This initial gathering sets the intention for a transformative experience connecting you with the land and its ancient heritage.
Cape Byron State Conservation Area
Explore the spiritually significant Cape Byron State Conservation Area, known as Walgun to the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) Aboriginal People, the land's traditional custodians for over 40,000 years.

This area operates under an exclusive license with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, ensuring its conservation and protection of its rich Aboriginal heritage.
Cape Byron Coastal Track
Traverse the scenic coastal track of Cape Byron, a vibrant ecosystem teeming with marine and terrestrial wildlife. Keep an eye out for playful bottlenose dolphins surfing the waves, turtles rising for air, and majestic rays gliding through the waters.

Cape Byron Lighthouse Sunrise Point
Experience the magic of the first sunrise in Australia at the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse.
