Set on Bundjalung Country at the edge of Cape Byron, this experience invites guests to encounter Byron Bay through the stories, knowledge and living cultural presence of its Traditional Custodians.
Led by an Indigenous guide along the lighthouse and coastal bush trails, the experience reveals its deeper significance, from native plant knowledge and sacred sites to the enduring connection between land, sea and story. Guests can choose between a lunch or dinner itinerary, with time at Wategos for a swim and refreshment before continuing to an Indigenous dining experience that brings native ingredients, local produce and a strong sense of place to the table.
