Glow-Worms, Waterfalls and Rainforest Tour

This hinterland trip from Byron packs a lot into one outing, with rainforest walking, a scenic lookout, a waterfall stop and an after-dark glow-worm visit. It takes you into the UNESCO-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia and suits travellers who want a nature-focused tour without sorting out transport themselves. It is a more active option than a standard sightseeing trip, with moderate fitness needed and covered shoes recommended. Dinner is included, with an organic vegan meal before the evening glow-worm experience.

You’ll head out from Byron into the hinterland, with around 1 hour and 15 minutes of driving each way and stops along the way. The itinerary can change depending on weather, park closures and even the moon, but tours include a waterfall, a lookout and a glow-worm location. Expect a walk through ancient rainforest, time for photos at a major viewpoint, and a swim at a waterfall if conditions are suitable. After dinner, the tour shifts into its evening highlight, with glow-worm viewing accompanied by live music, before returning to Byron later on. Bring covered shoes, a refillable water bottle, swimwear and towel, plus warm clothes for the evening.
