Photos don't do it justice! Magical experience to places we wouldn't have visited on our own. Chris is a great tour guide with a passion for nature.

Chris, the tour conductor is the best. The service is excellent. He offered his care and assistances to us throughout the whole journey. The stories told, music played and a break for meditation at the foot of a spring fall is just refreshing and inspiring. Oh, he played a flute piece in the night time rainforest. I found it enchanting and touching. This tour is unforgettable.
Many thanks to Chris

Chris was a great guide and host. He really knows his way around.
We loved every part of this experience. The waterfalls were breath taking and the glow worms were amazing. The dinner and company was also great!
Great evening out

Sightseeing Amongst Newfound Friends - Byron Bay

Our guide, Cristiano, was wonderful! Very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We had a relaxing drive through the hinterland to visit Whian Whian Falls followed by an intimate lunch at the Rocky Lake Dam. The highlight was when we arrived at a tranquil and private location, lost in the midst of the trees and forest, to really experience the essence of what it means to truly live a 'hippie' lifestyle. You can only access this spiritual place by joining this tour group, see the glow worms and experience a bohemian lifestyle! I do recommend!!
Peaceful, adventurous and serene experience

Our tour guide Chris was very kind and knowledgeable. Best experience is listening to his flute skills whilst watching the glow worms in the dark. It was a very peaceful and serene experience. We had such a great time wondering around the Rainbow Temple, where the glow worm cave is located. It was an amazing place to explore and had such a calm and relaxing vibe. Had a wonderful time going for a hike as well to the top of a waterfall in Night Cap Park.
All in all, had a marvelous time relaxing, being at peace and ejoyed the adventurous experience
Excellent

Excellent tour. Not only did we see some great places but our guide really gave the tour a great atmosphere. He talked a lot about the lifestyle in the Byron Bay hinterland area and the history of how it began, sustainable and peaceful living, told us a bit about the glowworms, and did a little meditation with us and served delicious food.
People with mobility issues should be aware that the climb down to the waterfall is quite rocky and people with claustrophobia should be aware that the glowworm tunnel is quite small and narrow.
However, I was very pleased with this tour. I have been on many group tours and this one was especially memorable.
Amazing Experience

An absolutely amazing experience. Chris is a great tour guide, very relaxed but also informative and truly cares about making it a fun time. If you're looking for something different in Byron and seeing beyond the tourists/beaches, I highly recommend this afternoon in the hinterland.

Essential experience

An essential experience for nature lovers, spiritual beings and those who are looking for an adventure. The tour takes you to a secret temple, hidden waterfall and ends with a meditation and delicious light vegetarian dinner in a forest. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to unwind, relax and escape the hustle and bustle in the city life.

Bei der Hinterland Magic Glow Worm experience-Tour werden einem die schönsten Flecken Australiens gezeigt. Diese befinden sich fernab der Tourismus-Hotspots.
Ganz nebenbei lernt man die Landesgeschichte Australiens besser kennen, und wird sogar zu einer gemeinsamen Meditation eingeladen.
Auch das dort gebotene Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt.
Des weiteren war der Tour-Guide sehr freundlich, und hat alle Fragen, die ihm gestellt wurden zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit beantwortet,
Alles in Allem hat diese Tour meine Erwartungen bei Weitem übertroffen. Die Orte, die ich hier sehen durfte waren wunderschön und einzigartig.
Ich bedanke mich an dieser Stelle nochmals bei dem Tour-Guide für diesen unvergesslichen, wunderschönen Tag.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
