Falls Long Walk, a 10 km rainforest trek from Rummery Park to the base of mighty Minyon Falls in Nightcap National Park. With an environmental scientist leading the way, you'll get to know the wild side of this World Heritage-listed valley and its ancient rainforest.
The Minyon Valley hums with life; as you wind your way along the track, keep your eyes open for shy pademelons scampering through the undergrowth, lyrebirds showing off their secret moves, and yellow-tailed black cockatoos swooping overhead. Listen out for frogs, skinks and perhaps spot a lace monitor basking on a rock. Every bend brings new treasures if you know where to look.
At the bottom, the 100 metre drop of Minyon Falls is nothing short of epic. Kick off your boots and cool off with a swim at the waterfall's base, then refuel with a Lunch courtesy of your guide. This is rainforest adventure done right.
The walk is moderate to hard with a few hills and some rock scrambling, but your reward? Afternoon tea or coffee and a Byron Bay Cookie as you swap stories about the day's discoveries. Remember to bring your own water and let us know if you've got special dietary needs when you book.
