Such a special day thanks to Earthbound Tours! - We had such a special day exploring Lennox and Minyon Falls with James. We started with a relaxed coastal walk in Lennox for sunrise. The trail he took us on was easy to walk and allowed us all to take in the beautiful landscape. After some breakkie, we went to Minyon Falls for another stunning walk and refreshing swim - that was the highlight of our day trip! The beauty tucked away just outside Byron Bay is truly breathtaking and so worth exploring.

 We loved our tour guide as well! James has such an easy-going and fun nature, we had a blast and great chats along the way. Really enjoyed our tour with him and absolutely recommend booking with Earthbound Tours for a fun, magical day out in the hinterland. Wish we could relive our experience

Beautiful serenity in Byron - My partner and I went on this tour hosted by the lovely James! This tour had it all - the scenery was absolutely beautiful, the pick up, drop off and lunch were all seamlessly done and James found the perfect balance of deep local knowledge interweaved with more quiet moments in the serenity of nature. We will definitely be giving one of the other tours a go when we’re up in Byron next time, thanks James!
