What to do and see in Byron Bay, New South Wales: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

July 20, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Byron Bay's beaches are dotted with lighthouses and surrounded by bottlenose dolphins, rays, whales and sea turtles. This former New South Wales whaling station turned tourist town is still strongly influenced by its recent bohemian past, when hippie lifestyles flourished. Bongos and didgeridoos sound in parks, sarongs and dreadlocks are common, and vegetarian restaurants abound. Give in to the casual vibe and stroll between beaches and bars for a low-key and happy day.

My wife and I had a great time at the distillery. I had low expectations for the rainforest tour, but it turned out to be really good and quite informative. Our host Elias did a great job. The gin tasting and information session (on the distillation process) was also really good. Thoroughly recommend this as an activity.

I love Byron so much. It’s getting quite commercial now and the prices are up there, but I definitely love the vibe and how everything is centrally located , so I recommend getting accomodation near by so you don’t really need to touch the car unless you’re driving to surf spots. I would avoid going during schoolies and school holidays to avoid the chaos .
