Byron Bay bus tour

Brendon_B, Mar 2024

Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Bangalow and coastal hinterland (Dear Australia Tours) A long day on the road but lots to see and do and this trip was full of pleasant surprises. Guide Trevor has a very modern and comfortable Transit van fitted out as a bus so we travelled in style. He was well prepared with both recorded and impromptu descriptions of scenery and facts as we headed out of Brisbane and towards the NSW border. First stop was the easternmost point in Australia and views of the best beaches anywhere. A coastal walk around the ornate lighthouse provided views of the surfers in action. Lunch at Byron Bay allowed a taste surf/ hippie culture before a hidden gem was reached, the historic town of Bangalow with its street of early twentieth century, where I had the best mint hot chocolate. Finally, we went on to see the glitz and high rise living of the Gold Coast beaches, on the boardwalk there was a Sunday afternoon market in operation. Highly recommended and well worth the ticket price.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks for your great review Brendon. Glad you enjoyed your day of discovery 😊

MUST DO!

Beautiful tour of the coast. We appreciated the special stops for coffee and food at the farm. The vegan roll was delicious. Trevor was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed his travel stories. This was a great tour to see the beaches. Bring a hat, water and sunblock. I wish I would have brought my swim suit as you have time to swim.

Avid Traveler

Louis_Z, Nov 2023

Byron Bay was beautiful and our tour could not have been better. It is a long trip but worth the time. The stops were well timed and great locations. The lighthouse hike was great but does have many steps for those that can’t handle it but tour guide will give you other options.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks for your glowing review Louis! It was great to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed your day with us :-)
