17 days in Byron Bay & Tyalgum Itinerary

Named after Lord Byron's grandfather, Byron Bay is not only famous as the easternmost point of Australia, but even more so as one of the liveliest vacation spots in the country.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Byron Bay Farmers Market as well as Toast the Sun. Explore Byron Bay's surroundings by going to Ballina (Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum & Big Prawn), Murwillumbah (Tweed Regional Museum - Murwillumbah & Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre) and Yamba (Turners Beach & Pippi Beach). And it doesn't end there: enjoy the sea views from Cape Byron Lighthouse, let little ones run wild at Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens, add some adventure to your tour with a kayaking and canoeing tour, and experience rural life at The Farm Byron Bay.
