Byron Bay: Cape Byron Lighthouse Guided Sunrise Tour

Byron Bay Hinterland, Byron Bay



Guests are taken on a hike through rainforest, beach and clifftops to be the first people in Australia to witness the spectacular sunrise at the most easterly point in the country.

Sunrise Guided Hike and Yoga at Cape Byron Lighthouse

This guided hike at Cape Byron, suitable for active walkers and yoga enthusiasts, offers a sunrise experience combining nature, wellness, and Indigenous culture.

Description

Explore Cape Byron’s diverse landscapes, including rainforest, beach, and clifftops, while learning about native wildlife, conservation efforts, and the area's cultural significance to the Bundjalung (Arakwal) people.

Reach the most easterly point in Australia at the lighthouse to witness the first sunrise of the day. Here, you will be guided through sun salutations—yoga poses paired with meditative breathing—aimed at energizing the body and calming the mind.

This practice enhances mindful awareness, reducing stress while increasing focus and wellbeing. The sunrise activates the pineal gland, also known as the “third eye,” which is believed to aid manifestation and personal growth.

Wander Byron operates under an exclusive licence with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service within the Cape Byron State Conservation Area. Proceeds from bookings support conservation and protection of significant Aboriginal cultural sites and vulnerable species.
