What to expect
You'll depart the Gold Coast with up to nine other travellers in a comfortable, climate-controlled coach. The morning centres on Byron Bay's headland precinct—expect a pleasant walk to the lighthouse and time to absorb the coastal views. Mid-morning, you'll settle in at The Farm café for tea and conversation. The afternoon splits between self-directed exploration (shops, beach, cafes) and a quick wildlife sanctuary visit. Bangalow comes next: wander quiet streets lined with galleries and local makers' studios, stop at a viewpoint, then head back south, pausing briefly on the Gold Coast before the return to your starting point.
Good to know
