I went on this tour (14/02/24) and received top quality service. Jeff was knowledgeable and very accommodating as I wasn’t the best swimmer or rock climber! He cooked all of us a bbq for lunch which was also delicious. A thoroughly enjoyed day!

Amazing guide, was really passionate about the wildlife. Made this an incredible experience. Would highly recommend for families, groups of friends, and solo travelers.

Fantastic adventure near Byron Bay!

Jessica_D, Dec 2023

We had a fantastic adventure with Jeff! His knowledge of the area was amazing and the swimming hole was a highlight of our time here in Byron Bay

Lovely time

Anna_I, Oct 2023

Had a lovely time! Tom, our guide, shared his knowledge of the rainforest, Byron bay and australia in general. The hike to minyon falls and back was great; it does require a level of fitness (it does involve a little bit of scrambling towards the falls as well) but Tom helped guide us through safely and patiently. Minyon was dry so Tom took us to Whian whian falls for a swim which was magical. The lunch prepared was great in peaceful and lovely surroundings in Bangalow.

A lovely escape from the town

Charlotte_F, Feb 2023

Lovely day out. Fantastic hike with lots of information. The BBQ was also great too. Well worth it!!

The trip to Minyon Falls...

Michael_H, Jan 2022

The trip to Minyon Falls and Bangalow with tour guide Tom was one of a kind. the scenes were amazing and Tom was even happy enough to take photos for us whilst in the waterfall. During the hike we were able to learn about the nature and history of the area. It was definitely a memorable experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting the Byron region!

Rainforest beauty

Janet_V, Oct 2020

I booked this tour for myself and my 13 year old son. Another woman and her 13 year old son shared the experience. Our tour guide was a polite and gentle man who ensured we and the boys had an educational and enriching experience. The walk is a beautiful one - just long enough but not too challenging - and it was great to be rewarded with the beauty of Minyon Falls and a refreshing swim. The lunch was delicious and We had time to wander around Bangalow. We were comfortable and never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour.

Great for solo travellers

It is an amazing experience. it really helped using the tour because I would probably missed all the things it needs to know about this HUGE place. If you just want to be there at shoot a pictures , this is not for you , nevertheless if you are interested to know all the things beyond the things you will be able to see , believe me, booked it .
