A pale-pink dawn breaks over the surf as your group slips away from Byron Bay and into quieter country — ti-tree-scented air rising off a glassy inland lake, rainforest cliffs whispering above a waterfall, and a shoreline that keeps its best views to itself.

A pale-pink dawn breaks over the surf as your group slips away from Byron Bay and into quieter country — ti-tree-scented air rising off a glassy inland lake, rainforest cliffs whispering above a waterfall, and a shoreline that keeps its best views to itself.
This full-day outing threads three distinct landscapes: the healing tannin waters of Lake Ainsworth in Lennox Head, a stand-up paddle on calm sheltered water, and a bushwalk through Broken Head Nature Reserve that drops you onto one of Byron’s most secluded beaches and the Three Sisters lookout. Killen Falls offers a short scramble to a rocky pool where turtles are commonly sighted and the falls demand steady footing. The coastline here sits on Bundjalung country; the ti-tree lakes and headlands have long been places of cultural connection, and the volcanic sands and coastal headlands explain the dramatic contrasts between beach and rainforest.
Expect 5–6 hours of activity with guided transport between sites, a supplied SUP for gentle paddling, and time to swim and explore. Trails can be rocky and muddy after rain; closed-toe shoes are recommended for falls, while swimmers bring quick-dry layers for the lake. Bring sun protection, a refillable bottle, and a dry bag for electronics. Guides emphasize respect for cultural sites and leave-no-trace practices — pack out what you bring in.
Byron Bay’s mix of surf, forest and freshwater makes this an accessible, varied day: part local nature lesson, part active exploration, and part quiet recharge away from the town center.
Yes — stand-up paddle boards are supplied as part of the tour; guides will fit and brief participants before heading out.
