National Parks and Reserves

Byron Bay is the gateway to some of the most magnificent natural creations. If you are a lover of nature, an explorer of life and a straight up adventurer you will loose yourself in these incredible untouched and protected habitats. A Marine Park exploding with life, suspended walkways and bridges swaying above the treetops, a sleeping volcano reaching for the stars and a century old lighthouse now an iconic symbol are a few of the interesting facts that make these parks and reserves incredibly unique and completely fascinating. Pristine beaches, rugged headlands, ancient rainforests, magnificent waterfalls, bubbling creeks and rocky shores make a scenic drive or nature walk a must. If you want to get to know the local inhabitants and feel the earth beneath you, camp under a canopy of stars and listen to the sounds of the wildlife. Protected and heritage listed, these reserves and parks are steeped in history, culture and spiritual folklore.
